-was the checkmate forced?

-yes, it was a forced checkmate sir.

-the defendent confessed to using force, the prosecution rests your honor.

Dude is an absolute narcissist. The way he understands the world is in leader-follower hierarchies. He likes the position of power he's in and absolutely can't stand there are other people with power, especially if those people's power is a necessity for maintaining something rather than ruling something.

He can't understand third party app developers do it because they love reddit and want to make it easier and more fun to use. No, they must be doing it because they can't build another reddit and want to feel like they own something they can't. He can't understand moderators are mostly people who are trying to keep the communities they love alive against all sorts of situations which can drive members away. No, they must be doing it because they want to have power over people, and the more their community seems to like them, the more proof it is of how well the moderator manipulated them.

I swear they can't conceive of people who are independently deciding to do things. It's always leaders and their followers for these fuckwads.

I watched it in theater on its first week!

It was glorious. Still my favorite, hands down.

Are we sure? Did the shoes come off?

I wish I was moderator material. I'd like to help if I believed I could do it while keeping my sanity intact.

I'll probably immediately throw a fit and fuck things up if I'm ever in that position though. I have absolutely no notion of patience.

When are we starting to call it deddit?

You might have accidentally a word there

That is absolutely amazing!

Gorgeous sword too. I wonder who the owner was. I'm going with local hero in my imagination.

Let's be honest.

A lot of us left because we saw the writing on the wall, even if we were a bit ambiguous on the exact details.

Enshittification to the max and as fast as possible.

We need deliberate efforts to archive everything efficiently.

We also need a way to decouple everyone's personal info from publicly available information about them, keeping in mind that not all publicly available information is intended to be that way.

Storage ain't cheap and it definitely ain't infinite.

This is a way harder problem than "the internet" being a bit more mindful can solve easily.

Not to absolve any companies from responsibility or anything.
