Please, people. Be reasonable and considerate of Reddit's need to make money. It is, afterall, spez's main focus.

Just have it reply to every comment with the What did you say to me/Navy Seal copypasta.

Yeah guys watch your fucking mouths

Now I'm sorry I nuked my accounts. Sadly, creating a new account would just drive up Reddit adoption numbers and support the IPO.

What's up with people posting screenshots of text here? Are these screenshots of things random no name redditors are saying on reddit? Are these pictures of posts that are getting tons of upvotes or significant in any sort of way?

It's highlighting a fun new way mods are protesting without being shut down.

People just don't want to link directly to the site. I know I'm still boycotting as much as possible, I've only gone back to post a link to a kbin guide. Also, what is a no-name redditor? Would you take this more seriously if someone else had said it?

Not wanting to link to reddit makes sense.

Though I would say, I would take something more seriously if a Reddit admin or a mod from a dozen subreddits said it. That would add lot more significance to a post like this. If it was from a highly upvoted post, then it's be more likely a form of protest that reddit mods might have seen or even decide to take seriously.

When I don't see any attribution I can't help but think it's just OP faking a post or just trying to get attention for themselves instead of just posting a text post to discuss the idea. Maybe I'm just jaded from my days on reddit though.

I think part of it is to continue that interest in the old site .... some of these posts are really suspicious in the way they keep wanting to drive people back to interact with the old site in one way or another - malicious or not, it's still driving traffic there

I gave up cold turkey ... I dumped the site, the app, all my accounts (I had four) and just stopped looking into the site or doing anything there

The best thing to do with social media sites you don't like is to just stop interacting with them ... completely.

I'm active now on kbin and lemmy ... I'll keep all my activity on these media sites from now on ... I'm not wasting my energy on the old dumpster fire.

Oh geez, I mean oh jizz.

i can’t believe people here are actually falling for this being a serious post vs the β€œyou shouldn’t be doing this because it hurts reddit wink wink nudge nudge” that it actually is.

??

Did you drop this? --> /s

Or are you looking for instructions? Here:

Step 1: Go to Reddit.

Step 2: Make a sailor blush.

These people probably stopped reading before the last sentence, lol

I could not imagine stanning a company's ability to run ads. Like, I don't care about ads. Worse, I am actively antagonistic towards the concept of ads. I cannot get into the headspace of this poster. What a loser.

[–] ketsugi@lemmy.ml 10 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I think you’re missing out that the post is sarcastic and it is in fact encouraging people to swear and turn all the subreddits into NSFW subreddits that are unusable for advertising

Lmao my B. I have my stupid hat on today.

[–] zalack@kbin.social 3 points 1 year ago

It's the weekend. No need for smart hat until Monday.

[–] SturgiesYrFase@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

Admitting you have a problem is the first step on the road to recovery. Thoughts and prayers pal!

[–] DoakSteezy@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I genuinely can’t tell where the sarcasm ends in this context

[–] can@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

It doesn't.
