A lot of users on Reddit have an intellectual security. They know that they actually know nothing about anything but treat their opinions as if they’re factual and insightful takes on issues and situations they likely never have experience or knowledge in. So they apply that, while looking at Google on the side or thumbing up other threads with similar situations to gather a response.

There’s nothing to be afraid of with saying ‘I don’t know’ but that doesn’t exist in their vocabulary, so rather than saying that, they demonstrate how little they actually know. And when confronted and contested by people who do know, that insecurity comes out and they flip into being a pretentious shit mongerer who’s got to now antagonize everyone around them in any way, because their insecurity is beaming for everyone to see.

They can’t handle anyone who’s more educated than they are. I guess they got to put that GED into use somehow.

It’s because of shit like this, I’ve had a document containing all passwords and accounts stashed away.

I’m going to copy and paste, fuck anyone thinking I’m going to manually enter their shit.

Can vouch, it’s the same for all three of the Samsung phones I have.

Wow, talk about someone who didn’t really read the article.

It’s been stated that they made a department that specifically assesses homeless people and help get them to services that they need.

I was a frequent Kbin.social user and I miss it. But also, you have to move on when the end is reached for the foreseeable future. One of the strengths of the Fediverse, is that you can make an account on something like MBin and still interact with Lemmy instances as if you were registered on Lemmy. Anything that makes me use one account and supports cross-platform is a major plus in my book.

Oh and uh maybe some of those running Lemmy, i.e mods, are kind of scummy so I don’t want to be at their mercy if I was just registered to Lemmy.

How’s it feel, Russia?

I just hope the russians that aren’t pro-putin are treated better than the russians did to any ukranians over the cities and land they’ve taken.

Not going as planned, eh, Putin?

Maybe he should consider quitting life. Because what he did will follow him forever. Shouldn’t have been in the Olympics to begin with.

I disagree. The Reddit community at large is a bunch of spiteful shitposters who’ll spin anything and everything you put infront of them. They’ve done this for years.

It is the worst place for anyone with mental instability issues to frequent or seek advice in. Mainly because as we all know, Spez doesn’t give a shit about anyone’s privacy so anyone can just comb through your profile and stockpile ammo from you. Things you wouldn’t tell anyone else - now it’s in their hands. Information you thought was “safe” - now they know.

There are other places out there that are more knowledgable and credible than Reddit pretends to be. Plus, they care about privacy. Like there’s a suicide forum out there that will not let anyone outside, who hasn’t registered anyways, to view the contents of the forum. Does Reddit do that? No, not even if you’re a subscriber!

I don’t see a lot of dietitians, therapists, nutritionists, psychologists .etc spending all of their hard work to get the credentials to be where they want to be, just so they can offer sound and legitimate advice on a platform that doesn’t give a single shit.

Don’t underestimate Reddit coomers. They gots to coom and they’ll pay to coom.

Nah, they’re still out there in other forms. Some other people, have archived the SWF files (like StickDeath’s) on Internet Archive.

I just miss going to the actual sites to view them in. I was going to say that Joe Cartoon was the last beacon of that but if you go there, it’s just YT videos all decorated around the site’s design. It’s not the same.

We were seeing the warning signs already by the amount of bots and spammers who were taking over abandoned instances. They just posted a lot of garbage that filled up everywhere they went. And there was almost nobody there to deal with them. Ernest being out of action for prolonged periods didn’t help this.

I really hated to see kbin social get mistreated this way considering it was my true alternative since Lemmy got mostly bombarded with former Reddit users that took that over and made it their own.

Kbin social is a learning lesson that if you’re unable to maintain something due to personal problems, it is time to hand over the reigns. Ernest did do that but I’m not really sure if the person running it now knows what to do.
