I mean, there’s no select *, for a start.

Personally I think “communities” is the closest we’ve got to a generic name for those things.

Block accounts can get expensive if you’re doing a lot of traffic.

The setup I recommend is one unlimited account and a block account on a different backbone. That way you can download as much as you like and the block account gives you extra coverage.

It’s not just AI. Somewhere between the “research” and “commercialisation” phase of every technology’s development it seems to transform into the most cynical, exploitative possible version of itself.

I wonder how much of this is Firefox getting better and how much is Chrome getting worse...

I posted this elsewhere, but they were already paying people to post content before the protest.

Have a look at this user’s posts prior to the blackouts: https://old.reddit.com/user/WelshCai/ Lots and lots of low-effort posts in various UK subreddits.

And read this (which was posted after he got accused of being a karma farming bot), note the admin comment confirming it: https://old.reddit.com/user/WelshCai/comments/130zbw6/i_am_a_community_builder_for_reddit/

This link confirms that Community Builders are “vetted and paid by Reddit for their time”: https://support.reddithelp.com/hc/en-us/articles/4418715794324-What-is-the-Community-Builders-Program-

Despite claiming they work with mods, the mods of those subreddits don’t seem to be aware of this, as evidenced by this post: https://www.reddit.com/r/Leeds/comments/138gi40/reddit_community_builders_please_read_details/

But, I don't understand. That's the scientific definition, how can they be angry about that?

Faking popularity for profit. Ew.

That link doesn’t work for me. But basically use PETG for strength and heat resistance, PLA is better for rigidity or dimensional accuracy, but it’ll soften super easily. ASA/ABS would be better but is trickier to print and needs an enclosure.

I didn’t call you a tankie, I called OP a tankie.

Regardless, my point was that OP is complaining about impersonation, yet nobody appears to have actually been mislead by it. OP appears to be complaining about it purely because they object to some other behaviour. Seems a bit disingenuous, no? You want to respond to that? Or you’re just going to continue doing mental gymnastics to convince yourself that calling someone a 12 year old isn’t name-calling?

Excellent riposte, sir. You deftly refuted all of my arguments, and didn’t at all resort to name-calling.
