Reddit is a psychopath corporation. They are laser-focussed on engagement and signups, and don't care if they degrade the fabric of society while they do it. The website is designed to encourage conflict and divisive hate, millions of

It's despicable behavior isn't it? There's a "normalization" that it's acceptable for companies such as Reddit, Twitter, Facebook etc to enourage the world to post information on their website, and then block a

Yahoo is still one of the largest providers of mail/news/shopping in Japan. From 6th April they will block all access to the services for visitors from the EU/UK due to GRPR compliance. This will hugely affect all expat Japan

The website misses the reason that I have not moved my domains to HTTPS: Google. Google treat the HTTP and HTTPS pages as separate for link ranking purposes, so there is a chance that a move will destroy 10 years of link ranking. Even with

Reddit is on a complete different level of abhorrent filth. The mobile experience is so obnoxious that it's fair to call it "evil". And I'm only describing the technical aspect of it. The culture it encourages of people

Reddit is a psychopath corporation. I cannot think of another description for a company with such a grotesque and obnoxious mobile experience. Pure unadulterated evil.

Good point. So perhaps she is a genius at social-engineering and managed to "play" the journalist by appealing to the journalist's pre-conceived notions about her.

She claims to have slept with all 4 members of The Beatles. Methinks most of the stories she tells are nonsense, but she suits the prevailing narrative for a certain segment of the media.

I would say most UK people consider the BBC to be impartial and neutral, except perhaps for people with more extreme political opinions.

Your comment does't make any sense. You are saying that the Conservative party are making this huge change to distract from their current problems. Are you saying they created the entire plan in a few weeks? Do you have any evidence fo

If you genuinely believe that the US has standards comparable to the third world, the you've been consuming propaganda on the Internet, I guess from low-quality communities such as Facebook/Twitter/Reddit etc. These people ar

Isn't DuckDuckGo just a wrapper around Bing search results? I see lots of complaints about DDG search results but those complaints should be directed to Bing, not DDG. (I understand that DDG does some value-add to the results returned

Can I defend Google here? What are they supposed to do? The "Internet" as an information resource is dead. All new topical information has moved to walled gardens such as Facebook, TikTok, Instagram, Twitter, Discord, Reddit etc,

For most people, crypto is about money, not tech. Easy money, quick money. Therefore the spam level of any crypto discussion is so huge that the opinion gets drowned out by the propaganda.

Is there any published evidence of Pelosi accepting bribes, or are you posting stuff you read on Reddit and Facebook? Hacker News generally has a higher level of discourse, it's not really a conspiracy/Qanon type website.

Do you think that people should be calling for the death of a politician based on "indirect evidence"?

A top comment on one of the most popular websites in the world is calling for the death of a politician based on no evidence whatsoever. Perhaps this is normal to you, but not to me, or any of the advertisers who pay money to advertise on R

Again, you are making an incredible claim (Pelosi has made money illegally) without providing any evidence. I understand that this rhetoric is normal on some low-quality websites that you may frequent, but there's generally a higher s

One of the top stories on Reddit right now is about Nancy Pelosi, and one of the top comments is calling for her death. No moderation, only praise for the murder comment. It just takes one newspaper to highlight that and it's over for

You are spot-on about the HackerNews tech criticisms being irrelevant. But I think the points about Reddit being toxic to advertisers because of the hate/porn/gore/mysogny are correct. It just takes one bad story and advertis

You're making a very serious allegation, that a politician has been using insider trading to make money on the stock market. Do you have any evidence of this, or are you repeating something you read on Reddit/Twitter/Facebook

This is one of the top stories on Reddit. Some of the top comments on the Reddit story are calling for her death. No moderation. No dissent. Reddit is going to get HAMMERED once it goes public.

This is a moral conundrum. Yes, some of the smaller sub-reddits are good, but by participating, you legitimize the conflict/fakenews/horrorshow that is the main website. It's like saying you enjoy the trains running on time i

Reddit a grotesque toxic website, that makes money by creating conflict, divisiveness, fake news and the deliberate degradation of society. Like Facebook, but so so much worse. I hope that going public gives it the scrutiny it needs. In a f
