- Comment on Reddit’s 50% Plunge Fails to Entice Dip Buyers as Growth Slows. 4 weeks ago:
Idk, I doubt the advertising partners really have a problem with reddit porn. This dip is likely a reflection of the article linking reddit moderation policies to Elon Musk (absolutely hilarious that he’s so toxic to stocks he’s killing other people’s companies now). I don’t think this is even a reflection of a drop in users yet,

- Comment on Why is there so much separation in the USA between people who identify as "black" or "white" compared to other regions like South America? 1 month ago:
In 1865, the U.S. ratified the 13th amendment that reads “Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction.” Essentially ending slavery as we know it.
And since then, the wealthy have been attempting to do everything they can to bring it back.
It started with the black codes and Jim Crow, doing a facsimile of slavery and violence. This merged into segregation, and then on to red linning and unequal judicial practices. In the civil war, the south got poor white men to enlist by convincing them that freed black men would take their jobs, and we see this continued rhetoric today.
As a result, black people have been grouped together by way of literally preventing them from being in white areas, and for the last 70 years, relying on how difficult it really is to move up and out of any area. You know the best way of passing down wealth? Real estate, which black people have been pointedly pushed away from by redlining and segregation. Ultimately, black Americans have developed their own parallel culture, one that white people have historically shrieked away from. So we end up with two very different groups that see each other as different.
- Comment on dear republicans, what's the point of alienating every single ally of the US? 1 month ago:
I do think it’s a Russia thing. Putin getting America to alienate all of its closest allies, so that it’s only Russia left to aid.
- Comment on Reddit will warn users who repeatedly upvote banned content 1 month ago:
I’m also kind of new, and if you’re doling out advice, I’ve got a quesiton: If I were interested in potentially modding someday, what kind of things should I learn/read up on to handle that kind of responsibility? I want to help build communities so I can selfishly enjoy them, but im feeling too new so far.
- Comment on Reddit will warn users who repeatedly upvote banned content 1 month ago:
Got banned for saying Nazis shouldn’t be alive. Welcome to lemmy, I’m personally approaching it with the philosophy of “communities need activity to thrive”

- Comment on Come one come all, it's time to unblock !conservative@lemmy.world and bring your best memes of conservatives! 1 month ago:
The fatal flaw of the internet is that you can find people who are into similar obscure stuff that you’re into, but that also means the nazis can also find each other

- Comment on [deleted] 2 months ago:
I mean, the phrase was made because they’re pussies who can’t handle criticism of their speech. In this use the “not able to crtisize” is literally having your ability to speak shut down.
