I’m just your average Canadian wolf. I’m a siren enthusiast and railfan as my main hobbies. I run the Civil Defense Sirens Wiki, and am working on restoring a few vintage sirens (such as a FS&S Model L and a rare Sterling Siren MOD. F) as well as a 1970s Safetran mechanical crossing bell.

Should’ve become an engineer instead.

Thankfully, if the water pressure is enough to crush the steel hull of a submarine, then you'd be obliterated before you could even think about it. That's probably the best way to go in such a situation...

Who downvoted this? Conservatism has always been an ideology that's opposed to progress, democracy and freedom. It holds back society to preserve tradition and "family values" while promoting xenophobia, bigotry, and unquestioned submission to authority. The most conservative states in the United States are also some of the poorest, with the lowest standards of living, and also the most backwards. It isn't much different in other countries. The Nazis were conservative. Islamic countries with Sharia Law are conservative. And right now, American Conservatives are trying to implement a Christian-flavoured Sharia Law.

Have you not been paying attention to what's been going on? The protests have done serious damage to Reddit's reputation, the viability of its IPO, and is causing a significant drop in the number of users. Not to mention the loss of content creators and moderators who are necessary for the site to function. The protests are intentionally making the site unusable to bore and drive out those who are reasonable, and leaving only those who shill for and lick the boots of Spez and the rest of the incompetent administration team. And without content to consume, those people will leave as well.

Words mean nothing to fascists, they want you dead regardless if you're not considered to be one of them. Anyone who is "different" or an "other" is a target for those fucks.

Great job, Estonia! Glad to see more progress in the world!

Well, well. If it isn't the consequences of their shitty, abhorrent behaviour! Here's hoping to a long, long prison sentence for these fucks.

Yeah, that's literally the entire point. If the subs are unusable, site traffic falls, Huffman makes less money and looks worse to the investors, and people find better alternatives like here.

It's an inherently self-destructive, unsustainable ideology. None of them think that they'll become a victim of their own ideology until the Gestapo knocks on their door.

Are there any Reddit refugees spending more time on Lemmy than Reddit?

I am theoretically switching over from Reddit to Lemmy. Finding myself spending more time on Lemmy than on Reddit. Maybe it's because I am limited to using the desktop and can't aimlessly browse Reddit on my iPhone. Of late, the only subreddits I cared for were on sports and their matchday threads and r/watches. I found myself...

I haven't used Reddit for more than 5 minutes since the blackout. The site clearly has absolutely zero interest in changing their terrible decisions, and they've shown their hand to everyone. I'm fully moved onto the Fediverse, and I feel all the better for it. I'd been using RIF since 2019, and I refuse to use the stock Reddit app. The community here is wonderful.

There's definitely some hardcore shilling and astroturfing in a lot of subs where blackouts and John Oliver memes have become the norm. People with no posting history, brand new accounts and low karma accounts have flooded in to insult the mods and attack the protest.

Reminds me of Hans Island, where there was a longtime border dispute between Canada and Denmark over a tiny island off of Newfoundland. They would each take each other's flag and replace it with their own, as well as a well known alcoholic beverage from each country. It was also settled peacefully, due to the Russian invasion of Ukraine.

Snowpix,

They agreed to just split the island in half as the border, so now Canada and Denmark share a border.

I got a MASSIVE headache. How's your day going so far?

Not well, things have fallen off a cliff with my girlfriend and I feel dead inside. I hope everyone else's day is going a lot better and I wish mine was too.

Thanks, man. I really appreciate it

Always used RIF, the stock Reddit app has always been unusably terrible.

I'm referring to the comments section on the post he linked to, where half the comments are tankies trying to defend the actions of the admins who were banning users and calling them racist for criticizing the CCP/Kremlin.

Snowpix,
@Snowpix@yiffit.net avatar

Apologies for not being clearer!

Snowpix,
@Snowpix@yiffit.net avatar

I never said anything about that person, your copy/paste comment is not relevant to what I said. I don't hate the devs, I said the comments section of the post that was linked to is a dumpster fire of tankies and genocide apologists.

Snowpix,
@Snowpix@yiffit.net avatar

Then why are you replying to me...?

Snowpix,
@Snowpix@yiffit.net avatar

They know they're acting like dicks, they're openly proud and revel in it and it's a core, fundamental part of who they are. Hateful bigots such as them don't have any interest in changing who they are or improving their behaviour, they will just shift the goalposts and double down every time they are challenged. It's been proven time and time again that they are not looking to be reasonable.

"JAQing off", as I've seen it be referred to. It's always in bad faith.

Basically playground bullies who never matured beyond that mentality.

Animated child porn. Absolutely fucking revolting that they allow that.
