Centralization == Corruption

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 years ago

Because of my distrust of authority I like to use systems that spread it out as much as possible, I only like lemmy because it is federated.

this monster didn’t deserve to be a reddit admin, let alone to have his pronouns respected

The fact that you think something as basic as using someone's pronouns is a privilege that can be revoked on a whim is an extremely weird thing to say

reddit's corruption went crazy ~1 yr ago

Was the script you used a userscript or did it use the Reddit api?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 years ago

I wrote a post in a small sub that I was part of saying that this monster didn’t deserve to be a reddit admin, let alone to have his pronouns respected (as many were asking because he was a male who transitioned to female).

This does not put you in the good guy column as far as I'm concerned. Purposely using different pronouns than when someone's asking as an intentional means of denigrating them because you don't like them is like ground zero of stuff that is bad to do when it comes to the whole reason that pronouns exist.

I don't know anything about the situation that's a seriously bad indicator.

Created an account in alpha used it a bit but there was really no content then since the platform was still under heavy development. Eventually got a site wide Reddit ban for poking the anarchist sub too often. Those mods are assholes. 13 year old account (and all my alts) poof up in smoke.

And so now I'm here and elsewhere. Reddit ban was a great thing in the end I recommend everyone do the same.

My ADHD felt like it.
Reddit is going public.
I dislike censorship.

Because Lemmy is not filled with redditor mindset and the privacy grifters prefer to stay away from here.
