Same. But its not aimed at people like us

“You can just use your astronaut training to fly the Airbus A380”

People who are used to scrolling with a mobile device use it. Thats the whole point of it, make it look like an app. 99% of the users who joined after the introduction of new reddit are youngsters, if they don’t use the new reddit website, they use the app, which is just the new reddit site in a app. I bet a concerning amount of them don’t even know you can browse it on a computer, let alone old.reddit.

Eww thats creepy as hell

Or you were lucky or I was unlucky

Probably bit of both.

so many subreddits have a thing now where you have to have karma in threads

Yeah thats one of the stupidest things. I get the time limit, but the karma requirement is just stupid. Why do I need to go talk in places I’m not interested in talking, with people who I don’t care for, if I want to make a comment about stuff that actually interests me. Such a weird thing.

But anyhow, its finally over and lemmy and other places are so much better lol. At least here the top 90% of comments arent the same reddit jokes and the users don’t start insulting you when you ask a perfectly legitimate question.

Huh, that’s weird that I basically got away with that. I used to switch to a new account every 6 months or so. It started when some weirdo started to follow me and commenting on every single comment I made. I think it was in 2013-14 somewhere around then. Ever since then, I threw away one to two accounts per year. The past few years it was more like every month or two. I was very active in /r/Formula1, they had 1 month time limit on new accounts, so once I was allowed to comment there, I’d throw away the old account. At times I used multiple accounts at the same time, one got suspended, I just logged into another. I know it was ban evasion or whatever, though it started as a way to keep the weirdos at bay.

Anyway, I never got burned because of that. I guess I wasn’t bad enough to be on their radar.

I gave up on it when I got suspended for the 4th time in half a year. I had been using it since 2009-10 or there abouts. Never had any issues. Then about 18 months ago I started to get 3 day suspensions for the most tame shit. I appealed all of them, every single one that was checked by a human was reverted. Then the last one I had, I appealed, didn’t hear anything from them. So I waited the 3 day suspension run its course, sent a few messages I wanted to send and deleted my account.

Yeah I think that’s the thing, they haven’t done anything to/with it. Once they do something that doesn’t work on it, they’ll go “oh deary me. Welp, better put it out of its misery” and shut it down.

Same. I’ve already deleted my account. I use it to find info on niche stuff, if I cant find the info elsewhere.

Redditors on old.reddit.com, or those with settings that default to the old Reddit experience, will continue to access r/all as expected.

I guess they are just ignoring old.reddit until they pull the plug on that completely

For some reason I thought IBM didn’t exist anymore lol. What a horrible day to find out they do.

I was joking with a commenter, they said something like “oh, my mistake. Please don’t kill me” and I replied “haha too late, I’m already coming at you with scissors!” and I got a suspension for threatening someone.

Weird how my reddit use went down by 99% after that. I still have the account, I keep thinking maybe I’ll need it to ask a question or something… Probably wont. Might as well go delete it now lol

lol silly bollockses.

despite all the drama going with arch

Wots this then? I haven’t paid attention since the power source of my tower turned into a smoke machine.

Fucking Haiku sounds interesting.

Yeah I mean I’m not defending this bullshit. I think its all stupid, unnecessary and it doesn’t do shit to pRoTeCt ThE cHiLdrEn.

I wasn’t really commenting on any of that, just asking if there’s any that do actual verification yet.

What distros are actually planning on forcing users to verify their age? All I’ve heard is maybe adding a optional field for date of birth.

Agreed. I was making a tongue in cheek comment about the absurdity of this whole thing. In my opinion, the parents are more responsible than the porn sites, but no one should be punished because young Peter managed to see a boob.

TIL theres a paid version of Bitwarden.

I wonder why the EU didn’t find the parents of the kids to be in breach of whatever relevant child “protection” laws there are? I guess they are okay with the porn websites raising the kids. Maybe the EU can make PornHub to start a chain of day care centers?
