Reddit for me is now:

You've been blocked by network security. To continue, log in to your Reddit account

lol no

That's 100% a VPN being used. Some countries get around it. You need to shop around.

[–] heavydust 22 points 1 week ago

It is, you're right and I forgot to mention it. But I consider it a good thing for my sanity.

Or use a different frontend like eddrit

Redlib, it's so much nicer than all the shit clutter on reddit anyways.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 week ago

Or a public wifi being used. For some reason, Reddit blocks that as well.

What did you do? Use a VPN or Tor?

When the Reddit is Fun app shut down due to the API thing, I spent days deleting hundreds of comments/posts that I had made.

Redreader still works and is open source.

Explanation? I'm not getting it

I'm autistic, repeating the joke won't help me understand. Though I guess it's funny, so continue on (Though I don't know why)

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 week ago (1 children)

AuDHD here. I could be entirely off, but there's two jokes I can see.

The first is that the punchline is a non-joke, because it's been removed.

The second is that they're all just as meaningless, but still repeated. Rich and attractive people always try to convince you not to question those structures because it benefits them. It's a nothing statement. Of course they would say that. Just like [Deleted], always saying [Removed].

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 week ago

I like this explanation

Rich people will say, money doesn't matter. But they haven't experienced actually not having it. It's ironic.

Attractive people say, looks don't matter, but they've always had good looks. It's ironic.

The joke plays on the way deleted comments on Reddit show up as removed by deleted user, sounding similar to the earlier ironies: Deleted says deleted. Since that last is effectively meaningless, and entirely different underneath from the reaction-to-judgement underlying the first two, it's also humour from the non-sequitur.

So it turns a frustration with rich and attractive people telling us not to worry about money and looks, into a surreal joke comparing the pattern to deleted Reddit comments.

We're both in the same boat here, and these other ppl being unhelpful makes me sad

I took it to mean that if you weren't rich or beautiful, you would be censored. The censorship being a way to show that you weren't important.

Of course, that wouldn't actually be the case in real life, though it may feel that way. If we were looking through the lens from a big data company, it would be true that we're just one data point in a sea of data points, but they rely on the sea and the sea is made of me's.

On reddit, when A user account is deleted, their posts will just say "removed" and the account "deleted", hence the association of the two.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 week ago (5 children)

But how is it a continuation on the other three? Is it just cause it matches the quote formats?
