I'd be happy to be wrong, tbh.

Nice to see him personally eat shit, but it won't change anything substantially. This bubble is bigger than one douchebag.

If your goal is just "moar posts", then sure, there's no problem, but it will also subsume the original (and imo better) form of this comm as people who just see it as another meme community post low effort images for the attention. I don't think that's worth losing for more content, but for some people it will be.

Not only has it only been one week since the US midterms, the newly elected reps aren't even in office yet. Maybe learn how things work before slinging shit about something you clearly don't understand.

Filtering won't help much if the community just posts images, and when image posts get hundreds more votes than the traditional text posts, that's what will get posted more and more, letting the front page influence what "fits" here instead of the topic of the community.

*Bruce Campbell busts through the wall*

And if the dm's not pronouncing it YEAH-GUH, they're doing it wrong.

it's nice when the title text is setup to a joke, with the content (text or image) being the punchline. I personally try to come up with my own punchline before checking the description, so the format really works out.

This is the best form of this community, imo. I still think images are bad even in the post body, but at least it'd stem the meme-ification of the posts. The main problem I see building is that image posts are easy and popular on the front page, where votes are given regardless of community, and it won't take much attention seeking to leave this community a shell of what it was.

Being promiscuous has nothing to do with being a rapist piece of shit. Rape and sexual assault are about power, not "thinking with your dick".

Right, because the only alternative is reverse engineering professional hardware. /s That's seriously what you think? No wonder you feel "compromise" is your best option. Good luck with that.

You're acting like it's the only option, but it's not. You don't need to lock yourself into a walled garden. You don't need to buy into a sunk cost fallacy. Even participating a little perpetuates and reinforces the bullshit you're complaining about, and they're never gong to suddenly give in to the way things should be. Stop letting these companies hold what you want hostage, dictating how you view your options.

Yes, because still giving them money is what will fix things 🙄

No idea who's the bigger asshole here, but it reminded me of a funny bit from years ago.

Radio communication between US and Canadian seamen -

Americans: Please divert your course 15 degrees to the North to avoid a collision.

Canadians: Recommend you divert YOUR course 15 degrees to the South to avoid a collision.

Americans: This is the Captain of a US Navy ship. I say again, divert YOUR course.

Canadians: No. I say again, you divert YOUR course.

Americans: This is the aircraft carrier USS Lincoln, the second largest ship in the United States' Atlantic fleet. We are accompanied by three destroyers, three cruisers and numerous support vessels. I demand that YOU change your course 15 degrees north, that's one five degrees north, or countermeasures will be undertaken to ensure the safety of this ship.

Canadians: This is a lighthouse. Your call.

That's...dumb.

Wait. I thought the whole fem-malfoy thing was a fuck you to HP terfs. What about it is appealing to conservatives?

Ok?

Disagreeing with you is not a "right wing talking point". Talking about the subject of a post is not "obsessing" over them. You're focusing so hard on finding enemies where there are none, over things that don't matter. These people agree with you 90% and all you've done in this thread is treat them like shit and accuse them of things that never happened. That's a seriously misguided way to build a movement.

Stop obsessing over one person

You posted the article about them. Now you're getting pissy about users voicing their own opinion on them?

Lol. "If you don't use the overhyped new product that's ruining our main product, you can't use anything." Tech companies have always been..."unusual" in their reasoning, but this is another level of illogical.

Actually? Yeah. Most people don't use that word correctly, but this fits.

You not appreciating someone reaching out a part of themselves to others doesn't make it lesser. That is something that makes the world better, not worse. More people should be so brave.
