That’s very true, for now.

At this moment Reddit is existing on its former reputation. There are a host of like internet megalithic platforms that are now not even distant memories. Once they outlive their former utility they fade pretty quickly. Think of MySpace, Friendster and Yahoo Groups. Even Facebook is circling the plughole, but it may take a while before disappearing due to its former dominant position.

Is Reddit still a thing? I wasn’t aware?

I thought that it had evolved into a bot parliament.

In these times, I stopped saying that things can’t happen.

Sounds like an automatic pardon to me.

It’s not like these guys experience consequences.

Isn’t that what he voted for?

We have to start adopting more accurate terminology for demographics. Most boomers are in their 70s and 80s. The ‘boomer’ shortcut has outlived it’s usefulness. I’m a ‘young’ boomer at 68.

I saw a lot of these so-called boomers at J6. Except that they were in their 30s and 40s. Boomers ain’t scaling walls no more.

He eats street vendors?

That’s almost as bad as hotdogs.

You can’t open a damn thing without getting bombarded by ads. Corporations own the internet now.

“We value your privacy and security, but please provide every tiny piece of personal data, including when you had your last shit”.

Yep, my account was 14 years old and I got banned for the most innocuous post that I thought that it was a joke. Don’t miss Reddit at all. It’s like getting kicked out of a fire.

I wonder? Just before I was banned, I used a third party app to scrap 14 years of my data and delete it all. Not long after that I was banned for some truly innocuous post.

I don’t get how they hate violence when I was last there it was full of drone videos blowing bits of Russians I to the air.

If only we knew the cause of it?

Oh well…

I don’t know if a bunch of guys in white lab coats are actually worried about shooters? Possibly they are just pointing out the danger?

I think that they might be actually worried about the climate making the world uninhabitable.

The answer is always sexual intercourse.

Not sure if you got my suggestion.

You won’t be commuting, you will be dodging killer drones with Burger King logos.

The billionaires are now richer than many nation states.

I guess the next development is that they will start to go to war against each other over commercial advantage.

Guess who will be in the front line as part of the Great Amazon-SpaceX War?

Not Jeff Bezos or Elon Musk.

But can you get books to read on it? I suspect that these gadgets will get locked out of the market by the thugs.

“Statement”.

I just watched a doco on the Nuremberg trials today in Netflix - by way of coincidence. These guys were the GOATs at instilling a sense of justice and fairness. That was their prime and only job. Guess what, they also celebrated the bad guys deaths. Especially the really bad guy, but also the henchmen like Goring (who topped himself).

I’ll not keep on arguing because we are both sick of the topic. I just don’t understand the sacred seperation between permitting calling someone an arsehole when they are breathing, but the moment they stop breathing you can’t say ‘fantastic’. Great news.

But as you say, them be the rules, I guess?

I get the rules. What I don’t get is that most moderators think that their job is entirely one of enforcement. It’s not, it is moderating where necessary, which also means taking no action if none is required.

Which is pretty much what you seem to be doing, to be fair. That’s a good thing. It’s a human’s role to determine whether a line has been crossed or if they might just be dancing along the middle.
