Yeah i agree. It was a very sad thing. And even worse to make light of when you consider the number of people who become imprisoned for minor things or even wrongly. If prison rpe is so prevalent as Reddit jokes made it seem, it wouldn’t only happen to people who those making the jokes believe ‘deserve it’ (which, also, is awful to think about rpe.) I remember learning in class about David Milgaard, and he wrote about his experiences, including that violation. I wonder if those who joked “they’ll love (random young guy in publicfreakouts video) in prison” even know or care how awful r*pe really is. It’s really something that should be prevented.

When someone would ask a good question that you also wanna know the answer to, but then all the “answers” were just jokes bc everyone wanna get upvotes. I dont really mind jokes but those times it was a bit sad, then sometimes no one would answer for real bc i guess they see 10 replies and assume surely one of them is real already.

Also repost bots.

And apple vs samsung feuds.

And sometimes looked like whenever some people try to organize action or protests, comments just spamming that “protests do nothing” or “voting does nothing,” or “what is this gonna do,” not suggesting any other solution either, almost like trying to encourage apathy? Or discourage action. Sometimes i wondered if those were bots.

Also the r/wooosh when someone didn’t understand a joke. .-.

I’d like to say that I’ve seen comment of yours about language before and I want to say I really respect this. I know for me some words are harder to say in English (like rural - though I have practiced! But atm when I say sounds a bit like roool lol) and before seeing on Reddit, I wouldn’t have thought that conversate isn’t considered a word by so many! It doesn’t seem so wrong to me. And it helps to know there are people in the world like you who wouldn’t just be disgusted by the difference.

Hello i hope you dont mind if i post that post, in case someone does not want to go onto reddit:

How can i hide this post

I feel like it might show them that doing nice things is a way to get attention. Maybe that’ll encourage them to do nice things. Is probably more favourable than influencers that teach doing mean things is ok because it’s on camera or it’s funny or just a joke, and that being mean is a way to get attention. Though its important for children to know that attention isnt everything.

Did it even start as that? Or did Reddit just bought it and put it away and made something completely different?

SAME its happened on Reddit where I would have a back and forth w someone where we disagreed but it was respectful, and then in the middle of it I’d notice the other person’s comments being -1 even new ones. Meaning someone who isnt in the convo would start downvoting the other person, and I’d be like ‘what if they think I did it? What if that damages a mutual understanding they were close to reaching? What if that turns them off from considering a different point of view bc they assume I’m doing it and that I’m hostile?’ Then sometimes I’d be like “sorry someone is downvoting you its not me”

Everyone, on kbin u can see who boosted , downvoted/reduced, or upvote/favourited any comment by pressing “more” then “activity”. For posts it’s at the bottom of the comment section

Just say youre doing whatever it is youre doing. Like “relaxing, staying home” (? If the field is at your home? Or is there no field and that was a joke lol) I’m not from or in the U.S.A. and if someone asked (online) I’d probably just say “just staying home I don’t live in the U.S.A. .” (But since you’re in the U.S.A. ofc u dont need to say the second part.)

The article says

In a brief statement Friday, Sweden’s Prosecution Authority said it has launched ”a preliminary investigation where the crime classification is murder, but there is no suspect in the case.”

Maybe that is what the person meant or referrence

I rlly feel like 2023 is a year of a lot of things coming to light. Not just because of this but there was some stuff that happened earlier in the year and i got the impression that that’d be the ‘theme’ for this year (it feels like since 2020 every year has a ‘theme’ in some way.) This isnt super related tho but i feel like if there was any doubt that these companies are profit driven and WILL put that above user experiences, even if only for pennies, is largely been confirmed this year.

I didnt know that was true. Some famous people ive seen called really attractive dont have perfectly symmetrical faces. In fact for some of them its not too hard to notice the asymmetry but theyre still really attractive… i think the amount that symmetry comes into play might not be as high as other stuff like the shape/size of features, if at all. but ya.

Also for the hair thing i think is just bc some hairstyles look cuter than others depending on the person. Not necessarily middle part for everyone tho is not bad.

Why is every point marked ‘1.’ lol

Its under more, then activity

Boosts = boosts, reduces = downvotes, favourites = upvotes

I didnt like to check the karma on my comments bc what if i got downvoted or worse… what if someone replied to me and id have to engage in conversation?! :0

I dont, but i understand people expecting kbin or Lemmy to be replacements bc people have said that theyre replacements for Reddit and to move there. And tbh kbin is not bad (havent used Lemmy much)

So much of that, just trying to profit off people helping and communicating with others. Those should be free, or at least not exploited! I wonder how it was like back when the internet was new. I was not alive yet then, but i wonder if people then even thought about how much would be commercialized? Or were they hoping it will now just be an easy way to communicate with people all around the world, share info and stuff. Idk if most people knew that the desire to connect with others would be capitalized on like this. What was the internet made for in the start? I always heard to help more long distance communication, sharing and learning. But now is just turn into capitalisme highway. That it does not even matter about human connection, all that matters is something is produced to be consumed as cheaply as possible. Its sad.

Yea. I guess “reddit cannot survive without its moderators” =/= “reddit cannot survive without HUMAN moderators.” Probably if they had the capacite to, and any excuse, they wouldve already just replaced mod system with AI.

I heard some people are doing on June 30/July 1st bc thats when the changes were suppose to go into effect.
