It’s one misguided poster spamming the shit out of a bunch of instances, but this post itself seems to imply a more widespread problem.
What are you trying to achieve with this post? Would you like to spark conversation about this particular person’s crusade ? Or are you the umpteenth poster this month complaining about content referencing Reddit?
Honestly, the bitching about the bitching about Reddit is becoming pretty fucking tiresome, imho. Why are we talking about this? Why did you make this post? Why not just downvote that asshat’s content and move on? It doesn’t contribute, you allegedly don’t care, why post to complain about complaints?
I get it - complaints about complaints, the ‘Inception’ of discourse, right? 😄 My aim was less ‘moan-fest’, more ‘awareness-raising’. But I see how it could have come off as one more tiresome rant. Point taken.
Downvoting? Sure, it’s a tool, but it feels like trying to empty an ocean with a bucket. As a community, can’t we aim higher? Maybe introduce more efficient levers? Let’s not just ‘downvote and move on’, let’s ‘upvote and move up’. Let’s brainstorm and pull this platform to greater heights.
Not to mention, as long as the post in question is in a relevant community, downvoting it out of annoyance feels weird to me. That is not what the buttons are for. I've seen several posts I didn't personally like, but not wanting to see them doesn't make them worthless to anyone else and all those are communities are for generalized topics.
Guy just needs to get it into his head how far-reaching federation is and maybe go for a run or something
But super-honestly, the bitching about the bitching about the bitching is worse. Why did you make this comment? Why not just downvote that asshat’s content and move on? It doesn’t contribute, you allegedly don’t care, why comment to complain about complaints about complaints?
We can do this as many times as you’d like, you still won’t have made a point.
Ok but even more super-honestly, the bitching about the bitching about the bitching about the bitching is worse. Why did you make this comment? Why not just downvote that asshat’s content about that other asshat’s content and move on? It doesn’t contribute, so why comment to complain about complaints about complaints about complaints?
We should not do this as any more times probably…also google en passant.
Dude thinks that a valid complaint about an annoyance validates the annoyance. It’s an ages old internet trope. Similar to the “I won because you don’t respond to me anymore!”
Ahh. The ol’ bitching about bitching response. This would be so much more effective had it not been pointed out long ago that this is also effectively bitching.
Thus the loop can never be broken.
You see… You’re bitching about bitching about bitching. So either you admit to being just as obnoxious, or you admit that a valid complaint about an annoyance- doesn’t validate the annoyance.
The complaint isn’t valid, you ignore a thousand stupid things you don’t care for on the Internet every day and have the tools and capacity to ignore this one too, so why not ignore it instead of bitching about a solved problem?
Sorry, I don’t see any solved problems here. All I saw was someone bitching about someone bitching about someone bitching- which is essentially highly hypocritical.
We can agree to disagree and both move on. We said what we felt the need to.
That’s what I was gonna say, the blackout ended on the 14th and then spez did his ama so I feel like that might’ve been the push people needed to make the change.
Was that around the time of the spez AMA? Maybe that was a tipping point for a lot of people - the various protests had been completely ignored and admins tripled-down.
There’s a small, wild-growing apple tree in my town. It’s there since I remember. Its fruits are small, not particularly good looking, but they are the sweetest, most delicious apples I’ve ever eaten.
What if herr Klaus was Barbie’s real father and Barbie had to invent Barbieworld and her alter ego perfectly happy girl to escape from the abuse from her father and all the horrible things she must have seen and heard during his career in the SS.
It would’ve been quite the plot twist when it was revealed that Barbieworld was all an insane fantasy world totally in her head and in real world she was catatonic in an insane asylum whilst in her mind she lived inside that fantasy.
We adopted a rescue too. He’s a blue-point himalayan…I think? Absolutely gorgeous creature I call Totoro after the mythical creature he resembles.
But it’s clear he has had a hard life. Frost bite around the ears, a broken sternum that appears to have healed on its own, and an incurable FIV infection that went into his gums requiring all his teeth to be removed.
Fortunately for us, all of the initial expenses including neutering and vaccines were covered by a vet school who were using him as a test patient for students. He is still a little on the expensive side, but we haven’t been hit with any earth-shattering bills yet, so I feel I can contribute a modest amount towards your gofundme. Good luck with Pippy!
Our rescue is great! Most loving creature I’ve ever known. He craves human companionship even more than food.
I will fly out to where this person lives. I will rent a car at the airport and, using Waze, will drive to their house. And then…I will stand on the sidewalk across the street from them while glaring. Glaring AND scowling with disapproval.
