Affirmative action for rich kids is alive and well in the USA
  • Money is the supreme value above all others in USA culture.

    Let's be fair here. Money is the supreme value above all others in ALL of modern culture. Not just USA. If you have a billion dollars you can do basically anything you want, anywhere you want to do it.

  • Reddit’s 2023 r/Place turned into a battleground for dunking on the CEO
  • Man, I don't know. I know this is just a personal anecdote, but around my friend circle, I haven't gotten a single share from reddit in over a month when we used to send links back and forth daily. Those same people have said they haven't visited reddit in a month, other than the rare checkin on the drama.

    I'm sure the significance of the impact is relatively small, but I'd also guess many of those that left were heavy users and contributors. I'll go over there to check every few days and have noticed the content quality is significantly worse than 2 months ago.

    That said, it is also very possible this whole thing blows over and the million or so of us that left are meaningless in reddits overall lifespan.

  • Child Safety on Federated Social Media
  • What other bait communities? We can't just accept "think of the children" as an excuse. That doesn't work.

    Yes, no one wants actual CSAM to show up in their feed, we can all completely agree on that. But just because some middle-aged woman can't tell the difference between a 20 year old and a 15 year old, doesn't make images of the 20 year old CSAM.

  • Child Safety on Federated Social Media
  • There are communities on NSFW Lemmy where people intentionally present as children engaged in sexual abuse scenarios.

    If you are referring to the community that was cited as the reason for defederation, this is completely false. The community in question is adorableporn, extremely similar to the subreddit of the same name. No one, in any manner, in either community, presents as a child. While yes, the women that post there tend to be on the shorter and thinner side, calling short, thin adults 'children' is not being honest.

    To be clear, this community is about petite women. This community is NOT about women with a kink to present as a child.

  • What are your honest opinions about fake reddit stories?
  • I've assumed all "personal" stories on reddit were fake since I started reading reddit. I'm sure that isn't true of all of them, but I've found it better for my mental health to just assume those stories are all fiction or creative writing exercises.

  • Why did you buy a Blizzard game in 2023?
  • Simply put, because Blizzard still makes great games. I had a blast with Dragonflight. I'm currently having a blast with Diablo4.

    I've had very few connectivity issues with D4, even at launch, the game has been smooth as butter. Yeah, I wasn't able to login for a bit recently, but it wasn't much of a bother.

  • Six verified Reddit employees discussing the current atmosphere at the company. Featuring "First the company needs to get rid of Steve", "It's garbage", and actively hoping to be laid off. : r/ModCoor
  • he's managed to lose money, burn bridges, and fuck up the whole deal all for thppe sake of chasing a few dollars of API revenue

    Let's call this what it actually was though, there was no attempt at making money from the API. This was entirely to shut down 3rd party apps. Smart AI companies will just scrape reddit. The only people affected by this are 3rd party app developers and users.

    This is even more amazingly incompetent. There are a near infinite other ways they could have handled 3rd party apps not showing ads, but they instead chose the brute force method that makes no one happy.

    Reddit is incompetence. That is their lifeblood.

  • r/AskMen mods told to reopen or be demodded, most opt to leave on their own
  • How else would anyone read this statement?

    Oh the irony of AskMen complaining about hatred

    Calling it irony is absolutely insinuating that AskMen is hateful.

    That said, I'm happy to be shown I'm wrong. How did you intend for this comment to be interpreted?

  • How do you go about clearing your backlog?
  • Another point of consideration, why do you want to finish all of these games?

    Personally, I rarely finish games. So many times I'll play for 6-8 hours and just start to lose interest. At that point I quit the game, maybe to come back to it a few weeks, months, years later, but maybe not.

    You have to remind yourself that games are 1) fun, 2) art, and 3) time wasters. The whole point of playing a video game is to waste time, so don't spend that time playing something that isn't fun.

    But that's me and how I do it. Good luck!
