Why don't you use your own words?

Twitter by the looks of things.

And you should be able to say that as loudly and as often as you like!

people you willfully offend.

Lmao anyone offended because someone criticised their latest marvel slop or videogame deserves to be their head shoved in a toilet.

I think downvotes produce participation anxiety and Hexbear not only doesn't have them but also promotes a not-giving-a-fuck mentality to posting.

The problem here is that all of these people have turned their consumer choices into their identities and thus they feel personally attacked whenever they hear criticism of the products they consume.

It's incredibly unhealthy and something everyone should work to weed out of their mindset if they want to grow as a person instead of being perpetually unhappy because others criticising things isn't going anywhere.

What is happening over there is one of the biggest disasters I've ever seen online and the fact that it's going unreported on while Twitter and Musk continue to get all the attention is absolutely ridiculous. Reddit is collapsing and unless they do something enormous it is currently in a death spiral.

Go to literally any subreddit, scroll to the comments per day graph and check out the drop on July 11th. The official date of the change was July 1st but they delayed it or something with a grace period. That drop on July 11th is the api drop.

Some examples in order - /r/mildlyinfuriating /r/whitepeopletwitter /r/gaming /r/Askreddit

When reddit shut down their api every single subreddit on the site went down in comment activity by 75% or more. Comment activity has only been decreasing in the month since then. Post activity has been in decline as well.

Whether this means people stopped using the site entirely or not is up for debate. But in terms of damage to the community on the site it is the single biggest social media failure I have seen on the web since Digg. Even Musk hasn't damaged Twitter as much as the api change has damaged reddit.

I think it's worth keeping in mind that for some of this you'll need to use more than one platform for a while. Sports content was one of the last things that really popularised on reddit and that's because it's less popular among early adopters, who tend to be more into tech than physical activities.

By posting the extremely apolitical art-style that venerates capitalism lmao
