It's a war for content. If you have ever written a comment of more than five coherent lines then you have been working for free all this time.

We are the value, we fill the websites, we create the distraction between two ads and we teach the AI.

It is reserved to people living in the USA.

Be patient, if you want your content deleted you will have an efficient way to do it soon. Don't count on reddit to do this for you. It seems we have enough access to the API to do it ourselves.

I agree that a lot of politicized content is shit. Yesterday I checked reddit and an article was titled 'ultra-rich reminded of pitchforks if they don't share' or some asinine bullshit. I would enjoy not having this relentless ragebait spam here.

@news is like 50% american political news. The newcomers are reproducing what they did on reddit. It's news material to them.

I do however think, that I can just block them right?

You cannot block the content they upvote. You can block a magazine, but why would you block @news? Why should it be the de facto american political channel? Also the content induces a type of comment. If the frontpage is made of rageclick then subscribers will be rageclick consumers.

So we have reenacted the reddit process. Except we did it way faster.

I think you are right to caution but maybe a little over the top.

It's only the beginning, the worse is yet to come as today is the last day for apollo and co.

What happened to antiwork was fantastic. It was created by someone who was lazy and did not wanted to work. Then it got co-opted by people who wanted to work. Finally he was kicked as a mod for sticking to the name and spirit of his sub. He had his cosy sub and he was invaded by workers.

How can you seriously claim to be pro-work but follow the banner of someone who claimed long ago to be antiwork? Why were they all shocked? Just read the sign, antiwork, it's the name!! Don't you listen to the people you chose to follow?

watches the TV --> "Ho no, our leader is antiwork!"

Just create your own thing.

The admins would never disrespect themselves by doing this peasant job by themselves. They have standards.

And you never paid anything to reddit either, still reddit wants you to spend your attention here.

Microsoft doesn't want to bring traffic to reddit. They have everything to lose when your attention is away from their services. For example you won't bring your friends to them. You won't watch their add while you are on reddit. You don't use a Microsoft platform when you are on reddit.

This is absolutely not a neutral choice for Microsoft: they want you, your attention, your friends and your content on their network. Why do you think they bought Minecraft in the first place? It's because it brings young customers in. Microsoft did not purchase Minecraft for the code (there are minecraft clones everywhere anyway), they bought the community. They want to pump their own numbers, not the competition's. If I remember correctly they also merged the Minecraft accounts with the Microsoft account, isn't it cute?

It's a constant war for your attention time. Your login is the metric, it's everything to them.

This kind of person is the reason why I decided to mod one specific sub. Because I saw the shitshow that one person can make on a sub when going on a power trip. Once the dust have settled I'll give it to someone reasonable who wants to do it full time.

You should be cautious if one of the powertripper we have now is the admin of a sub you like. I think the max I've seen was 40~60 subs? What good do you think can come out of it?

btw, as someone mentioned, he is fuelling his own fire on /m/politicus, making it a rageclick fest all over again. This is the reason why I left reddit btw, because all the subs slowly turned into a rageclick show.

When you mod you set the tone, if you don't want a mirror of reddit then step up and set the tone yourself.

HAHAHA hahaha , lol... omg okay bye.

Thank you for your trust, trustcafe.io

funfact: /m/interestingasfuck has one post and 2 comments so far. And more than a thousands people waiting for it to do something cool. It's like they are waiting for someone to turn the power button on.

It tells tales about the model of bots feeding reposts to the peanut gallery.

This is really awkward to read. Keep this for yourself and stop talking to me.

Go run your own instance, you will be able to federate with whoever you want. Your instance = your responsibility.
