My response
I'm... done with this guy. He's trading in his old mindset of not taking the black pill and doing and not giving in to rage and bitterness, andj ust... taking a steaming shit on people.

His attitude is summed up by a comment that.... frankly is the reason I'm not following the man anymore.

'If reddit mods were winning at life they wouldn't be reddit moderators. They literally do it for free.'
Counterpoint: Some people like being helpful for its own sake or knowing that the job has to be done and that a community of like minded people is goodto have even if they're essentially the janitor.

Then this string of comments
'Redditors losing is nothing new'
'Selfishness and losing at life is the very essence of being a redditor.'
'There is a reason people make fun of "redditors"'
'The average reddit user has never stood up to anybody except their mother, who's basement they reside in. I can't say I'm surprised.'
Counterpoint: You do not know these people. Yet you paint a broad brush for the sake of simply pointing, laughing, and going 'HA I'm better than THOSE people HAHAHA look at me!.'

Then there is this gem
'Louis, I think what you should understand is that an awful lot of these critiques of your actions are made by people who are, in some way or another, Jokers. Heath Ledger Jokers, to be exact. What they are trying to do is prove that deep down, everyone is as ugly as they are. They lash out at you because they are convinced that you must be a bad-faith actor in some way, because they can't imagine acting selflessly for a cause that doesn't expressly benefit them. You aren't blind, so why exactly would you ever bother going out of your way to help a blind person? This is the kind of behaviour that a large part of the modern internet condones and actively promotes, especially reddit. Corporations know this, and they encourage this, because they know it is very effective as a what amounts to a digital union-busting measure.'

Commentary:
White knighting louis's behavior while also describing anyone criticising his methods as inhernetly and intrinsicly 'wrong.'

This is why I am walking away from Rossman. He's inviting this sort of behavior.

I'm no saint. Far from it. I actually agree with several people who have, over the years, screamed at me that I need mental help. My problem is these people are broad brushing for the sake not of commentary and reaching to either help or to give 'tough' love to rock someone out of complacency, but to make themselves feel better because nobody is going to stick up for 'a redditor.'

Replace 'redditor' or 'reddit mod' with other words.

'If black people were winning at life they wouldn't be in this situation. They literally do it for free.'

''Selfishness and losing at life is the very essence of being gay.'
'There is a reason people make fun of "homosexuality".'

Suddenly not so OK is it?

So no. I don't care what points the man might have. Look at the commentary he's inviting with his 'look how shitty and stupid these people are' rhetoric.

I'm out.

Hope you get in. We need technically minded folk to pick it apart.

@hariette As someone with poor (but still useable) eyesight and low end android hardware. I'll try doing my part to break things (while documenting what I can) to help you improve.

[–] Singletona@kbin.social 2 points 2 years ago

Perfect. Thank you.

 

I can completely understand wanting to differentiate from Reddit, but to me, this is a matter of convenience and priority. Putting right after the article implies commenting on the article is emphasized. Putting it at the bottom of the comment page implies a want to comment on the comments.

Maybe there's a reason I'm not seeing here? Am I just dumb?

[–] Singletona@kbin.social 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Eeh. I'm just going to keep deleting it instead.

For me it is the message more than anythin because otherise they'll just whine 'you'll be back.'

Posts like this are just black pilling.

Given a descendant of this technology has the potential for seizure moderation, which is something my sister basically will need as the medication she uses will inevitably require doses that would destroy her liver or leave her all but vegetative. It's super interesting from a technical aspect and hyper-relevant.

However, given Musk's antics especially as of late? I wouldn't trust him to not accidentally intentionally kill people, or use it as a way to have an unremovable keylogger with the end goal of 'Oh those are some nice eyes you've got there,' or 'lovely able to live without going into convulsions isn't it? It'd be a shame if that changed.'

Dude's political flambaiting. Flag and move on.

[–] Singletona@kbin.social 2 points 2 years ago

If you gotta go. Go out swinging.

I couldn't think of anything creative or witty and hit the delete button on mine.

[–] Singletona@kbin.social 5 points 2 years ago

That's kinda what you find out over time and as you see platforms crumble.

the platform itself is just a wrapper for the discussions. If you can find somewhere with those discussions? The wrapper is irrelevant.

Buttered, seasalt, carmel, or are you going full crackerjacks?

i'm going crackerjacks on this one. Went seasalt for twitter.

Dude, my bullshit meter blew its fuses and the magic smoke's poured out.

'What's Scum?'
'bankers, politicians, cattle kings. Scum.'

Also, as a disabled internet user, those APIs are of value for the sake of accessability. Given Reddi'ts own app is, and forgive me to use technical jargon here, steaming pile of bullshit even for those with perfect vision?

Yea fuck you too spez.

 

Beyond differing official subs for warframe and deep rock galactic? Most of my time on Reddit was spent on r/hfy or r/writingprompts.

Are there any substitutes here?
