This has been a problem for a very very long time

The Fediverse feels a lot like the old Reddit from 10+ years ago , but I suspect that once it becomes mainstream the shills and bots will move in and ruin it like they ruined Reddit.

On 4chan that would not even be an insult . 4chan can be far far more creative than that.

Reddit was pretty much a shell of its former self before the third party app scandal, it was just the straw that broke the camel’s back , but before that there was a litany of mistakes and bed decisions that killed all the fun that reddit used to be the host of.

One thing I will not miss is the self important super moderators who patrol the site flexing on anyone as they act as self appointed guardians of morality , always ready with a script to mass ban someone who displeases them from hundreds of subreddits for the most petty of reasons , such as disagreeing with them and worse , being provably right.

End result? Civil rights legislation and the end of Jim Crow Laws. He did die though, but all his immediate goals were accomplished and significant progress was made on his major goals and he is a hero to millions.

Or ask the British empire in India in 1947… Peaceful protests won them their independence and started the ball rolling for decolonialization worldwide.

Reddit is nothing but a bunch of violent thugs , I had the sheer nerve to suggest non-violent passive resistance might be a viable form of protest and I was met with wave after wave of hateful responses and a downvote brigade.

I am looking for an equivalent to Open Directories which list open caliber libraries.

Just accept that Reddit has brain worms and move here , this is a better solution because nobody can possibly own the entire network.

Steam installs perfectly well on Debian and most games pick up a small performance boost from running on an OS with less overheads.

Unraid servers can be hosted from Debian with few issues .

Transport Tycoon

Doom

Goldeneye 64 (I bought a N64 console just for this game)

Frontier Elite

Baldur’s gate

Fallout 2

X : Beyond The Frontier

He has been quite clear in his views he views the mods as landed gentry and the common users as peasants . Fuck Spez.

I am lurking and watching the dumpster fire at this point , reddit went full Authoritarian on Dndmemes and sacked a bunch of cool mods because we turned it into a goblin porn subreddit for the shutdown/blackout and the admins did not like that… so I am posting here now and watching Reddit burn in the distance.

The fediverse is far more open to the idea of being a “marketplace of ideas” .

That is what Reddit was before Spez got greedy and abandoned the liberal ideas that made Reddit great when Aaron Swartz was around.

if they keep it up at this rate Linux will be the only OS people use by the year 3090 (16.66 years per percentage point)
