4chan legitimately still beats lemmy and anything else. Slap on a bunch of decent filters and it's far more entertaining and useful than both reddit and lemmy combined.

There's a type of shadowban now where your user page is still active, but your posts are constantly immediately deleted by automod.

I don't owe you or anyone else an explanation when its replying to people insistent on intentionally pegging my posts the wrong way and I'm not here to pander to you or anyone else.

Maybe it's time I got one of these. I forgot they even existed because everything just seems to be disposable floss these days. If I floss even gently my gums bleed so much I wake up with blood all through my mouth and throat. No matter how much I rinse.

I've never really flossed. Every time I go to the dentist they say I have otherwise perfect teeth and gums for my age. But I also don't drink soft drink or alcohol, smoke, eat junk food or sweets and have basically never done so. Pretty much everything I eat is organic.

I use a good electric toothbrush though, so generally it feels like it should be enough. If I floss even as gently as I can my gums just bleed like crazy and there's barely any space to move it around my teeth. If I do it at night I just wake up dried with blood all in my mouth.

EDIT: I have been thinking though about getting a water flosser or whatever they are called. At least to remove any debris the electric toothbrush missed, without (hopefully) the damage and bloody mess I get with floss string.

Karma, and assholes who intentionally try and misrepresent an OP because he wasn't eating everyone's ass in the first post.

I absolutely love Bitwarden. They've never been hacked (to my knowledge). Are super transparent. Answer support tickets extremely quickly and it only costs $1 a month to use 2FA. The extension and app are super fast, extremely well made as far as user-experience goes and I have never had a problem with them.

Tried Keepass, KeepassXC, 1password, Nordpass, et cetera. Bitwarden does it all better imo and fits my use-case perfectly.

Most of the questions I asked were pretty specific questions regarding network architecture, object orientated programming and so on. Most of the subreddits I posted in were also pretty obscure, so not the general /r/python or so on. There was about 50 or so of us mostly using the subreddit as a way to bounce ideas off each other. With not much time for idle/pointless chatter. Occasionally a few people would wander in and derail the topic but we'd usually ignore them.

I also use public Slack and the occasional Discord but it was nice to use Reddit for the most longer architecture styled posts.

I cannot fathom why anyone would use the site for 10 years and mass over 100k karma for literally any reason.

The old Reddit "Nah OP can't just be a normal dude, gotta find some way to peg this guy as an asshole because he didn't eat eat enough of the userbase ass in his OP. If I can't think of something I'll just imply that he left out some crucial piece of evidence that would expose him as asshole."

You seriously need to go back to Reddit. This site really is better off without you. The kind of attitude you carry would have you fit right in with the trolls on 4chan.

EDIT: Thanks to you I just looked to see if it's possible to block someone here and thankfully it is. I won't speak for everyone else but I can do without this kind of toxic self-righteous crap. Bye felicia.

OP self declared that he never prioritizes anyone else.

Wtf? No I did not.

People without empathy

Jesus christ Steve, you need help. I pity anyone who starts making such brazen accusations and likens a person avoiding the very kind of drama that you are insisting on dragging people into, as thought it would be some lack of empathy.

If you want to argue about being a good example in a society, how about not behaving like the perfect example of the dick you're being right now? Might want to start there mate!

You're overly hostile and anti-social. I guess we have the Reddit hivemind to thank for that kind of behaviour. Who cares if I thanked every person who answered? Do you wave to every single person who slows down when you try to cross the road? I try to, but no one is perfect. Is this menial topic the kind of hill you want to fight or die on?

Here's a great meme to describe the kind unwarranted hostility users like you exhibit.

I really hope you re-think how you engage with people here, otherwise you're just going to find yourself constantly in arguments and getting shit on.

You sound like a shitty user

Actually you do. It's not your business how some people use the internet mate. The threads I asked for help or advice, I left up so plenty of other people could find them and make use of them. I'd understand the flack if say, I deleted the threads immediately after I got my answer.

Most of them were discussion about networking and hardware. Extremely high level stuff for work. Plenty of clients have benefited massively from the work I do. Don't under estimate the importance and positive impact of asking a good question. Finally, it's not like I forced anyone to answer me. If people want to spend their time helping others, for karma or just out of boredom or whatever. That's up to them. Trying to police other people's behaviour just makes you look like a prick. Not me.

Honestly dude, you need to take that chip off your shoulder. It's your kind of instantaneously anti-social attitude that is one of the reasons why Reddit went totally down the drain mate. I came here to get away from attitude like yours. I think most of us did too.

My first shadowban I think took me about 2 months to realise why I wasn't getting any replies... I had posted numerous help topics and just started to think that Reddit wasn't that useful anymore.

Then I realised I'd been shadowbanned. I didn't even know what it was.

I guess my IP or something got flagged because generally I was never able to make an account that lasted more than a few days without getting shadowbanned. At first it was okay even, some subreddits your account was working fine. Posting in the homelab subreddits or datahoarder etc. other subs like news, worldnews etc. my comments never got any replies.

I only ever used my acc mostly to ask questions. When I got my answer, I abandoned the thread. Didn't have time for drama and I generally didn't even reply to comments except to give more info on a request.

Month-on-month it got worse. Accounts which had no right to be flagged, got shadowbanned. One day I'd be posting fine, the next. Shadowbanned.

Then I'd make another account. Different device, different IP, even from a friend's computer in another country. I realised later they'd track you through everything. If you went to threads of a person who was shadowbanned, you also got it. Ultimately I spent ages trying to have even just one account with enough karma that I could post without captcha or 10 minute delay.

I wasted months and despite how much I read about it. I could never figure out how it worked. Reading about it also felt like a waste of my time.

When reddit finally shut down the public api and the apps I was using stopped working. I ditched it immediately. Gradually I also went back to stackoverflow. Even if it takes longer to get an answer, they are so much higher quality.

Looking back, I knew reddit sucked but boy was I mad when I thought of how much time I wasted. Just because I didn't spend 7 years of my life building a 75k karma account...
