Don’t have their descriptions anymore since I logged off of RIF but they were all variations of the same sort of thing

30 minute episodes, yes. But over that I tend not to commit…

I will be interested in seeing if traffic here noticeably increases after today…

Same here. My domain name and email address will turn 30 next March. I’ve been doing this since the days when Usenet posts were transmitted across sites using UUCP.

We will always find the next place. Reddit has peaked and is destroying itself and it’s time to move on.

THIRTY SEVEN? Try not to make any new rules on your way to the parking lot!

I’m a RIF person myself but I have so much respect for Apollo and Christian’s work, even as I’ve never had the opportunity to use it, just from how he’s handled and documented this situation. I’m sad both Apollo and RIF are being taken from us and I hope Christian and Andrew find amazing success in whatever they decide to work on next.

They permanently banned my 9yo account with 2 million karma for using the “boxes of Liberty” metaphor in a highly up voted comment about Republicans taking away access to voting. They said it was a threat of violence. 🙄 Meanwhile fascists make literal death threats in conservative subs with no consequences.

The site has systematically been banning high volume contributors who aren’t right wing enough for at least the last 3 months. They, like Twitter, are trying to suppress the voices of people who are against fascism. It is deliberate and planned.

That’s roughly the speed at which these sorts of things would get identified on That Other Site™️, so that’s a good sign!

Thanks, I’ll do that!

I haven’t even visited the website version yet, so it never crossed my mind to try that. Thank you!

Interesting. I always wanted to play the drums but figured I was too uncoordinated.

OP, this person knows what they’re talking about. One of the screening questions when I was diagnosed with ADHD had to do with clumsiness. My own parents used to call me, “An accident waiting for a place to happen.”

I have slowly been able to improve my clumsiness a little bit, by exercising regularly with a trainer 5 days a week. One of those days is a balance-focused day and after 2.5 years I’m actually able to hold poses and (mostly) stay upright and steady. But it was SLOW going.

The night before my 50th birthday, after I had been taking this class for 7 months, my husband and I were on a sunset cruise and his phone fell out of his pocket and over the side of the ship. I reached out with one hand and successfully caught it. THAT KIND OF THING NEVER HAPPENS TO ME!

I celebrate that day every year as much as my birthday now. I managed to show off hand eye coordination before I was 50!

Get screened… :)

Yes, servers can disable downvotes. Beehaw does that, for instance. I’m on lemmy.world which allows both. I prefer both because I think it helps silence bad faith participation with less active moderation, but I respect that some places don’t want it.

Yeah I thought that whole “plea deal” was just a joke from a malignant narcissist, not a real plea deal.

Not to be That Guy (but promptly being That Guy) do you have a source? I’ve not seen anything about him asking for a plea deal. Thanks.

His persecution fetish is showing

It honestly sounds like the place is run like a clown car.

No, this loser has a persecution fetish, nothing more.

It feeds his narcissism to think people care that much offline.

Plot twist: All of this is made up.

What we outside fail to realize is these people live in a wholly different reality.

This.

I passed a church today with a sign saying, “The Bible is the absolute truth!” I realized that anyone who truly believes that bullshit - enough to make it a statement outside their church - is completely divorced from sanity.

These people do not perceive reality. At all. They are locked in a deranged fantasy world in their heads. They are severely deranged and their news sources and pastors work full time to keep them mentally ill and absolutely incapable of understanding reality.
