Yeah people act like Reddit has some inevitable death date because Digg did, but the reality is we are getting further and further away from a time in which a big social media entity actually DID die. I mean people say Facebook is old and washed but it’s still growing in users and has been non-stop for over 15 years. The only one that has died since the end of Digg was Vine, and that was partially just because its owners didn’t really care about its fate anymore.
I would actually stop using Reddit if they did this. New Reddit is intolerable.
Very good point-a way of connecting communities on Reddit that seems fairly innocuous but is actually a massive means of the “transmission” of users between communities, allowing users to find communities they like quicker and thus making them more likely to stay.
Very good point that I didn’t think of tbh.
I don’t know why you are shocked and horrified when people engage with something on their own front page?
That’s how federation works, is it not?
It’s not brigading, it’s literally right there at the top of the front page, so of course people will comment on it.
I’m sorry to be stupid but idk what a tor node is. I have tor but I don’t know what is meant by ‘running a tor node’. I also don’t know what the phrase “you can also use onion repos in your distro if supported” means. I am wondering if you can help me out? I am a noob.
The problem with Tor is that it runs sooo slowly to the point it’s pretty much unusable. For me it does, at least.
What good free VPNs are there? I was using one but then an article came out it was pretty much ran by the US government so I stopped using it as it seemed pointless. I wish there was a non-compromised free one that didn’t massively slow your internet down.

I used to be in around the top 1% of CSGO players though it took me 2000 hours so it’s not much of an achievement lol.
Probably political science just by merit of being educated in it though I wouldn’t say I am especially gifted in it as such.
I am not very good at anything lol, I just read a lot to make up for my natural stupidity. I like reading though.
To be honest I don’t understand it whatsoever I just go on chapo.chat and look at the posts on there. Now there are posts from other places which is neat. I don’t leave the site though as I don’t want to make a new account. Idk if I’m even doing it right or wrong.
I work at a chain bakery and it’s the same. Every day there’s so many sweet + savoury goods left over and they just get thrown away. It used to be allowed that you could just take them home but that got banned for…no particular reason. The managers at the place I work are really nice but I guess they’re sticklers for the rules as they don’t ignore it-which I don’t blame as apparently the loss prevention team already installed a secret camera in there (they came in overnight!) because people kept messing up the tills and they think people are stealing money. Plus I guess if they don’t get enough food waste they get suspicious. It’s a load of shit…
I am critical of China and I’ve never been attacked for it on Hexbear. It’s ok if you approach topics in good faith and have nuanced arguments rather than just “CPC evil”.
Personally I think wanting to destroy the American state as it is today and historically is actually very inclusive.
