Yeah i agree. It was a very sad thing. And even worse to make light of when you consider the number of people who become imprisoned for minor things or even wrongly. If prison rpe is so prevalent as Reddit jokes made it seem, it wouldn’t only happen to people who those making the jokes believe ‘deserve it’ (which, also, is awful to think about rpe.) I remember learning in class about David Milgaard, and he wrote about his experiences, including that violation. I wonder if those who joked “they’ll love (random young guy in publicfreakouts video) in prison” even know or care how awful r*pe really is. It’s really something that should be prevented.

When someone would ask a good question that you also wanna know the answer to, but then all the “answers” were just jokes bc everyone wanna get upvotes. I dont really mind jokes but those times it was a bit sad, then sometimes no one would answer for real bc i guess they see 10 replies and assume surely one of them is real already.

Also repost bots.

And apple vs samsung feuds.

And sometimes looked like whenever some people try to organize action or protests, comments just spamming that “protests do nothing” or “voting does nothing,” or “what is this gonna do,” not suggesting any other solution either, almost like trying to encourage apathy? Or discourage action. Sometimes i wondered if those were bots.

Also the r/wooosh when someone didn’t understand a joke. .-.

I’d like to say that I’ve seen comment of yours about language before and I want to say I really respect this. I know for me some words are harder to say in English (like rural - though I have practiced! But atm when I say sounds a bit like roool lol) and before seeing on Reddit, I wouldn’t have thought that conversate isn’t considered a word by so many! It doesn’t seem so wrong to me. And it helps to know there are people in the world like you who wouldn’t just be disgusted by the difference.

I feel like it might show them that doing nice things is a way to get attention. Maybe that’ll encourage them to do nice things. Is probably more favourable than influencers that teach doing mean things is ok because it’s on camera or it’s funny or just a joke, and that being mean is a way to get attention. Though its important for children to know that attention isnt everything.

SAME its happened on Reddit where I would have a back and forth w someone where we disagreed but it was respectful, and then in the middle of it I’d notice the other person’s comments being -1 even new ones. Meaning someone who isnt in the convo would start downvoting the other person, and I’d be like ‘what if they think I did it? What if that damages a mutual understanding they were close to reaching? What if that turns them off from considering a different point of view bc they assume I’m doing it and that I’m hostile?’ Then sometimes I’d be like “sorry someone is downvoting you its not me”

Everyone, on kbin u can see who boosted , downvoted/reduced, or upvote/favourited any comment by pressing “more” then “activity”. For posts it’s at the bottom of the comment section

Just say youre doing whatever it is youre doing. Like “relaxing, staying home” (? If the field is at your home? Or is there no field and that was a joke lol) I’m not from or in the U.S.A. and if someone asked (online) I’d probably just say “just staying home I don’t live in the U.S.A. .” (But since you’re in the U.S.A. ofc u dont need to say the second part.)

I didnt know that was true. Some famous people ive seen called really attractive dont have perfectly symmetrical faces. In fact for some of them its not too hard to notice the asymmetry but theyre still really attractive… i think the amount that symmetry comes into play might not be as high as other stuff like the shape/size of features, if at all. but ya.

Also for the hair thing i think is just bc some hairstyles look cuter than others depending on the person. Not necessarily middle part for everyone tho is not bad.

One time i think r/darkhumor did a while ago like make random people mods (or is it r/darkjokes ??) and… yea lol

Ive heard ppl say stuff like “oh that animal doesnt feel pain it’s not intelligent” but idk i always just assume the animal has feeling and could be hurt… so thats why i havent been able to kill bugs. (Bc you can see their eyes and stuff! Theyre alive and everything.)

I think is just that it depends on the person, like some ppl might be less open than others bc thats just how they are whether or not they were ND. Maybe thats just how hise personality is or how his traits manifest

This is a good point. Because even websites which replaced others, oftentimes the older one is still there. Like even Digg still alive after Reddit got more popular. Some people say Tumblr’s dead but its really not especially for specific interests like games. The success of you isnt based on the failure of someone else, and its important to remember and not become cross because reddit still has users. Especially its been only like 10 days and a lot have already gone onto other sites.

Now that i read it: i saw some ppl here wonder about bots posting comments or maybe downvoting, bc of apparently a lot of comments being against the protest suddenly more than before? And more downvotes on comments about it? If really bots are being used for this, will that also contribute to the traffic metric like a normal user would?

But that said im not sure if theyre bots, but i did see some people mentioned that they thought there’s some false accounts speaking on Reddit’s side.

Im commenting before reading: I wonder if traffic’ll go up a lot from r/place tomorrow. I dont plan to participate know some ppl even who are staying away from Reddit plan to participate in r/place to put a protest message. But what I wondered if Reddit trying to ensure the mothly activity for June look the same as other months so the dip was not so noticeable. But how much does activity usually increase when r/place happened before? (If at all)

But ik also some ppl said theyre leaving Reddit June 30th, so maybe itll look different then.

Thats a big one i think. Iirc people would use an extension (or maybe a 3rd party app?) to block those users that commonly repost things and for a period of time i saw people saying their feed changed a lot on Reddit just from that. Tho Idk if thatd change much lately bc a lot of reposts I saw before coming here were from new account that were bots tryna build karma :/

This is kinda random but till know i always saw “camaraderie” which i guess is more of a French influence spelling, but TIL comradery also an allowed way to spell it! Also ya I agree w you PLUS there seems to be less bots than Reddit atm

There are less reposts bc its newer and bc there is a lot less bots
