Sound Off: How many 10+ year redditors have left the site?
  • 12+ years user, I nuked all my accounts when the 3rd party apps died. I still follow a few subs that have no replacement yet.

    Those events right before summer reddit ensure its a smoldering pile of rotting compost.

  • Which gadget makes your life better?
  • My Instant Pot. I'm the cook at home and it saves me so much time and food comes out so good I barely use my stovetop anymore. Same with the air fryer. Between both kitchen gadgets, I can make a tremendous meal for 4 in 30 minutes. It has saved me weeks!

  • Question: People who still frequent Reddit, has it gone back to business as usual or are the protests still having effect?
  • What sucks is there's still a few very good subs with big communities that don't seem to be moving to the fediverse, which is still too geeky for a lot of people. However, now that Reddit is banning active members and moderators, it's a matter of weeks until the whole thing turns into 4chan-on-a-bad-day. At this rate we'll all get back to usenet by 2024.

  • Question: People who still frequent Reddit, has it gone back to business as usual or are the protests still having effect?
  • Reddit has made it easy now that my mobile apps are gone. Also, my main account got permananned on Tuesday apparently out of comment posted 5 years ago about spez. Also, a niche sub I followed was taken over by a Nazi when the historical mod got kicked out by reddit and now that's gone too.

    Reddit has slipped into being irrelevant very quickly.

  • Doug Ford wants alcohol in convenience stores
  • I know that from official data and having lived there. Restrictions are a catalyst for excessive use. Those restrictions have been around for quite some time and generally haven't made things any better. Those who want to drink will drink, regardless of how many assholes are between them and the liquor store.

    This points to other socioeconomic causes for alcoholism. Any prohibition or restriction is just punishing the victims further.

  • Doug Ford wants alcohol in convenience stores
  • I've been to Australia and booze was very easy to get by, there's even drive-thru booze stores there. They are however extremely strict on under-age sales of booze and tobacco and that's a great thing in my opinion - the store gets shut down if caught.

  • Doug Ford wants alcohol in convenience stores
  • I've lived in quite a few places in my life and those that have the worst alcohol problems are the most restrictive ones. Restricting means more binge drinking, there's a lot of empirical evidence showing that.

    Perhaps it's high time our government stops treating us like irresponsible children.

  • Doug Ford wants alcohol in convenience stores
  • Yo can buy wine and beer in corner stores and drink in parks all over Quebec and it's not a problem. Ontario isn't different, except for the persistent smell of prohibition (which started in Ontario!).

    They said the same thing about weed stores and there hasn't been any increase in accidents.

    Those who want to drink will drink, making it more accessible won't change that. It'll be nice not having to drive multiple kilometres to get a sixpack.
