Reddit old-timer from Toronto here. Happy to see how fast the Fediverse is evolving thanks to u/spez. Feels like the internet again.
Yo can buy wine and beer in corner stores and drink in parks all over Quebec and it’s not a problem. Ontario isn’t different, except for the persistent smell of prohibition (which started in Ontario!).
They said the same thing about weed stores and there hasn’t been any increase in accidents.
Those who want to drink will drink, making it more accessible won’t change that. It’ll be nice not having to drive multiple kilometres to get a sixpack.
They’re cutting a ton of good union jobs and offshoring as much as possible while being crazy profitable. This is so fucked up.
What sucks is there’s still a few very good subs with big communities that don’t seem to be moving to the fediverse, which is still too geeky for a lot of people. However, now that Reddit is banning active members and moderators, it’s a matter of weeks until the whole thing turns into 4chan-on-a-bad-day. At this rate we’ll all get back to usenet by 2024.
So… what’s the news?
AC has gone to absolute shit. I fly internationally and pay extra to not fly with them due to past experiences. They still owe me thousands of dollars for “lost” luggage and hotel nights last year and I hope to never fly with those bozos ever again. AC management being shit is one thing, the way the agents treat passengers is another level of insult.
Conservatives being hypocritical bastards? I’m shocked - SHOCKED.
Well, not anymore!
Reddit has made it easy now that my mobile apps are gone. Also, my main account got permananned on Tuesday apparently out of comment posted 5 years ago about spez. Also, a niche sub I followed was taken over by a Nazi when the historical mod got kicked out by reddit and now that’s gone too.
Reddit has slipped into being irrelevant very quickly.
