While I agree, no one should be behind this shit company, it's quite a standard thing to do.

Literally every social media platform has the ability to reset a users username so they can free it up. It happens all the time.

Are you famous enough? Cool, contact any company about taking over the username "Jake" and they'll give you it. Doesn't matter that the other dudes name is Jake. Doesn't matter they had it first. Doesn't matter that it isn't a trademarked name.

Even if you don't, all other providers will blacklist you, and you'll constantly be fighting for your email to work.

Saw on TikTok the Reddit account posted a cropped timelapse of techno blade. Wonder if it's the only place that fuck spez didn't find it's way into, so they focused on that?

Also they blacklisted the word spez, so no comments can mention his name lmao.

Problem where I am is theft.

Public transit is too far away to comfortably use it, and my bike will 100% be stolen if I leave it anywhere.

I'm left with driving. Even if it's a few kilometers down the road. My bike would be stolen while I'm in the grocery store, and walking to the bus and waiting 15+ minutes for the next one to arrive is crazy considering it's a 10 minute drive to start.

Being a climate activist is important.

Being malicious to others is garbage behaviour and you're doing nothing but making sure people actively want to hurt the environment out of spite.

These people also give genuine climate activists a bad name. Reminds me of when extremists ruined the word feminist. It's hard to explain to people that you want women to be treated equal, but you don't hate men and want them to die.

Yes.

Would you like to explain why you say no?

Mastodon. Seems like the logical choice, considering you're already on the fediverse, and a lot of people already moved to Mastodon when Musk bought Twitter.

You would like it if you had slow internet, or you hosted a website.

My website turned 5MB images into 100KB images using webp. My website now loads instantly, saves you bandwidth, and me costs!

You guys are getting 25/3? Damn. Must be nice.

If he couldn't control Reddit, and he was still around to see it turn into what it is today, he would've left years ago and started Reddit 2.0

Wish the Snapchat CEO would say that. They finally released dark mode on Android and locked it behind a pay wall on Android only..
