Don't forget the beardo wizard in the corner pulling a Heimskyr, ranting about Linux, while accompanied by a menacing looking hand drawn penguin holding a knife.

Ackchually it's Heimskr and GNU/Linux

May Lord Torvalds forgive me for this transgression.

You call it antagonizing, i call it curation 😎

People who complain about gatekeeping forget that there are very legitimate reasons gates are put up in the first place.

[–] Draegur@lemm.ee 19 points 3 days ago

alternatively: it's negging? :p

[–] conditional_soup@lemm.ee 6 points 2 days ago

Well, they fucking are

I missed the origin of this meme, what a vid though! I really need to attend more city council meetings, and I definitely need to open any addresses to them with "'sup bootlickers?"

I'm not sure I can bring myself to create an account on that site. I can't listen to people whine about how difficult it is to pick a server. "ergmagerd, the choices I have to make are so difficult :cry: :cry: :cry: why do I have to choose between a generalist, furry, lgbtq and tech server :tears: :tears: :tears:" and the "it looks like shit" people who forget how old.reddit.com looks like.

Nah I'm good.

old.reddit.com is still the only usable way to use Reddit. Whenever I find something in a web search that leads to Reddit, the majority of the content on the page is hidden unless I change the URL to old.reddit.com.

The fact that they've conditioned the majority of users to prefer the new site means it's not the place for me anymore.

There's a browser addon for that, btw! https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/old-reddit-redirect

[–] db0@lemmy.dbzer0.com 11 points 3 days ago (1 children)

doesn't RES do that anyway?

[–] rumschlumpel@feddit.org 4 points 3 days ago

Maybe there's an option somewhere, but at least back when I installed Old Reddit Redirect, it either didn't exist, didn't work or I didn't find it.

[–] dalekcaan@lemm.ee 4 points 3 days ago

It's the only way to browse some subs without logging in nowadays.

[–] Irelephant@lemm.ee 4 points 2 days ago

I made one because I was annoyed at people being wrong about the fediverse.

[–] lobut@lemmy.ca 7 points 3 days ago

I was one of the people that didn't understand the decentralization until Reddit went pure enshittification and I had to get used to it. I know it's not so bad but it's just a UX thing.

I'm here now, so it turns out to be nothing but it can be confusing to users if it isn't clear what's going on.

Ninja edit: sorry, meme community oops

redact

To be quite contrarian here:

When people whine about how something so simple is difficult, the appropriate response is to listen.

Mandatory instance selection as an active choice during the registration process is unacceptable friction unless we specifically intend to retard user growth.

But once we rope some new Fedifriends in and they start commenting and appreciating the site… hit them with the technical!! May need foster-parent instances to take burden of initial signup.

Is that your ingrained response to anything that fits? Because I've got some objects for you to look at...

you know, (con)sensually.

[–] mlg@lemmy.world 16 points 3 days ago (1 children)

c/Politics being a bunch of very obvious reddit migrants who stand out like a sore thumb in every other community, including c/WorldNews

[–] OsrsNeedsF2P@lemmy.ml 5 points 2 days ago

I don't know how they can remain so disillusioned with reality. Like every other post is obviously irrelevant ragebait but they keep it up

[–] Snowclone@lemmy.world 6 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Please keep agitating. No one should feel comfortable.

Chief I don't know if you want the crowd that's still over there. I'm a recent migrant and it was getting bad. the average redditor just has a really shitty idea of how the internet should be

Don’t worry they’re all getting banned for thought crimes

[–] thorhop@sopuli.xyz 7 points 3 days ago

REDDITOOOOORS~! COME OUT AND PLAY-AAAAY!

[–] TheThrillOfTime@lemmy.ml 3 points 2 days ago

Me trying to be nice

[–] LaLuzDelSol@lemmy.world 2 points 3 days ago
