  • For me, it was APImageddon - when Christian of Apollo played out the whole story, the lies he had been told, and how he tried to negotiate and Reddit just wouldn’t budge; when he said that there was no way he could make it work, I said, “Well, looks like I’m done with Reddit.” I went to mastadon first, but I’m not a micro-blog person, so I went between Kbin and Lemmy.world. I went to Reddit a few times, spreading the word and looking for communities that made the migration but, for the most part, I didn’t look back. I tried to contribute, and when it was quiet, I touched grass and stuff. I’m now at Midwest.social now because of the piracy debacle and .world defederating with Hexbear. I still use my mastadon account from time to time. But I’m happy and only see Reddit when it shows up in searches.

    Edit: I did go back Reddit to help make pixel placing canvas (what was that thing called again?) a very special send off though. Fuck spez 4ever!





  • These problems don’t just hit the poorest individuals, although the poorest are most badly affected. Even affluent people would enjoy a better quality of life if they lived in a country with a more equal distribution of wealth, similar to a Scandinavian nation. They might see improvements in their mental health and have a reduced chance of becoming victims of violence; their children might do better at school and be less likely to take dangerous drugs.

    You see, “upper-middle class”, you can benefit too, stop voting against it!






  • And he said, ‘No, I ain’t scared, but if anything happens to me, it’s not suicide.’

    He pretty much said “I think something may happen to me and they will make it look like a suicide.”

    Unless she’s got a recording or document, the article’s title could have been, “Family friend tells reporter a story”

    Yeah, it won’t hold up in court, and neither would it if she had recorded this casual, intimate conversation between two old friends.

    Maybe, though, it’s enough to get the coroner to take another look at his death.

    I’m not any defender of corporations, by any means, but I’m not sure that I’m willing to take the word of a “close family friend” who “needed help one day” any more than some corporate HR;

    You sure have a lot more faith in corporations than I do…
