There are a huge amount of redditors these days who have no idea old reddit ever existed and the first time they heard of 3rd party apps was when Reddit announced they were pricing them out of existence. Naturally, a lot of those people are going to become mods now and their ignorance about fundamental aspects of the site is glaring.
This is only tangentially related but I started using reddit 13 years ago and the userbase has become increasingly unrecognizable in recent years. But what makes me truly feel like a dinosaur is seeing six month old accounts refer to reddit as “an app”… It’s bizarre to me that so many people’s exposure to reddit is limited to the worst way to possibly use the platform (the official app).
we have plenty of horrible people who are cops, and we have plenty of good people who are cops that turn to blind eye because they prioritize their lives over the minorities the bad cops are being s*** heads to. any truly good people that would be willing to turn in bad cops end up being ostracized and leaving service. So all we end up with are bad cops and indifferent cops.
Lemmy absolutely has good content and good comments, but you can get to the end where there’s no more.
That’s what Reddit was like 12 years ago when I joined. Frankly, I’ll take the higher quality community here on Lemmy over the endless scrolling potential and lowest common denominator discussions on modern Reddit.
It could have been politically perilous for DeSantis to be photographed with Biden overlooking storm damage now as the nominating race intensifies.
My god republicans are so childish. Imagine being such a temperamental idiot that you can’t be trusted to look at a photograph of a Governor meeting the President without it somehow changing your vote.
