Blood sacrifices won't be enough, unless the sacrifice is the company as a whole. Oddly enough, the only time that Reddit managed to unite its userbase for a cause, that cause was against Reddit itself. Users might disagree on the best

I'm going to try this with my Firefox bookmarks. They're already a bloody mess, and I need to get rid of 404ing ones anyway. Except that it'll be Johnny Octal. (reason: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_M

Even more valuable info will be generated, and I don't think that we should just cram it there like that. We would be exposing this new info to information loss. And someone might say "I won't post it there", but once th

>Isn't it like this at most places? Even here, where mob rule (the introverted ones hiding behind their downvote ability) oppresses contrarians? To be fair Reddit has an additional issue: Whoever is the top mod is based on seniority

I'm here*, in Lemmy, in Kbin, in Beehaw. Registering to a new alternative only takes me a small amount of my time, but it increases the odds of finding what I want. I've also spent more time in 4chan and MyAnimeList, although I wa
