Maybe, but I still use Reddit occassionally for a few niche subreddits. The majority of them I’ve replaced on the fediverse.

I heard of an individual that would use hand towels as disposable wipes. They would just buy new ones and throw out the dirty ones instead of washing them.

Yes. I think we were talking around each other a bit. I was interested in attacking the statement, “We don’t need redditors here.” It sounded like you were defending that statement with your “Why?” question. The second half of your statement was definitely in line with the main point I’m trying to get across.

All good links, thanks for sharing!

Because discriminating against a group of people based only on one factor is a terrible idea.

Let’s stick to judging users individually based on their actions rather than lumping everyone who came from reddit into the same category.

It’s not an easy thing to learn how to deal with, but it’s always good to try to deescalate situations when possible.

There are different ways to handle it, humor is one method. So, if someone accuses you of being a bot, you can reply with something like, “Hello, fellow human, I am most certainly a human replying in the most humane way possible”.

Additionally, attack the argument, not the person. If someone claims something that you didn’t say, focus on that. Try to leave out any insults since that will just escelate the situation.

If all else fails, just block and report. Some instances here are known for dogpiling when someone’s opinions are seen as a threat to their own beliefs.

What’s with the hostility against redditors? A large number of us came here from reddit during the API apocalypse. We should be welcoming additional redditors. Not shunning them.

What’s with all the hostility in this post? A lot of it seems uncalled for.
