Wow, dunno what's up with reddit these days.

I called someone an idiot, who was rightfully an idiot (on the /r/idiotsincars). And got reported and permanently suspended.

Oh well. 1 alt out of like 22 right now used up. Maybe I'll just end up trolling and blasting the rest of my alts out, cause this no-justification banning crap is way out of hand.

I've often wondered if it's a bot, but whenever I post content to /r/perl/ on , it's immediately downvoted.

My posts are upvoted nonetheless, but I find it childish someone would do this.

Stages of users:

  1. My starts up!
  2. Distrotube is a useful resource!
  3. I answered a support question on !
  4. I have nearly evangelical opinions about my distro of choice!
  5. Does Distrotube ever do anything more than run through the installer and click around?!
  6. My distro transparently supports repositories and tools from across the linux world.
  7. What is this thing?

The first approach to "warehouses", channels, rooms. Personally, I don't like the solutions seen on , but people seem to like them. And yet, the user interface is for people, not for themselves. At least to a large extent.

While reddit's layout isn't fully polished (many subreddit-related modules and pages still use the old layout), I decided to use a drop-down menu that I don't like and redesign it a bit.

You'd never know that only has an active user base which equals 4% of the global population based on how everyone is behaving towards it.

has 2.98 billion monthly users, or almost 40% of the global population.

has 2.5 billion. has 2.35 billion.

Even and are somewhere around 750 million to a billion, more than twice that of Twitter.

Twitter isn't some unassailable behemoth, it is actually quite small compared to other social media.

Does anyone know of a sub that's good for just, like, talking about whatever random fiction book you're reading?

The kinda place where you can post "bruhhhh I just read Laundry Files #4 and HOLY SHIT-" kinda, stuff. Quasi book recommendations / mini-reviews / discussions, without the weird formalism/obsessiveness that is r/books?

Yes I know there's spots for that here too, but there's the kinda talk you do in a micro-blog, and there's the kind you do in a forum, and this sort really wants for a forum.

Interesting thread:

"Let's share our salaries / title / location / XP"

"A Reddit thread where people worldwide share their positions, experience, residency, and salary".

Goodbye Reddit I guess? I have been a Reddit user for close to 17 years. 16y7mo to be exact. Today I logged in and I got the red banner that says my account is permanently suspended.

I never posted anything other than a few car pics, some game screenshots and a few comments in my Reddit life.
Never got into any discussions, never posted anything remotely against the Reddit content policy.

Never got a private message that is explaining why I got suspended (unlike it says in their article)

After my appeal, I got a basic automated message that I cannot reply, explaining that my appeal has been reviewed and it is permanent. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

I have no clue why I’m banned, and no clue if my appeal ever got reviewed by a human.

The state of social media is going in deep :burning_poop:​ My prediction is that major social media conglomerates will screw or hurt their users one way or another and people will start living in their "cyber neighborhoods" instead of their massive "cyber megapoles".

This happened to Facebook, Twitter in massive scales. Maybe this is Reddit's turn now?

If Mastodon is Twitter, Friendica is Facebook, and Lemmy is Reddit, but they're all communicating together, is there any real need to make different accounts unless we want to try out different features?

Removed all distracting apps from my phone.
Left only: telegram, books, pocket(really enjoy reading articles, thanks ) and thats all!

I still will use maps, (for unexpected questions), and etc, but i removed all social media from phone(including and ). I will use mastodon and reddit but only on my desktop.

So I want to check how it will be going after one week! May be its just small step on my way to a

Anyone who watches r/WallStreetBets can tell you this is true, but research now confirms it.

The loudest, most popular "Finfluencers" are usually terrible, and you're better off betting against them.

At around this time last year, Bed Bath & Beyond was the toast of . A few weeks ago Bed Bath & Beyond filed for bankruptcy.

This should be an important lesson, but who is learning from it?
