Probably an even bigger wave if they put the porn subs behind a paywall

And potentially worser yet, just the cheap hiterlites.

Altruistic?

paywall all of Reddit

We’re back to SA forums!

Why would we need to bully. Sounds like a wet dream for them

Wasn't there already a subfront that needed reddit gold to view?

Tons of people ostensibly "on the left" started doing it too in more recent months, I've noticed.

I know it's not as simple as "heuhheuh stop using Twitter dipshits!" but, well, it sort of is that easy individually and what's even easier is not paying for the checkmark because Elon unleashed 4chan on you and you're tired of seeing literal Mein Kampf quotations get 1000 likes because it's shown people while your post is pushed to the bottom. Seems to be what a lot of people did. Instead of going "oh, so this is unusable now. Ok, moving on." they just paid the money. Just ensuring Elon will continue the strategy on one hand and on the other digging in heels because downloading another app or bookmarking another site and just actively avoiding twitter was "too hard."

It's kinda funny too, additionally, that Elon whines about some invisible collusion against him and his "new Twitter" which I refuse to call by its moronic new name. If Microsoft (MSNBC), Murdoch (Fox), CNN (whoever the right wing fuck is there), and all the others had actually seriously wanted to stomp Elon's little Nazi dream under the ground it would take zero effort. Google and Apple take the app down (hate speech problems is a super easy and "defendable" reason although they need no reasons because, you know, capitalism). Microsoft and all the other large tech companies, media companies, etc. overwhelmingly ran by conservative liberals who are incredibly racist, right wing, etc. but have zero interest in all the groyper shit spoiling things for them, just communicate between their top executives and PR people to say "hey. Ol' Zucky has this app over here. Microsoft has some stuff. Let's all just support each other and leave fuckwad Musk boy out to dry. No more Twitter for news, k guys? Alright." If all the pundits and reporters at CNN, NYT, Fox, etc. get the silent memo "do not post in an official capacity on Twitter unless told otherwise" like, that's it. It's gone in a couple weeks at best.

Apple saying they don't want a white genocide conspiracy theory directly under their ad for iPhone is not some vast conspiracy. It's just what every sensible capitalist corporation is gonna do.

So, now that libs are just caving to that addiction to likes and content creators feel they must use it, well, Bluesky was probably the best chance at killing it and Dorsey sat and didn't do a full public launch for way way too long. Yes I know mastodon and stuff exists, but being super realistic, people are generally dumb and they don't think or care about decentralization or centralization or why Twitter sucked to begin with. So, as much as I want that stuff to work, well, I'm not on Twitter or mastodon nor will I be. I'm not on reddit either, speaking of another "we truly deserve the worst fate" situation. People were rightly pissed and then just went right back to taking the shaft happily. Even using and paying for that objectively dog doodoo official app. And now that anger over that has basically all gone away I've seen their teams working on killing the last few alternatives people had to maintain the old site (like sideloading the Apollo app on iOS which still worked, still does actually, but they'll chip away and kill it eventually. They could do it just by changing the API anyway. Then on mobile you're stuck with their constantly changing popup ads, their shit app with ads, or nothing (paying isn't a real option fuck that it was meant to be a free site. It's just an aggregation site). Seriously those cockflaps change the code seemingly multiple times a week to evade the updated adblock lists. It's actually pathologically insane that the Steve Nazi weirdo guy seems to have a team of "your job is just "make the popup work at all times.")

So anyway, hopefully Steve and Elon, you know, well, you know. Funny things.

Yeah but then we would have redditors here

excited for when someone posts hexbear to gaming circlejerk and we do a slow motion slaughter of g*mers

More people joining Hexbear and *Grad soon.

Stormfront is a neo-nazi website.

Reddit is a website full of neo-nazis, and is thus often called Stormfront.

= reddit

It's a nazi website that used to be on reddit until negative press forced them to ban it. Hence the logo, that's clipped from an old screenshot. We use it whenever redditor types say racist things, as a "well, what do you expect from that crowd."
