I’d like it how it is now but a bit more active, like reddit circa 2008 when I first joined. Sure there were memes and shitposts, which are fun and have their place, but even then the discussions on news stories and other serious topics were of unusually good quality. Tildes captures the later quite well, but is also pretty quiet.
Lots of trees :)
“Yeah it’s just this really obscure 90s band from Seattle that no vapid 25 year old girl such as yourself would have heard of. Sad story actually, the singer blew his brains out.”
What I wouldn’t give to see Patrick Bateman hacking Jared Leto to death while ranting about Coldplay.
My country and city subs mostly. I still visit covidlonghaulers a bit, because it’s nice to hear from people in the same boat when everyone seems to be acting like it’s all over. I also have a frankly unhealthy addiction to publicfreakout, which I’m working on.
I was once suspended for making a dumb dick joke, something like “that guy must be hung” (it made sense in context, stupid sense, but sense nonetheless). This was reported as a threat of violence or whatever. I appealed, explaining that I wasn’t wishing anyone to be hanged, merely suggesting that they must have a large penis and got my account back.
Meanwhile racist dogwhistles and rampant transphobia abound with little consequence.
Getting rick-rolled in text form was a fun new experience.
That could be enough maybe? Anyone who is perceived as “strange” gets second hand citizenship, even if it’s subtle.
