just wait, reddit is 100% going to sunset old.reddit within the next year

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

I had déjà vu during spez's AMA stating that old Reddit will always exist. He stated the same thing a few years back with third party apps. I don't trust anything that slimy fuck says.

Spez said they wouldn't, so they probably will.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I just tried it and got "unable to connect".

Android, Firefox.

Seems entirety of reddit had a brief downtime earlier according to some other thread that I can't find anymore

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

It's loading for me. YMMV

[–] [email protected] 24 points 1 year ago (1 children)

some of my best friends are useless idiot communists!

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

@fuser I can see one downvote on this comment. It would be so funny if that one person is one of your friends. xD Just joking, but I want believe it!

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

Friends don't let friends downvote useless idiot communists!

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Let these people be miserable on Reddit. I’m worried if they come here, it’ll become more toxic.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Well, Reddit is known to have a toxic community. I mean, when someone tells about Reddit irl then they get the "you're an idiot" look from strangers. Like, we all know how deeply censored Reddit is. Now it's dead for a slew of people in favor of Lemmy, ain't it nice?

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Seconded!

Though perhaps the redditor should have mentioned kbin instead of lemmy - that would have totally worked.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 year ago (1 children)

They probably won't like the communists here, either.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

I can't argue with that!

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

lol, lemmygrad.ml isn't a kbin instance.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago

Not the OP redditor but the replying redditor.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Well I'm not communist yet I am here. Not everyone on Lemmy is one.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Lemmy/Kbin user here. Hardcore Capitalist and absolutely hate Communism.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yeah, here it totally works. Couldn't say that on Mastodon. Almost everything is left oriented there.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

It's true. It's why I feel that Mastodon will never replace Twitter. It's too much of a left wing circlejerk / bubble, and they're actively hostile to even moderate viewpoints. much less actually conservative ones.

I'm probably in the minority in this, but I believe that even people I don't agree with should have a platform and be tolerated as long as they're reasonable and willing to compromise and show respect, as long as they're not racist nazi nutjobs.

The world isn't exclusively made up of one set of ideas, and you shouldn't shut out 75% of all viewpoints just because they don't agree with yours, imo.

[–] southsamurai 5 points 1 year ago

Oh, some of the assholes came here during the initial migration too. Plenty of them, but they get shut down quicker here

[–] oSillyScope 3 points 1 year ago

Joke's on them. I came for the communists. Reddit became not fun.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I take exception to bring called... a communist

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

What's wrong with being a communist? EDIT: /s

Sincerely,
A filthy hippy socialist witch.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

@esty To be fair, the suggestion to use these extensions is good. But I prefer Firefox. It was the only way I could use Reddit. kbin and Lemmy are useable by default, even though it has some problems too. And dense people are everywhere, in Reddit, in Lemmy, in kbin, in Twitter. That does not mean everyone is one. Just the chance to hit an idiot is higher on Reddit and Twitter, because idiots would never consider switching from mainstream and shit on others.

And that's good. Good people switch, idiots stay on Reddit. Best filter ever. :D

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Legit though, if you for some reason need to use Reddit on mobile:

Firefox Nightly > unlock the extended addon collection support > create an addon collection with uBlock, res, and Old.reddit redirect > import to Firefox Nightly.

Boom. Old.reddit on the phone, it never ever sends you to the mobile site.

Now mind you, it's a janky user experience using old.reddit on mobile, and they'll sunset old.reddit soon, but if you absolutely need it, there ya go.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Even a small barrier to entry greatly improves the signal to noise ratio in discussions, so I view the (very) minor challenge of getting into the Fediverse to be a much appreciated feature.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

It doesn't matter what theme you'll use.

It doesn't matter what extension you'll use.

If that community will behave similarly before and after using said theme and extension, then maybe it's the community. Great example shown here from the "helper".

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Well they're not entirely wrong. There sure are plenty of communists here

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Yeah, but are they communist communists or "everything to the left is communist" communist?
