Good. Now, extending this logic, if I have ZERO WATCH HISTORY of shorts videos on my account, then... STOP CLOGGING MY SUBSCRIPTION FEED WITH SHORTS!!!!!!!!!

Oh man... this takes me back.

My grandpa used to always say to us kids, "I'm going to go upstairs to have sex with your grandmother".

I'm sure they are bad, because general corporation and enshittification cycle, but when someone consistently mentions, "a single tweet" or something like that that they represent as purely innocuous (but without any explanation or link to source), gets my suspicious radar WAY up...

On purpose.

Only clearer by the day that this was all an exercise to intentionally kill Twitter to the benefit of billionaires, fascists and other extremists.

Twitter existed as a relatively free and open public space to communicate, organize and assemble to take actions for and against things at scale before musk (e.g. The Arab Spring, a terrifying moment for the Saudis especially - the second largest shareholder behind musk).

When people collectively laughed at elon and his cringe, inbred, emerald boy antics or his humiliating divorce and other routine failures, Twitter was the bullhorn.

Now elon and his desperate far right Toadies will work to try to rewrite reality so they can eventually have this conversation:

"Twitter? What's a Twitter? Wait, are you talking about blork? A bird? No, blork's logo is a dinosaur with chainsaw arms... and everyone wants to be his best friend... and it's against the law to divorce him... and he's cool... and..."

What an everlasting tool history will remember you as, elon. If they remember you at all, it will be to laugh at you - you'll never outrun that.

Just realized that the other day.

I had initially intended to feel it out and honor the blackout from 12-14, then figured, "I'm here now, might as well ride out the month if Reddit isn't responding in any meaningful way to the community's requests" and now I think I'll just be in the fedi apps for the foreseeable future.

It's different here, but it hasn't been a struggle and it gets better and better with time. Feels nice to not support inhumane and user-hostile endless corporate greed.

How is a rant about billionaires and greed ever a thing to shy away from? The class war and it's associated wealth inequality/endless growth mentality are essential drivers to the climate change problem that's keeping you up at night. You can't disconnect the two if you actually want the problem addressed.

Try not to link if you can, just screenshot or copy text. Don't need to drive any traffic to that pit of despair.

"upgrades" "soon"

Anything to say about the timing of this announcement, Reddit? Goons.

[-] Snapz@beehaw.org 25 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Also, remember the threat that Reddit presented to capitalism's status quo around the height of antiwork and GME.

If Reddit falls, it will be on purpose (by the people running/funding Reddit. Same as the 180 of Twitter as a somewhat legitimate forum - Twitter being a key organizing tool during the Arab Spring (with the Saudis being the largest investor in Twitter behind elon of course).

Billionaires do each other favors to keep the class war in balance.

This was a very illuminating view from another post

Hey there, friend :)

I just wanted to mention to you directly that you are a human being and you have choices here.

First acknowledging that you do need to stay employed of course and I don't blame you, as the worker, for helping Reddit during this moment. But there are these few moments each day at your work where you can make small, deliberate decisions on behalf of your fellow human beings over hollow corporate furtherance.

Just do a bit less each day. Forget to send an email here and there. Copy the wrong "Debbie" or "Todd" in that email that you do send - honest mistake. Forget to ban that mod you are asked to ban, or forget one in the group. If you're feeling bold, get off of your work machine and reach out to those mods on a dummy account with a heads up.

Again, not you're fault as an individual either inn a broken system, but you probably have small opportunities every day to help the world and hurt Reddit a bit. Embrace those opportunities.

We believe in you.

So far I'm only using Jerboa on Android, but I imagine some of you are working hard to stand up new experiences? Would be especially interesting to know of apps being developed by any of the Reddit 3rd party devs that are being displaced by Reddit's surging greed.

These definitely sound like the actions of a company that is in no way threatened at all not even a little bit.
