Reddit was never great lmaoo

It was a pedo networking tool reknowned worldwide for it's jailbate and non-consensual creepshots. These moderators received awards from admins. Then it got too much attention and got a PR workover, burning a woman CEO at the stake to satiate the gamer-fascists before becoming a bland Atlanticist CIA sockpuppet front of bland corporate posts.

At no point during this entire thing did it ever approach anything comparable to greatness

I meant the platform more than the company.

It’s my favorite format for social media… that’s why I’m on lemmy.

[–] [email protected] 52 points 1 year ago (1 children)

communism made lemmy so where does that leave us

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I guess 'a lot of free spare time in a socialized copitalism' made lemmy.

That's precious..

Are you saying you used Reddit for its jailbait etc subs? Cause Reddit was much more than it’s jailbait subs.

You’re right. Your comment was very well written, and backed up with so much evidence. I shouldn’t be questioning it.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Thank you, glad you can admit when you're wrong. It shows growth.

Lol. Google “facetious” and “sarcasm”.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I can't unfortunately. Putin doesn't allow me to use google while I spread disinformatsiya sadness

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Also you should really do the same

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It’s ok. Hard to pick up in text. An “/s” would have helped.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

If your sarcasm needs an /s it's shit sarcasm and you've got terrible timing.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Kind of validating my sarcasm buddy. The point of sarcasm it’s hard to grasp. You can leave it now.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

That's not the point of sarcasm. Do you even know your linguistics? Sarcasm has no point - No tonal conveyance really does - but if you wanna get theoretic with it the point of sarcasm is to deliver critique without the sting, or to subvert expectations and deliver a joke. There isn't a lot of methods of communication were the point of it is to be hard to understand - though some methods are of course used to carry dual meanings to different audiences.

And there's the humility again, you really are capable of growing as a person. I'm proud of you! (tone clarifier: I'm still being sarcastic)

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I’m still being sarcastic

No shit.

Dude, so sarcasm isnt meant to be got so easy, at least not by everyone. Take your own advice....LEARN.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It just seemed like you were having a hard time, so I decided to help you, because I'm such a nice guy!
Your comebacks are getting worse btw :(

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Obvious sarcasm is obvious.

How can my comebacks be getting worse when I havent put any? Only sarcasm....

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

they're really boring now :((

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Cheers for introducing me to Hexbear.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

enjoy your stay, you should probably learn about tone signifiers and other neurodivergent inclusive initiatives

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Im fine with both.

Ill try not to be so deliberately sarcastic people dont realise its sarcasm. Why dont you grow and learn that people do do this?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yeah that's totally what I meant good on ya.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

LOL. Lets not forget it was you that didnt realise I was being sarcastic and had a hissy fit over it. Are you American or Canadian? One doesnt get sarcams and one really doesnt get sarcasm.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Lets not forget it was you that didnt realise I was being sarcastic and had a hissy fit over it.

Dude, I never didn't get it, I kept the joke going. Do you still not get it?

Are you American or Canadian?

Neither

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Bamboozled even, I kinda thought the old-schools smileys would make it obvious

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Not the first time someones told me my sarcasms wrong cause they didnt get it dude. Learn. And grow.

Seriously though, will be checking out Hexbear.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I refuse to learn. My mind is perfectly smooth, free of nasty wrinkly crevices or filthy neurons firing wildly.
You should refrain from using /s though, but tone signifiers are never a bad thing! It's a weird double standard I guess.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

It’s a fucking minefield mate. All the best.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Are you really trying to do that?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago
[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It was good when it had only a few hundred thousand users, but obviously you weren't there.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 year ago

no that was when it was a jailbait/creepshots/libertarian/"hacker" site. Still not good. Still pedo and soy.
