I am now even more interested in seeing this movie. That’s the exact impression I got from the trailer, that they managed to really dive into the world of Barbie and make an unforced narrative that makes sense for that world in a very aware way.

It starts like that and then the people running scripts and other power players take over

It would be news, and even harder to believe as real news.

Yeah, I’m having trouble seeing this as real news.

Not interested in learning

Complains constantly

Wants things for free

Doesn’t deserve your help in this area.

If there can be a consensus between switching to lemm.ee or Kbin, I’d love to lend my pixel to either of those.

I don’t understand most of those terms, but uh, sounds good?

Permission toggles that mean something, battery life and no bloat ware sound great to me.

I have been trying to work out how to write a post like yours for a while, but I don’t have the insight or experience to make it nearly as good. So thank you for putting this out there.

Many of the differences are what makes this place great. The tension that leads to seeking the common ground. The threat of being disconnected that keeps things civil even when there are disagreements. The way memes are enjoyed but as a side. The distinct lack of monetization.

Some of the “faults” that newcomers complain about are important features that align with the core beliefs this place is built on. Some are unfortunate side effects that aren’t going away as long as the values stay the same. Some are just issues that someone meant to get around to but for whatever reason they haven’t yet.

Writing the exact link will make it a link, just like it did here. Then that link gets recognized by the filter and taken out. Gotta go joinfediverse dot wiki or something like “just Google the Fediverse”

Yes, exactly!

“times less” is not an intuitive, easy to understand way of referring to a decrease in some amount or percentage.

Yep, that ship has sailed. Time for the mods to go make their own reddit, (with blackjack and affordable api) and leave that one to burn itself down.

This mod seems familiar. They may be the offending party behind my worst experience on Reddit, and the only mod I ever blocked.

Handed me a temporary ban for responding to a post written to the wrong sub. They didn’t have time to write out a redirect link to copy and paste for lost redditors, but did have time to mark me as trouble and berate me when I suggested redirecting users. Since a temporary ban “wasn’t enough,” they gave a longer ban so I would “learn my lesson.”

Really put a damper on my whole reddit experience.
