  • See, I really don’t need all those people to leave Reddit and appear over here.

    I’m fine if Reddit keeps being what Reddit has become over the years, and all the angry, toxic, trolling, shit posting people stay over there as well.

    I’m fine with a much smaller, much friendlier community.


  • I think the best case scenario for a place like this one here is of people stop thinking about Reddit at all.

    It’s kind of breaking up after a long relationship: as long as you’re still thinking about what your ex is doing right now, you’re not over the relationship.

    I think this place will find its groove once people will have stopped comparing features, communities, apps, etc. to how things worked or looked like on Reddit, and once people will have completely stopped caring about whatever may or may not be going on over at Reddit.



  • Otherwise why would businesses pay to host interesting content for free?

    See, I think that’s the problem.

    Wikipedia is one of the all-time great projects on the internet, and it keeps chugging along all without forcing miserable ads on its users or charging them a subscription fee or selling their data to the highest bidder.

    And their donation drives are perfectly fine, and I’m perfectly willing to give them some money every now and then as long as they’re asking for what is needed to keep the site up and running.

    Maybe not everything should be run as a for-profit business, with an overriding goal of monetizing clicks and maximizing profits?






  • Isn’t it weird that we live in a world with fake plants that are mass produced to the degree that many of us recognize them in a photo, that the table has fake distressed wood, that the floor is fake wooden paneling?

    So many things have become attainable because of mass production, but isn’t it weird that we live in a world where these things exist? Where you can walk into somebody’s home in s different country, on a different continent, and go “yeah, i have the same thing at home?”
