You gotta start killing people dude. History shows that’s how you get your way.

Just look at how the reddit protest ended. Once threatened with losing their status as mods, they all caved.

Money and power are powerful motivators, and the mods work for free.

They’re authoritarian and they hate the west. Of course they’re appealing to communists.

Western commies idolising brutal authoritarian regimes is nothing new.

Edit2: wow I never expected to wake up to so many awards, who’d knew my most updooted comment would be about this?

You are the only one who decides what gives your life meaning, and you decide what counts as “waste”. If your meaning is keeping up with people who have achieved big goals without working hard to achieve big goals of your own, you’ll probably end up envious and miserable. A lot of people like doing that so you’ve got plenty of company to wallow in your misery with if that’s what you want to do.

I’d suggest finding another form of meaning.

Vanlige dagligvarebutikker får selge øl, sider og annet opptil 4.75%. Men bare frem til kl 20 på ukedager, 18 på lørdager, og ikke på søndager for da må vi prise Herren. På søndager får vi bare kjøpe lettøl (opptil 2.75%) i dagligvarebutikker som er under 100m^2.

Hell yeah you can blame the people. They chose to use those platforms, and they choose to stay with them as they grow ever shittier. They’re the ones enabling platforms like reddit.

Reading reddit and now kbin and lemmy about stories like this one makes it easy to see how socialist regimes so often turn to authoritarianism.

Followed. Don’t let me down!

That’s just the start my dude. Once we disregard insignificant values like human rights and personal freedom, solving the issue of other people making problematic choices becomes trivial.

Imagine all the crime we would prevent if we just locked up anyone who earns less than say 50k euros.

I disagree it’s a media thing. It has been covered. It’s just not an unusual story so people don’t share it as much.

Now billionaires dying on a submarine will get shared plenty. People love those stories. So naturally, you’ll see more about it.

Idk. That always seemed like a classic redditor thing to do: giving money to redditcorp just to spite some stranger.

But then again, the admins are very petty and juvenile. Huffman especially, going so far as to ghost-edit user’ comments.
