Thanks. What is that old saying? Art is knowing when to stop and how to frame it.

Even the magas are going to ask themselves, “What is this shit?”

That pic is kind of beautiful.

That chicken at the bottom, they knew.

I’m absolutely implying intent. There are trolls here, for sure. I probably see it more because I mod a larger community and I’m in politics a lot. If you avoid those communities, you probably have a different perspective. People misunderstand too, and if I get it wrong I apologize.

C merger that sent the company’s stock cratering 93% and years of mounting losses

93%?! Fucking hell, that’s really bad.

It’s a conceptual mountain, duh.

I think it would be super easy for them to fudge the numbers on their side.

It took awhile to get rid of that for me too. I can spot the trolls pretty easily here though, there are about 10 accounts maybe? I sometimes fall for the trap, but it’s getting rarer and rarer. I have found their patterns, but sometimes it takes me a few comments to see that it’s bad faith.

I think Lemmy/Piefed is so much less addicting, that it doesn’t really matter as much. I guess because the anger is the part that’s addicting and I never realized I was in it until I got away. It’s really strange though, I just quit cold turkey. Which is great, but strange. I’m so glad I did.

Lol, I should have prefaced with Reddit survivor.

Make one clarifying point comment and then move on.

An example of how to do it:

You: EVs are better for the environment

Comment: Why are you saying that China should rule the world?

You: I’m saying that EV’s are better for the environment no matter who makes them. Last comment.

An example on how not to do it:

You: EVs are better for the environment

Comment: Why are you saying that China should rule the world?

You: I never said that you asshole. Why are you sticking up for China, you fucking tankie. You’re a troll piece of shit, etc., etc.,

Comment: You said China is amazing, you obviously want to go down on them

You: Why are you saying this shit? Etc., etc., etc. blah, blah, blah

It was from their search engine and listed as Altoide. It had to be google misrepresenting it or they have a really fucking serious problem that just happens to be the only time it ever happened, and an app they hate.

From my own personal experience, I tried to download Aptoide and it downloaded a completely different app. It said it was Aptoide and then it was a weird sponsored product that showed up. Then when I searched again for Aptoide, it said that it wasn’t available to download.

I think that’s why it hasn’t happened yet. Just imagining people who blow stop signs, or driving drunk, or whatever other shitty driving thing there is to do while in the air, over people’s houses and schools. I think that’s why they were waiting for autodrive, but autodriving hasn’t proven to be all that great yet. It’s nightmare fuel.

Some tips:

• We do have some trolls, we’re getting more popular. If you feel like someone is picking on you, those are them.
• Active is the default, but can seem less active because the active posts stay up longer. I made my default Hot, but then I check Active and Top 6 Hours.
• You’re probably going to go through a withdrawel. It varies by person, but mine took about a week or two.

Welcome.

Ahhh, well that explains it. I should have known there was corruption involved.

I loved reddit for the first year or so, we had some quiet communities for reddit that were everyone just messing around. It was fun and then it really wasn’t.
