Ahh interesting!

I've seen Ernest as the owner of a lot of those magazines, and I figured that they defaulted back to him if the creator had left or something. Claiming them and deleting them is a clever solution!

Yeah I think you're right. The order seems random, but it's generally the same magazines for me too. No rhyme or reason to them, and most of them are empty.

I'm with you on this.

I started out at lemmy and moved over to kbin because I liked its versatility. Lemmy just seemed like a left-leaning version of reddit. kbin seemed like a new and interesting to interact over the web.

Of toxicity? Or of the mods being monsters?

I don't have specific examples, since I stopped using the Japan subreddits several years ago. But they are swamps of toxicity. Everyone is mad at each other and seems to hate their own lives. The new users ask the same 3 basic questions every single day, while the old users seem like new users are the only thing they hate more than Japan. The mods are ban happy and will punish people like tyrants for the slightest mistake, and while I sympathize with them for the crap they have to sift through, they themselves are some of the sub's most toxic users. It's just a terrible place.

The main problem is actually with users like you

Really, you meant no offense by that?

Jesus Christ man. I am active in the magazines that I've subscribed to. I post. I comment. I read. How the fuck is this my fault?

In fact, looking at your profile, I comment more than you. So don't blame me just because I asked the question when you actually have no idea what my situation is.

Japanese residency topics

You're a braver person than I. The Reddit Japan subs are just far too toxic for me, and several of the mods are monsters.

Is that how it works? It doesn't seem like that... the "Random Magazines" section seems truly random. Sometimes I'll find something with posts, it's just that 9 times out of 10 it's an empty magazine with zero activity. And the top bar is far worse than that. I'd say 19/20 of the magazines up there have absolutely zero content.

Honestly if they got bumped out by magazines with activity that would be awesome.

Are you sure about that? They take up valuable real estate that could be better served promoting active magazines. Having a good portion of the home page filled up with empty links is not helpful at best.

Unfortunately it's the American public that is paying the price for the stupid prizes.

This guy hits a nerve for me.
So it's OK if I destroy him, right?

I mean, using his reasoning anyway.

My god... this argument again.
Everyone is sooooo concerned about Biden's age, but not Trumps. It's bizarrely unbalanced.

Fine dude. Convince him to step aside. I'll vote against Trump no matter who the Democratic Party fields. Can you say the same?

I don't disagree, but...

Post titles should be the same as the article used as source.___ Posts which titles don’t match the source won’t be removed, but the autoMod will notify you, and if your title misrepresents the original article, the post will be deleted. If the site changed their headline, the bot might still contact you, just ignore it, we won’t delete your post. ___

It's really annoying when the post title is different from the article title.
