Por que no los dos?

Until we drop First Past the Post voting for Ranked Choice, we will never be free of the regressive portions of the democratic party.

TO BE CLEAR: This isn't a 'both sides' argument. Only one party tried to overthrow a legal election by force.

That said, voting blue is only necessary because we realistically have no other choice under our current voting structure.

I love this personally. The admins had a vision for the future that was not based in any form of reality, but rather the same wealth extraction tactics that have collapsed so many other services.

Anyone who remembers the Digg exodus, there are reflections of that in reddit's stittastic new policies.

Just more proof that enshittification isn't a slow erosion of quality over time but rather direct actions taken by a profit-seeking leadership.

If you go back now and look in older technically complex threads it is a wasteland of [Deleted] and various account scrubber script Lorem Ipsum as a good chunk of decent contributors have left and burned their accounts.

Looking forward to the day that they don't prop up google anymore.

It's true, been fucked for years now.

The profit motive rots everything it touches

Tencent owns Larian

Tencent already has Larian and they did a great job with BG3 so what's your issue?

As long as they don't try to turn it into a microtransaction hell like only being able to play the classes you bought in their store, it's going to be no different except Tencent has a ton of money for funding.

I think you are mistaking infiltration for 'getting spread out too far'.

Nearly all of what you describe can be most easily attributed to planted agitators.

Well that's a relief. I got kicked from lemmy.world for a similar sentiment.

Was worried the infection was inescapable.
