StankFlipper

Completely out and I had RIF for at least eleven years. They got rid of a part of me; I don't want shit to do with the site anymore. I'd also be out of Facebook if it weren't for messenger. I look to Lemmy for updates on the dumpster fire that is Reddit now.

At least otters don't sexually harass underage girls via whiny text message. I'll take the otter over Drake any day!

I said in another discussion, I'm in no way a great Reddit personality, but I deleted all my stuff and it came back. I hope there's some kind of personal data reckoning coming for Reddit, but even if there isn't, fuck spez.

Your metaphor reminded me of killing vampires in Skyrim and it made me smile as I also feel a deep sorrow from the fact all major companies now are racing to the bottom while leaving their skidmarks on everything I used to love.

One night at bedtime, I put my daughter to bed and then crawled into bed by my wife and left our bedroom door open to hear if she needed anything in the night or so she could come sleep by us if she got scared. An hour or so passes and my daughter crawls in by us and I'm so tired I just leave the door open (normally I close and lock it if we're all in there). A few hours pass and I hear what I thought was my kid walking down the hallway and stopping by the side of my bed and then I realize she is already in bed by us.

Then I hear a scraping noise on our blanket and I try to open my eyes and see what's going on. I have a hard time and realize I must be having sleep paralysis and that I need to wake myself up somehow, but before I can I see a short silhouette of a person dragging a kitchen knife from our knife drawer over the blanket above my legs. The silhouette is just pure black I cannot make out any features and I'm done seeing this shit so I attempt to toss around and make noise so my wife could wake me. I wake up and my wife is fully awake and our daughter is awake and crying about a grumpy face man scaring her in her sleep.

The next day after my wife gets home from work I discuss what I saw and she gets the chills and tells me the reason she was awake to hear me was because she saw the exact same thing standing by her side of the bed and using the lights from her phone and watch chargers like its eyes. We compared our specifics from what we saw in our sleep more and the encounters were identical. I've told this online before and mouth breathers just chalk it up to sleep paralysis and nothing more and I normally would too, but the fact the three of us had a shared nightmare of the same shit and all woke up at the same time is what scares me. I checked our house for gas leaks and carbon monoxide and nothing like that was found.

It's a massively growing demographic! /S

"Let's go Brandon!" Bumper stickers.

If these dumbasses have enough money to drop on a ticket aboard this sub to look at something you can see on a documentary, they should also have to foot the bill for the rescue mission. I'm sure all these rescue programs are tax funded that they dodge themselves. So, not only are they squirreling and eating up money we could all be using, but now we're picking up the check.

The comments/replies to my comments that really chapped my ass were when someone was defending ads and trying to claim they didn't even know there were third party apps and we were just being babies. I don't want to have to watch two unskippable ads like YouTube just to see a meme or comment in an AskReddit or be bombarded with gas pill ads between every front page post because I typed "why am I farting more than normal?" In a toolbar five years ago, and I'm not being a baby because I don't want to give up my working product for a shit alternative that turns me into a product. I feel like Reddit is Pied Piper from 'Silicon Valley' where they hired a shit load of trolls in an office in New Delhi to gaslight us and drive up support for a highly disliked business path.

Agreed! I love the laid back feel of this community and not all the hostility you see everywhere else. With growth comes change though, so I hope the spirit of this group endures.

This shit would drive me nuts. My friends and I would send each other links we found on Reddit through messenger or text and when I would get one, it would take me to a blurred view of the page and tell me to view it on their app. I would back right out, go on RedditIsFun, and search the title of the post there. To stop this from happening to people I sent to, I'd just take a screenshot of the meme and send it in a group chat and say I saw it on r/whatever. If you force me to use your broken shit, I'll send that meme in a fax out of spite if I have to.

I think I'll be checking back to look at all my subscribed subs, write them down, and bookmark certain webpages and when RIF goes down, I have a great start for things to look for on here. Gotta keep going forward.
