New reddit meta - post videos of your favorite musicians (who all happen to be white) stopping their shows to stop a crowd crush happening.
They're just all dripping so wet with racism. Big "you can't spell crap without rap" energy on literally every post.

This is currently the post on the front page about this and there are two rappers on it who were among the most upvoted over the last day or two, so I'm not sure on that take, but the whole thing has been pretty cringe regardless (both Travis Scott's psychopathy and Reddit's reaction to it)

Decentralise social media is a dumb loving idea. It's just nerds who think throwing the Blockchain at everything will legitimise it despite it never helping anything.

If you thought karma whoring was a problem when it was just for emotional validation, wait until you see what this dismal vision of the future makes reality.

Can someone sit me down and explain to me why this isn't just making reddit more of a walled garden by incentivising constant engagement?

And how this addresses any of the concerns over sale of data and lack of privacy.

No web3 jargon.

It's just a way to get people to install the reddit app. In order to collect these fake internet points (that are only different than those other fake internet points because they destroy the environment to generate these ones) you have to install their mobile app.

Child porn for everyone on demand? When I see a Reddit post with the buzzword “Permissionless” that always seems to be in the background somewhere…although I guess having “crypto” attached means it’s not in the background as much.

Obviously you don’t use Gentoo. (Me, either, dude!)

Edit:
Maybe even “ feeemales who are beneath you” would hop on if your view of them was less red-flagged misogynistic on your sleeve. Girls (even when you have abs!) pick up on that, even the girl-next-door who doesn’t just gently caress because of a nice “taper.” Desperation-to-lose-the-V-card oozes from your pores, and ladies of all shapes and sizes can literally smell that even if they are not consciously aware of it. Put down Tinder for a bit, maybe say “Hi,” before you whip it out. I’ve never even seen my abs, and I have a grown son already in an adult relationship…it’s like most gals almost like guys that enjoy being around them even when they aren’t naked!

The weirdest thing is they are so deep into the "the only reason to have sex is to orgasm" pool. Like, that there's no other possible reason. If you just want an orgasm then yeah I guess just jerk it.

If you can't think of any other reason other than getting off to have sex with another person then you're the sort of person who shouldn't have sex.
