  • It was old almost as soon as it began. I’m still shocked that people seem to be wanting those parts of Reddit rather than leaving them behind.

    A lot of people are the problems with that place, and like a bad smell it followed them.

    Blocking entire instances I’m told improves things, but gods damn that’s a huge block list to have to enact

    Started encountering mods being asses now. For some communities, it leaves Reddit as the preferable alternative, which is a horrible state for things to be in.





  • Sir Terry Pratchett (GNU) wrote a piece of fiction along these lines. In The Light Fantastic:

    The reason for this is regrettably all too common. When the first explorers from the warm lands around the Circle Sea travelled into the chilly hinterland they filled in the blank spaces on their maps by grabbing the nearest native, pointing at some distant landmark, speaking very clearly in a loud voice, and writing down whatever the bemused man told them. Thus were immortalised in generations of atlases such geographical oddities as Just A Mountain, I Don’t Know, What? and, of course, Your Finger You Fool.

    “Am I so out of touch? No… It’s the audience that are wrong”

    I haven’t been to a traditional cinema in about 5 years. Home theatres are much better value. Can pause and rewind for bathroom breaks, don’t have to wear pants, can drink and eat anything I want. I don’t have to contend with people incessantly talking throughout the movie, there are no bored kids kicking seats and crying, I don’t have to pay for parking, and I can start and stop the film whenever my company and I want to.

    I was excited when Disney+ started offering premiers at home. Them removing them wasn’t “training me”, I’m a patient person and I’m happy to wait to have my movie experience the way I want it when I want it.
