I feel like his comment is just setting the stage for overturning Obergefell v. Hodges. We already know that they want it overturned so this is just groundwork for the day when that happens.

Not happy with their decision but there’s nothing I can do about it.

Thanks for posting this! As a former cat host this is painfully funny.

I’d like to think he was killed for planting the marigolds next to the petunias.

Knowing what little I know of the boy, Elon probably wants to make everyone start saying, “I’m on X,” or “You can find me on X” as a puerile Ecstasy (MDMA) joke.

Of course they’ll no longer “Tweet” but instead they’ll “Xcrete”…

As previously stated on that other site, by more than a few commenters, the GOP is, “in it to win it at all costs.” That’s why Biden and the Democrats need to wake the fuck up and DO SOMETHING that demonstrates that they’re aware of this fact, and are taking steps to counteract the GOP moves.

You quoted something I didn’t say. If that’s the attitude and quality of discussion you’re looking to bring then by all means block this community from your Lemmy experience.

Drunemeton, 10 months ago

By all means feel free to post something to this community to generate the discussion you’re looking for Mike!

So far you’ve posted nothing, to any community.

Love to see so many Lemmy mentions in the comments! That’s a sure fire way to get people to give the Fediverse a try.

I tried commenting on two videos yesterday and included links to topic-related websites, and they were deleted.

I checked the TOS and they caution about including inappropriate links in replies, but those weren’t that.

It seems the channel can include links but users can’t. Haven’t tested it much past that point either.

It’s also the devs server and they have Lemmy code to write. Can’t be spending time moderating.

In an update, he said rate limits would soon increase to 8,000 for verified users, 800 for unverified and 400 for new unverified. About three hours later, he tweeted those numbers were “Now to 10k, 1k & 0.5k.”

Well that’ll fix everything!

Not a lot of this event is making sense. Yet…

I’d hazard a guess that it was a joint mission between Putin and Prigozhin to flush out potential traitors. I mean, what’s a better time to monitor communication channels when you have ‘an invading army storming the capital’ to find out who’s with/against you?

Then you send the ‘invading army’ to a Putin-controlled border country, and offer any of his soldiers that didn’t invade with him a place in your military….

I mean they sent a women’s basketball player to prison for some cannabis oil, but a guy who tried to overthrow the government gets a vacation next door? His soldier’s get the same vacation? The soldier’s that didn’t join them (why? where were they?) get jobs with the government?

Doesn’t make sense unless the ‘event’ was nothing like it appeared. A ‘Red Herring’ if you will.

The actions taken after the 1-day event speak louder to the point of what actually happened then what they’re saying in the media.

Hi everyone, Well, it has been a wild ride. I joined reddit over a decade ago, when it was still much smaller and different from today. I quickly stumbled upon /r/theoryofreddit and was fascinated by all the discussion and theories about how communities work. So when after a while mod applications opened up I applied, which was my first experience modding on reddit. My experiences there also prompted me to start experimenting with ways to make moderation easier through various user scripts and CSS hacks. This eventually resulted in a very early version of toolbox, although some earlier experiments never made it to the general public. In the decade that followed I was involved in various communities and Toolbox developed into a project that used by over 20.000 (twenty thousand) mods all over reddit. But over the past few years reddit has been moving slowly in a direction that I believe is not good for the health of many communities. So even before this whole API debacle properly started I was already burned out and tired with reddit. What I said in this post holds true even more today. I am just tired with the platform's now accelerated decline, see also this comment. So, over the past two weeks I have decided that I am not going to use reddit anymore. As a mod, I already did quit my last actual subreddit last year (/r/history). Yesterday I cleaned up a few of the smaller subreddits I was still involved as well. As a user I went through all my subscriptions and unsubscribed from all of them with the exception of /r/modnews and /r/modcoord. The last two because I'll stick around a bit for the meta stuff, certainly to see how things end up. But I think I have invested more than enough time in this platform, probably more than has been healthy at times. I want to use this post to thank everyone who has been involved with me in a mod team, involved with toolbox and all users of toolbox. "Wait, why is this posted on /r/creesch and not /r/toolbox?"

Fair question, with a simple answer. This is me saying my goodbyes for now, not strictly a toolbox announcement. While a lot of people see me and toolbox as one and the same thing, many different people contributed over the years and the project itself is not going away. I am also not going nuclear by disabling it as that would make me no better than certain admin actions in the past couple of weeks. As I said here two weeks ago. I will speak my mind, but toolbox itself has since it's inception be there for all mods to help them out. I am not going to abuse that trust we build over the years by forcing my opinion. "Why not quit reddit entirely, delete your account, be done with it?"

I thought about it. But I am not really the nuclear type. And to be completely honest, over a decade of work and effort is difficult to entirely let go. I really do dislike the direction reddit has chosen to go but I'd like to be able to check in to see if there is a shift in course. And yes, while reddit profits from the information on reddit it also is information regular people might benefit from. If I deleted my account, including scrubbing all comments my voice, over what has happened in the past two weeks (years, honestly) will also no longer be there.

I wouldn't say "lost" per se, as they are a company in business to make money.

But when your site exists because of user input, because of user moderation (done for free), you're damn well not looking at the "big picture" when all you talk about is shareholders.
