all of these changes reek of desperation. i’m deeply curious as to what’s going on behind the scenes at reddit HQ

ok but how about you tell me why to move from mastodon to firefish?

i haven’t had prime in years and am doing just fine. spoiler alert: you still get free shipping from amazon without prime. you just don’t get 2 day shipping, which is an unnecessary luxury.

why i hate your beehaw post: it’s carried by episodic discussion points

I’ll miss what Reddit was but not what it’s become. Good riddance to yet another enshittified social media site.

Sounds reasonable to me. Thanks for laying out the admin team’s rationale in a calm and collected manner.

be the change you want to see in the world.

Among the findings of the 92-page report, which follows an investigation launched in April 2021, the department uses excessive force, including unjustified deadly force; unlawfully discriminates against Black and Native American people, and violates the rights of people engaged in protected free speech. The department and city also discriminate against people with behavioral health disabilities when responding to calls.

Jesus christ. I can’t say I’m surprised, but seeing it written out like this really solidifies how absolutely god-awful our PD is.

Edit: wow, the more I read the worse it gets. Here’s a horrific little story:

In another [case], a white man in a mental health crisis was handcuffed to a stretcher when he spat at an officer, who slapped and punched him.

“I’m really proud of myself; I only hit him twice,” the offer said on body worn camera. The supervisor did not refer that officer for a misconduct investigation.

Great job you fucking piece of shit, you only assaulted him instead of murdering him.

Spoiler alert: AI is ML is Big Data.

Good.
