Ah, there we go. I just had to signup via Google.

Thanks for the share.

I wish I could see it!

I don’t think (or assume) you’re wrong across various examples of such, duderino, but you’re also spinning it right there in to a laughably-giant web of conspiracy (so to speak) simply to meet the needs of your hurt feelings and self-righteousness.

You and the downvoters are sinking in to the worst aspects of our natural state (tribalism), while completely whiffing on the better aspects of tribalism, which (to me?) is to recognise friends where you can see them, and not assume ‘evil’ about everyone around you.

Looking at that place now, it’s crazy that people are still putting up with the bullshit. Everyone is getting censored/banned, comments removed, threads the admins don’t like (especially anti Trump/Elon or pro-Palestine) get locked almost immediately. Reddit is literally bottom of the porta potty enshittified.

Reddit still has a lot of value for me, and I still see loads of critical comments almost every day tearing down certain topics & figures that you touch on above. If the censoring / banning were really that bad, I doubt I’d be able to read all that on a regular basis across their site.

What I learned after 12 years on reddit: the admins are Nazi sympathizers, pedo protectors, and propaganda enablers.

I think it’s probably simpler than that: 1) they’re a big social media site out to make money first and foremost, 2) they want to avoid agitating powerful figures of the day, and 3) they see their users moreso as convenient assets than individual voices who might stir up trouble for them. It’s pretty much just the corporate model of the day in a late-stage capitalist reality.

My point here is that I’d rather not buy in to and perpetuate false assumptions and false narratives. I don’t want to just assume that all their admins are really as bad as you think, when in reality many of them might just be trying to give users a fair shake. Many might in fact be ‘resisting.’

Ah, thanks.
I’m low on sleep ATM, and maybe a bit conditioned towards the usual way people bring up ‘title gore’. Well done, then.

þorny issues aside, what would your improved title be, if I may ask?

I would suggest, um, waiting, er… um… not so much…

I’m not sure, but you can count on one thing-- when the ‘rules’ are in their favor, they’ll exercise their might to the fullest. Otherwise… good luck.

…apparently as part of state and federal transportation officials’ aim to wipe “political banners” from public roadways.

“Political.” 🙄

Btw, this belongs in c/ShittyFoodPorn, OP!

It’s hard to understand exactly what your points are with such a brief, dismissive reply, but FWIW I made some critiques here and I thought the mod answered rather well.

What exactly are you responding to, may I ask? The modern concept of paganism, the community in question, that mods’ intents, or whatever the historical concept of paganism meant…?

Answering the real questions!

Unfortunately, when Lemm.ee went down early, I failed to preserve my 2-year list of subscriptions from that acct. So I’ve got a boatload of work to do trying to repopulate that list. :S

Well, dang!

A lot of the old Popeye hasn’t aged too well for me, often being on the repetitive and dull side, but this sequence is hilarious, sharp, and has aged really well IMO. So… we’re looking at a date of… Dec 19th, 1937, is it?

–> insert bark-like, high-pitched PeeWee Herman laugh! <–

Anyway, I think I lean in your general direction on this, but I’m open to the idea that it might help someone, somewhere. At least, I don’t think I’ve ever heard of this type of /c before.

If you grew up in the States, you would have learned who Franklin was somewhere in the 5th to 8th grade public schooling range, so I guess neither of those things happened in your case?

I agree with the people urging you to do your best to take care of your sublemmy once you create it. On top of that, I also feel that most types of communities need you and/or others to be motivated promoters and content creators, even if you’re just pulling ‘best of’ content from elsewhere.

So-- IMO it’s generally best to think of it as a volunteer job. And from what I’ve seen, most community founders don’t necessarily realise that, and aren’t actually up to the task, hence the # of abandoned subs across the FV (fediverse).

IME one thing that really helps with growing subscribers is that due to the current size of the FV, almost any small community posting content on a regular basis is going to be seen by a fairly large proportion of the FV via the “ALL” feed. Whereas for example, that’s almost impossible on Reddit. It really helps!
