When someone would ask a good question that you also wanna know the answer to, but then all the "answers" were just jokes bc everyone wanna get upvotes. I dont really mind jokes but those times it was a bit sad, then sometimes no one would answer for real bc i guess they see 10 replies and assume surely one of them is real already.

Also repost bots.

And apple vs samsung feuds.

And sometimes looked like whenever some people try to organize action or protests, comments just spamming that "protests do nothing" or "voting does nothing," or "what is this gonna do," not suggesting any other solution either, almost like trying to encourage apathy? Or discourage action. Sometimes i wondered if those were bots.

Also the r/wooosh when someone didn't understand a joke. .-.

SAME its happened on Reddit where I would have a back and forth w someone where we disagreed but it was respectful, and then in the middle of it I'd notice the other person's comments being -1 even new ones. Meaning someone who isnt in the convo would start downvoting the other person, and I'd be like 'what if they think I did it? What if that damages a mutual understanding they were close to reaching? What if that turns them off from considering a different point of view bc they assume I'm doing it and that I'm hostile?' Then sometimes I'd be like "sorry someone is downvoting you its not me"

I rlly feel like 2023 is a year of a lot of things coming to light. Not just because of this but there was some stuff that happened earlier in the year and i got the impression that that'd be the 'theme' for this year (it feels like since 2020 every year has a 'theme' in some way.) This isnt super related tho but i feel like if there was any doubt that these companies are profit driven and WILL put that above user experiences, even if only for pennies, is largely been confirmed this year.

So when they said they respect users right to protest what they actually meant was that they dont. got it.

Better yet: "this question has been answered here <link to old question, answer does not work/doesnt apply or work anymore>"

Bc not all of them know how. some people just started magazines bc they were told "is there no magazine for that thing u like? Just make it yourself!" which doesnt necessarily mean they know how to moderate a community or even do custom CSS.

If the sub were private that time, wouldnt it have prevented him from being able to delete the comment in there in the first place (bc he wouldnt be able to see them when its privet?) In this case he was able to see them i guess because he was able to delete them specific. But am not sure

It barely went down then gone basically back up... this is like those articles who say "people are FURIOUS about blah blah" and then it's only one tweet with no likes or retweets someone saying "i kinda dislike blah blah"

Don't download it just to try! It has trackers be careful. Is better not to ever download it really.

This is a good point. Because even websites which replaced others, oftentimes the older one is still there. Like even Digg still alive after Reddit got more popular. Some people say Tumblr's dead but its really not especially for specific interests like games. The success of you isnt based on the failure of someone else, and its important to remember and not become cross because reddit still has users. Especially its been only like 10 days and a lot have already gone onto other sites.

Im commenting before reading: I wonder if traffic'll go up a lot from r/place tomorrow. I dont plan to participate know some ppl even who are staying away from Reddit plan to participate in r/place to put a protest message. But what I wondered if Reddit trying to ensure the mothly activity for June look the same as other months so the dip was not so noticeable. But how much does activity usually increase when r/place happened before? (If at all)

But ik also some ppl said theyre leaving Reddit June 30th, so maybe itll look different then.

I dont wanna give them traffic so i just trying to avoid going at all on reddit
