They want fascists to take it over and spread their bigotry faster. I think that's the ulterior motive when the entire world seems hell bent on boosting extreme right wing ideologies, apparently trying to push the world into the next great war.
I sound like a tinfoil hat nut writing like this, I know. I'm a lot more level-headed normally but I feel a bit hyper right now for some reason.
A "Gamer" with an anime avatar, with 6 reputation points. These types don't have the best reputation on the internet. Take their comments with a grain of salt as they might be skewed towards a certain ideology somewhat.
That said, the "we didn't know it would be restricted this much" part strikes me the most.
It's one thing to not read through everything to form informed decisions but why not listen to all those who did read and were shouting from the rooftops that this was exactly what would happen? Why not believe the evangelicals and the state legislators they gerrymandered into office when they say this is their exact intention?
The people running most large things, like reddit or countries, are idiots because people with half a brain are smart enough to see that that's not a position you want to put yourself in. Anyone who can see the enormity of the responsibility nope out a lot sooner than reaching that level of governance, and the idiots who can't see filter through.
With the submarine story, it's like a film scenario. Every detail is something unusual, and not tragic in itself. Well, depends on who you ask. There are many people who think billionaires existing is a very real tragedy, and rightly so, but I digress.
With billionaires in a comic-book-supervillain submarine lost on their way to see the Titanic wreck, you can laugh at the $30 controller, or wonder where their brains were, or if anybody looked at their financials because this also would work as a movie scenario where 4 billionaires pay someone to disappear them because they didn't pay taxes or something.
Refugee boat sinking is actual tragedy, with the added bonus of the entire western world having some level of guilt in creating. When the average, empathy having person hears about it, they feel complex emotions from sadness to guilty conscience for casually hearing about it from the comfort of their couch... It's difficult to deal with.
Is this some sort of Tucker Carlsen impersonation attempt? I see questions flowing and leading to each other without necessarily disclosing any leaning as to the stance of the commenter.
I have no idea what your stance is on any of the issues at hand, and that makes it impossible to give a meaningful response. If I engaged with each question separately and answered them, the resulting comment would still look like a bunch of half-questions because they aren't questions with a solid structure even, as they are "maybe" questions. The answer to those is almost always "maybe" too.
The site is very new and is in active development. For now, it's mostly under the hood stuff but the stability of the experience increased quite a bit since I first started a week so they must be doing it right.
I believe the owner @ernest is doing the heavy lifting by himself.
Every time she comes up it's always underlined that she is super transphobic. However, it's never been really clear to me what things she has said to acquire such a status. Whenever this is asked there is usually someone linking some two hour YouTube theory about goblin or a massive article that always feels quite tangential. If...
Most people aren't even thinking of moving to reddit alternatives. Users have a lot of power in this situation. Just move your community to Lemmy or Kbin. It's not that hard.

I got over leaving reddit for good but I'm a bit worried about the hellhole it's seemingly becoming with all the exposure it's able to give horrible ideas. I won't be surprised if it goes full fascist next week Twatter style.
Yeah. That legitimacy problem is always an important one. I keep saying the same thing to the "good" christians and muslims around me.
You might be, and are as far as I can tell, truly good people who have faith in something honestly. The name you chose for your "honest personal belief", though, gives credence to the organized hate cults you share that name with.
You get to play one videogame for the first time again. What you picking?
Okay. If you could play any videogame again for the first time, what would it be?

I don't understand why people still want to use reddit instead of moving to Lemmy or Kbin
