i almost kind of suspect we performatively hate reddit so much because, if we had to acknowledge that it's massively, hilariously larger than us and is used by a pretty large chunk of people across the world, we'd have to acknowledge that we have all the same problems, but proportionately worse due to our smaller userbase. a hundred nazis on a site with millions of people is a little less of a problem than one nazi on a site of maybe 20,000.

Even if your made up proportions were correct, I hope you can understand how a hundred nazis with the ability to form communities and reinforce each other's ideas is considerably worse than having one kramering around

No, I'm just peeved at them because they dried nicely for me (I have a lot of dried roses in my room) but then slowly began to droop their heads over the following year just to be spiteful :mad:

Thus, I suppose, my problem was created in the first place by denying them water, but what can you do

Also, there have been a lot of personal snipes in here recently. I know everybody is getting more and more tense and anxious with literally every day of the news cycle but I think that's particular reason not to try to antagonize each other right now or respond to antagonism in kind. I don't want to interfere with Moon Slayer's jurisdiction but it's something that has been mounting as everyone grows more and more fearful and angry and I am going to get ahead of this now.

I'm not going to probate anyone at the moment as this had not yet been addressed, but I may well in the future.

We hate reddit because they got big hosting child porn. Fostering child porn communities and stanning the redditors that brought in traffic by being huge contributors to it. This is not a challenging one to work out.

er... that's not how reddit got big at all. it got big because Conde Nast bought it years before it was even on our radar for anything like that (2006), dumped shitloads of money into advertising it as a news aggregator, and went hands-off on everything unrelated to the purpose they were dumping money into it for.

the porn people (of both legitimate and creepy-illegal kinds) just piggybacked onto that and took advantage of the hands-off pay-no-attention approach... until we raised a shitstorm about the CP, Conde Nast noticed what the creeps were doing, and the site promptly locked down way harder than before because they realized that a largely un-adminned, monstrously huge site was a bad loving idea.

i've met a grand total of three goons in the wild across my whole life

i had a buddy in high school who was a TCC poster and eventually bailed on the site for leftbook because he was a creep and kind of an rear end in a top hat, and goons hated him

my old boss from where i currently work is an ex-goon who kind of didn't realize SA was still a thing and mostly uses reddit nowadays (I don't think he got banned or anything, just jumped ship because SA looked like it was dying)

and my fiancee is a lurker goon entirely because she kept reading it over my shoulder and laughing her rear end off

I went on a date with a girl from OkCupid last year and she was a goon.

Also went to high school with me and we didn’t realize it until we were two hours in, but somehow her being a goon was more surprising.
