Reddit fumbing their own policies and implementations? Never happened before.

Not logged in. Seems to be only read mode.

I just counted all my upvotes and it matches my rep now.

Verstappen: What happened mate?
Checo: I didnt see you coming. You got a very good run.
Verstappen: Oh. Ok. Not intentional?
Checo: No.

Checo: Turn 3 tho.
Verstappen: Oh, my mum is calling.

I'd say reduce the limit to 600 for verified accounts and unverified to 60 and new accounts to 30.
The world will be a better place.

Example. One of the better subreddits has a "few" rules.

The rules are too long for a post here.... so you get a small image.

Just no. Upvote and downvote is all you need.

Nobody wants to listen.

When it happens it's basically overnight. Like stretching a rubberband that you pull and pull and think it's fine. Then you pull just a little bit too hard and it snaps. It will be impossible to put it together again.

We are no more than a few years, maybe a decade away from the hottest countries being completely unlivable. We are talking about 2+ Billion people that needs to move in a very short time. It's coming and coming quickly. We're not ready. Billions will die.

"The planet will be fine, it's us humans that are fucked." /Slightly paraphrased George Carlin.

 

Reddit seems to restrict posting so much in different subs that freedom of thought is impacted. One has to think if the post is within not only Reddit rules, but the special rules in the sub, and one had to make the title and post Reddit specific in style (simple, punny, meta).
And if one happened to post a topic that was really good or great, a mod sometimes deleted the post anyway with a vague explanation.... and then you see the post appear by that same mod with slightly different wording as it was their own. Call them out on it and you were muted, and sometimes even banned.
If one had a dissenting opinion on a topic, and brought forth a compelling argument, automatically the post was downvoted by the hive-mind and no discussion took place.

They called themselves the front page of the Internet. I found the doors closed and locked and all the pens out of ink.

Weird. RIF still works here.

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

Fediverse gives me hope there is still life left in and on the Internet.

[–] Cal@kbin.social 6 points 1 year ago

RIF was always a very very good app. Probably the best app I have used on android.

Red Dwarf.
It's goofy. It's campy. It's sometimes terrible.
But it grows on you and by the time you are done through season 2 you love the show and only want more. And oh yes there is more, much more.
