Or, just bad. There's nothing generic about Ed Hardy. Most people elect to look generic rather than be caught dead in that mess.

I've never been able to read gfycat as anything but "go fuck your cat," so that's a thought I never knew I'd miss.

It's OK, most people don't know much about escrow services. They're usually too scared to even ask. Just make sure you pay her with cash and don't trust anyone who let's you go without a condom.

"how much does it pay? $$$" lol.

What a sad iteration of the Internet we live in. Part of me wants to roll my eyes and call that person a stupid kid. Another part of me knows it actually pays to be vigilant to shit like this, because reddit is absolutely rampant with bots and trolls. Sad that a person can't just spread the word about something they enjoy anymore without there being some mundane - yet still somehow nefarious, ulterior motive behind it.

Got suspended for criticizing spez

You done a bad thing… you done a bad, bad, no-good thing.

Have you noticed basically no one downvotes here? The user base seems to be more accessible and emotionally mature in general so far.

I had an account from 2010, and over the course of the 2016 US presidential election is when I started noticing the shift. Society seems to have shifted in general. MeToo and BLM coincided around that time, as well.

kbin could be a bit bigger, but the collective reddit personality is downright insufferable, and I suspect it's largely because of its size. There are just too many people with opinions as strong as they are different, and we're often not any better off after our interactions with them.

Plus all the troll bots and fake AI posts.

It turns out, you just need to find some people who bite their lower lip when they see the whip come out.

I tried for a hot minute over COVID, and it was buggy as hell, but overall, a fun and active environment before they scrapped it.

I've been part of Discord for a long time, but it feels like there aren't many general chat options, they're all based around a thing I'm not familiar with and don't like. And then so many servers seem to be children.

I'll say, those chatrooms really helped get me through 2020. I found them a couple months before COVID struck and the lockdown was a lot easier with the friends I made in those chatrooms. It's not something I think should be forced, but if it looks like the support is here, I'm making it known early on that I'm for it and would love it.

 

I really miss chatrooms in general, and I thought we were due for a comeback for the year or two reddit was running them, what with the userbase they have.
