Yeah that's not creepy at all.

Absolutely. This place may be less active, but discussions have definitely been much more civil and constructive. So far, I haven't had any toxic reactions to any of my comments, whereas on reddit no matter what you write or however careful you write it, there would always be someone taking offense at it or being awful in the comments.

I don't mind discussion or disagreement, but on reddit this often means "bringing the other guy down" instead of making your own point.

As this started happening more and more throughout the years, I've often wondered if it was me, if I was so out of touch, but it turned out it was really the children (redditors) who were wrong.

They've already taken Voronezh as well, some 500km from Moscow and have been reported to be advancing through the Lipetsk province, 350km south of Moscow.

There's no real "benefit" to Ukraine in this, is there?

Well, it appears that some of the baddies will be killing off each other, saving Ukraine the trouble.

Yeah, news about the war is one of the only reasons I still hold on to my reddit account. It may not appear in /r/all, but those subs contain a shitton of relevant content and active discussion about it.

They can stick their api up their ass, i want them to burn.

That's my position too now. Until a week ago or so, I was holding out hope that reddit would change course and work something out with the app developers, now I hope reddit burns and turns into a complete shit heap.

Thanks to /u/Spez for opening his mouth, and to the admins for how they "handled" the protests.

Technically, Lemmy could go the same way. Even though it's an free software project, @ljdawson doesn't own the Lemmy trademark. I think it would be prudent to call it "Sync for Lemmy".

Also, the name change from "Reddit Sync" to "Sync for Reddit" happened long enough ago that people are probably more familiar with the new name,

This is such a terrible moralizing take ...

It didn't get the same attention because it had already happened, it was terrible, and nobody said otherwise, but there was no mystery or suspense about those peoples' fates. There was no ongoing story.

The Titan story is in the same vein as when workers get trapped in a mine for weeks, or like those children in a cave in Thailand.

Also, to the columnist lady: you work for The fucking Guardian, if you felt that the migrant shipwreck story deserved more attention, why didn't you write about it then?

In those messages you can see all the stages of grief, minus acceptance, play out over the course of 1h20m.

I don't even know. They don't tell you that, all I have is that inbox message and I don't appear to be missing any comments. This is really some Kafkaesque bullshit...
