bitstein: Spoiler warning: that "proof" on
reddit was bs.
BingoBoingo: Oh, you though people who posted caps like that to
reddit/voad/twatter would be anything other than derpy siding salesmen?
shinohai: I was rather shocked tbh.
reddit has come out w/pitchferks
mircea_popescu:
reddit continues to grow s/globally/imaginarily/, but anyway.
cazalla: how does one preserve
reddit in such countries if you remove access to the content people from those countries wish to access?
phf: i don't think an aristocratic kid has to scream to get what they want, a baseline of ability is always present and taken for granted, in that sense a
reddit sjw is not much different from the wealthy version of the same
mircea_popescu: im so distraught that word lost its principal meaning. which was - people being "people", in the
reddit sense of the term.
mircea_popescu: so today. with the
reddit of out of work waitresses and musicants
punkman: life's too short for reading what
reddit derps think
mircea_popescu: <shinohai> I see change.org as simply an outlet for the masses to feel as if they are inspiring social change. << well mostly it's an obama thing. guy made his own
reddit, somewhat more dysfunctional.
mircea_popescu: in any case,
reddit's gonna die its own, livejournal-y sort of death. digg iirc died when it crashed against a thick brick wall of "nobody cares".
mircea_popescu: i suspect it's alltogether more layered laziness, such as, "if i give up the delusion that my activity on the rickety house of cards we call
reddit matters, i will have to find other work to do as part of my being politically important, which is hard and risks requiring me looking up from the tablet or going out of starbucks. so let's instead pretend."
shinohai:
reddit is doomed to go the way of digg
mircea_popescu: sooo, i got a rather amusing internal report from
reddit. it would seem that
punkman:
reddit is getting too much airtime
shinohai: Have you guys seen that other voat-like site that popped up in the wake of the
reddit brouhaha? Lets you "upvote" with pencil-shavings of btc, ltc, and doge.
shinohai: No,
reddit prefers to offer their opinions on bitcoin, as if that helps.
BingoBoingo: <shinohai> Here is a different story. If someone expresses an interest in therealbitcoin I want to help, because more nodes. << First lesson of
reddit is randos don't run nodes
mircea_popescu:
reddit notably also publishes through an open process.
mircea_popescu: and the only place where this matters is
reddit, much in the way the only place you find bilge is down in the keel ?
assbot: [BRDSCUSSION]
Reddit is in the throes of a white supremacist meltdown regarding Black Lives Matter and Bernie Sanders : ShitRedditSays ... (
http://bit.ly/1huyVlB )
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Apparently much of
reddit was upvoating multiple posts of the #Blacklivesmatter Hamplanet who got a bernie sanders speech canceled as an /r/punchableface this was followed by
Reddit censorship in the name of Cliter. Now there's a fuckton of wholes becasue no one on
reddit uses archive.is
BingoBoingo: Oh, apparently
reddit admins just straight up changed the moderators of /r/PunchableFaces
mircea_popescu: yeah, because they didn't have
reddit yet. same govt jobs, tho.
assbot: [META] On hardforking: If Bitcoin is so vulnerable to
reddit posts and a man who codes in the open, that it requires censorship to stay safe, perhaps it is destined for doom after all. : Bitcoin ... (

mircea_popescu: this entire "monkey with electric typerwriter" pseudo-occupation play-pretend-job that unites gawker,
reddit and 4chan is NOT IN FACT WORK
mircea_popescu: why do you think people read
reddit ? it's got shannonappeal.
shinohai: I need a good virtual job, that
reddit shit that pays $5 in btc is pointless.
ascii_field: iirc already proposed in the mircea_popescu article re:
reddit spam
chetty: I wonder if being on the internet so much only makes you guys now see the 'west' as
reddit and there just might be actual civilization out there if you get off the computers.
mircea_popescu: for them
reddit IS the west, much like for yours truly, outlet store catalogues was
mircea_popescu: the only work they're capable of is
reddit shitslinging, and there's a ton of dudes doin that cheaper and better already. easily 100x what's needed anyway.
decimation: well, there's also the social status of being the old jew who owns
reddit mircea_popescu: anyway, re punkman's
reddit link - the tards miss the fruit and focus on the pit of that thing, as usual.
BingoBoingo: Oh and a qntra post just fell out of
reddit completely this time.
