Why are folks so anti-capitalist?
  • The income gap between executive and median salary employees is around 32,000%. I guess the question is, what planet do you live on where a system that allows for this kind of inequity is okay?

  • Don't feel bad for the Moderators of Reddit
  • You want to hear something fucked up? After nearly 10 years in Reddit, one day I suddenly started receiving daily death threats and HEAVY bot spamming on this tiny little sub I was moderating. So naturally I reached out to the mod support sub for help. Then this bot/spammer started flooding my post on their sub which actually felt great—they were getting a taste of what I had been dealing with. The post ended up with well over 500 comments from this piece of shit. So instead of help me out, you know what they did? They banned me from the mod support subreddit.

    I had a conversation with one of the admins who basically told me they don't care about death threats. Furthermore, this spammer had also admitted to murdering people. Again the admin didn't care. Till the day I left they were unable to stop this one person from creating hundreds, maybe even thousands of accounts and spamming tons of people including myself. A billion dollar company can't even control their own product. The bots literally own Reddit. Lol. Fuck them, all of them who stayed.

  • What would you do if you won the lottery?
  • Well now that I have "fuck you" money there's a few things on my mind.

    First, I'm going to eat at a lot of restaurants. I'm going to enjoy my meals too. Through the whole meal I'm going to be buying iced milks for another random patron. I'm going to make sure the waiter is aware that this good gesture needs to be anonymous and I will make sure that as long as the waiter keeps delivering the iced milks I will keep adding $1000 onto their tip. These iced milks will not stop coming until there is nowhere left for the patron to reasonably sit. This waiter will not have to work for a long time afterwards.

    Second, I'm going to buy a shit ton of gold bricks. Like the big one's you envision are in Fort Knox, also known as "Good Delivery" bars. I'm also going to hire an elite team of private security forces whose sole job will be to transport that gold in plain sight everywhere that I happen to go. If by chance my gold is not allowed with me into an establishment, then I will just attempt to buy the place right there on the spot. If that doesn't work, then my team will take the gold and wait with it on public property.

    Pretty sure that $1b is long gone by now, but finally I'm going to be throwing parades—a lot of parades. I will have permits for parades on the streets in front of the houses of all my enemies. These will take place at the most inconvenient possible times that my team of schedulers, planners, and event organizers will be able to find. I will have the dumbest fucking floats in these parades and the shittiest marching bands. I will not stop until I'm sufficient conviced I have broken the spirit of my enemies.

    This is why they won't give me money.

  • Reddit's pathetic attempt to quash dissent
  • Fuck Reddit and fuck everyone running it. During my last months there I was subject to continuous harassment and explicit death threats from one specific troll. When I brought this to the admins, they told me pound sand. They didn't do a fucking thing. Nothing.

    I'm very tempted to put together a dossier of all these interactions and start sending emails to marketing departments of the most common reddit advertisers and make sure they understand the platform they are using to sell shit to people.

  • Well, the new user bump has passed!
  • Partly maybe. I remember when I first joined reddit though. It was well right around 2013 when Facebook was really booming. I was completely disgusted with social media at that point. Reddit was like a whole new world for me with an entire culture and language to learn. It all clicked with me and I felt like I fit in and belonged. Watching it burn this year has been difficult.

  • 1Password vs BitWarden
  • Well I own and manage the server for one thing, so it makes sense for me. Considering the sensitivity of this I try to keep as much of it as possible under my direct control. I only have three devices that I need all of my passwords on, and with KeePass you just click the drop-down and select the sync option when you need to update. I have an sftp client on my phone and will just upload the database whenever I need to. There is an auto syncing option on the client, but I don't use it. It's definitely not the most convenient option out there, but good security is rarely convenient.

  • Why aren't we just stealing all of the top content from Reddit and posting it here?

    Reddit doesn't actually own any of the content, right? Neither do any of the contributors? Seems like a good way to fuck Reddit.

    What's up Lemmy EDC? Here's my drip for the week.

    This was one of my favorite communities on Reddit. It has become complete bullshit fucked up trash now, and I'm happy to be out of there.

    This has been my daily stuff all month minus the pencil which remains on my desk.

    Rolex Dweller

    Benchmade Narrows

    Okluma DC0 with custom zircuti queen bead from my friend Sasa Fabrio

    Tactile Turn pencil

    I got banned from the Reddit sub for asking about union related materials for distribution.

    Are the same petty mods running this show? If so, please ban me immediately. I don't see how you can reconcile claiming to fight labor exploitation while at the same time giving away your labor for free to a billion dollar company.

    How it going here? I'm looking forward to helping fuck up Reddit's IPO.

    Done with Reddit's bullshit, and happy to check this out as it seems to be popular. Any apps that people would recommend for this platform?
