I'll have to check that Alan Cross podcast out. I used to love his History of New Music shows on the radio. I never really got into the podcast thing, but I could see myself getting into one if it was hosted by him

I used to like Ubuntu, but I got so sick for not being able to do things due to packages being out of date, and/or snaps getting in the way.

I ditched it for arch and I'm so much happier

If CanCon gave more visibility to ALL Canadian artists, sure. The way it is on the radio, it seems that you don't have to be a good Canadian band, you just have to be a Canadian artist.

uBlock, Revanced, and yt-dlp still 100% free lol

Content creators need to consider looking into alternative platforms though. Seems like YouTube is hellbent on self destruction.

Soooooo we just allow bikes in the lanes with the cars, which will create even more congestion.

Classic conservative reactionary bullshit. You have to literally have 0 brain to think this is a good idea.

Worst part was, it was all really civil I thought. Like, "Hey, this sounds like X but it might be Y"

Turns out the dude was a piece of shit, but still... While I consider myself pretty left leaning, I also like to make sure I've got my fingers pointing in the right direction. Call the piece of shit out for cases where they are without a doubt being a piece of shit. Not for areas where there some room for personal interpretation.

But according to some mods, we should just blast people over anything regardless of verifiability. And trying to further explain the dangers of enforcing nonsense like they're doing is apparently considered harassment.

Their approach:

Me: Appalling the ban, stating the nuance of the post.

Mods: "No, don't contact us again."

Me: Huh? But this, though...
Mods: "No, contact us again and we'll report you for harassment"

Me: I'm all for pointing fingers, but this is dangerous...
"We're muting you now, and also reporting you for harassment"

Reddit admins: "How dare you harass the mods with civil conversation! 7 day ban!"

Me: Appealing Reddit ban, stating the only harassment thus far has been from the mods. Show me where I was harassing.
Human admin: Nope, harassment. Ban staying.

Meanwhile, conspiracy, conservative, and canada subreddits continue to exist no prob...

Reddit can't die soon enough. It's clear that the site is compromised big time.

It's cool you can call stuff out on here. I tried that on Reddit and got banned. Then called out the mods and got banned from the site for harassment 🤷‍♂️

Reddit can't die off fast enough. It's clearly past its prime

Oh no... So anyways lol

What do you expect from a conservative government? This cuts into oil consumption and green alternatives. Can't have that!

They should try lowering prices and paying their workers better. I suspect that would drive down violence far more than cameras.

But this probably has nothing to do with safety and everything to do with employee surveillance with a pinch of voyeurism.

The motion contains absolutely nothing

Right, so on par with literally every mouth noise PP has ever made

I would rather see improved tax brackets to get money back into the economy by forcing the rich to either pay more in taxes, or steal less from the employees thus paying them a fair share (which in turn will actually be spent and fed back into the economy)

 

As a 10+ year Reddit user, I recently made the jump here to Lemmy and was hoping to re-join some of the old groups. Is there a running list somewhere of all the groups on here that started as subreddits?

What's the right term for them, anyway? Group? Sublemmy? Community?
