Not saying shit's not fucked up over there right now, but is this an artist rendering? Its got what looks like artist initials at the top and I can't find this image anywhere else.

There is a write up somewhere about this but I can't find it right now...

There is a mastodon instance that bans the letter "e" https://oulipo.social/ it's basically a writing exercise and challenge.

In response, https://dolphin.town/ is born. Where you can only use the letter "e", even usernames.

Edit: found the write up! It even contains a brief interaction between users from both instances! https://interconnected.org/...

I find it especially bizarre that spez took inspiration and guidance from Musk. I can entertain the possibility of Musk intentionally driving Twitter to the ground (though he sure is taking the scenic route), but Reddit? It just seems like the rich tech bros have collectively lost their minds

Yup. Sounds like Australia. Proudly admitting they're racist, and afraid even of a symbolic gesture that has no actual power in the parliament. I'm just embarrassed that it is now official.

This dinosaur is the total embodiment of rape culture. He even has the gall to claim that is was consensual, blames "fake feminism", etc., and of course the video showed a room full of men applauding him, and a few women who just stared. Good FIFA did what needed to be done. Horrifying that Spanish FA is doubling down and threatening to sue Hermoso for defamation.

Dude really has no idea how society works. It's so fascinating to see so publicly.

This is barely even a "formality" before a massacre. Israel was looking for an excuse to go all out without any restraint and they got it. It's fucking tragic that these bastards are playing with civilians lives. Fuck both authorities.

I'm not sure if this applies in general, but government sectors probably. My brother works in engineering for infrastructure and stuff, and he always brags about how much time off he gets and work life balance etc. Of course not when some environmental disaster happens, then there are lots of shit (sometimes literally) for him to deal with

Yeah restrict AI posts. I think cuteness needs to have some notion of soul behind it to be cute and AI images are just creepy and soulless.

This feels eerily like when a woman solves a technical problem for a client, but the client refuses to understand anything she says until a male coworker steps in and say those exact same words.

I am surprised they didn't do so sooner. I would've sold everything I could right away after they're confirmed dead. There's no coming back from this, even if they had another sub.

As a POC, I am not surprised, but I was still optimistic because there was no way to vote "no" without looking like a racist cunt. Well turns out Australia has no problem with looking like a bunch of racist cunts.

It's one of my favourite ending sentence to an article ever. They quote Reddit about corrections, then added, "In the absence of corrections, then, you can assume Reddit believes none are necessary." https://www.theverge.com/...

Spez admittedly idolises Musk.

As a Hongkonger.... Fucking heartbreaking.

If that doesn't taint his idea of Musk, then nothing will.

I just look at them with pity. They are so addicted and I don't think they really bothered to know all the details. Because if you read Apollo's side of the story, it's blatant that the whole thing was designed to get rid of third party apps. Expecting small devs to come up with 20mil with a month's heads up is unreasonable no matter how you try to look at it (I don't know why they even bothered with the whole 20mil pricetag).

Also, to be honest, they're most likely teenagers who don't have an understanding of how real life works. It's evident when you see things like LPT and Showerthoughts posts getting dumber and dumber and more sex/penis obsessed.

That said, leave them behind now. I think we were hooked Reddit for its rage scrolling. It's toxic but I think we have grown out of that now that it's so broken. They can stay toxic over there. Leave your rage there too. Don't look back.

That really took longer than it should've. I would love to be a fly on the wall of the conversation that finally convinced/force him to resign.

Depends on the pet, but most cats don't travel well.

Honestly didn't expect it to be THIS kind of recession
