  • I’m a boomerang. Reddit has the content, but it’s largely focused on the larger subs which are the ones I want to avoid. I’ll have to decide whether or not I want to run into obvious tankies (mayo) or try to spot misinformation campaigns (reddit).

    And reddit is getting worse in every way. Reddit wants to turn into an ad platform and that’s the way things are going. Lot’s more locked comments and posts, totally unchecked misinformation and dooming.

    On iOS through firefox the google login prompt can’t be closed. This is what prompted me back, I started using Voyager again.

    I might come back and search for another home server, create a new account and delete my old one. Start fresh.






  • Interesting idea but it’s still too close to the reddit platform. Looks a lot like reddit gold, except you can take your ‘gold’ elsewhere. This is a cool idea, despite the knee jerk reactions in this thread.

    It’s a partial step towards a DAO, but looks rushed, half baked, and done for the wrong reasons. Some reddit profits will trickle into this currency. If they wanted to provide actual benefits instead of just making themselves rich they’d distribute profits to CP holders and allow CP holders some governance roles site-wide instead of being boxed into a community. Serfdom vibes.




  • I can’t quite figure out the purpose of the votes here and I think I just prefer to comment instead of giving an up/down.

    I think the up/down thing also promotes shorter comments, at least it did for me, since I know it can be hard to totally agree with someone who is making several points so I tried to keep it short and to the point. Which is dumb, because difficult topics are complex and deserve more words thrown at them not less.


    Maybe the utility of the votes for me is when I don’t know what I want to say in a reply, but I want to express something. Then I vote.
