This is it exactly.
And I kind of like that there are no total upvote/downvote stats tied to our accounts.
Prevents karma farming so it disinclines the behavior to rage-bait or post controversial items for attention.
(Remember u/unidan? Guy karma farmed hugely and eventually got rumbled creating some brouhaha over the difference between crows and jackdaws. Absolute stupidity that got the better of him…)
The content is more the focus here…
The weird thing is apparently, I wasn’t allowed to delete my account last night. I thought I did, but I went back not too long ago and on a lark, signed in again. Account’s empty of all my unarchived posts - since I deleted it all, but I still have access. Think I’m going to see if the PM’s work and just start hoovering interesting articles and items from there. WTF, it’s not like I didn’t bring content to the site… Gonna take the best of it back and bring it here. Fuck it.
I think it’s weird that a 21-23-year-old dating an older person is really weird and inappropriate…
Honestly, often for younger women it’s a romp with somone that knows what they’re doing.
The BEST lay of my 20 years old life - and i’m now married for 30+ years - was a 45 year old guy and we hit it off for a few glorious months of sex that was incredible. Man knew EXACTLY what he was doing and twisted me up into positions I couldn’t get into now if the husband and I tried…
The whole idea that it’s unnatural or weird is an odd one. I worked for a ton of men that worked like slaves though their youth to get successful and in their 40’s finally found young women to start beautiful families with.
I was a 14 years long redditor that was more into the arts and graphics and from the time of the IPO, my feed pivoted to much more rage-bait content and subs appearing on my homepage that were completely unknown to me. Definitely some site-wide fuckery going on, that’s changed the nature of that beast. Moreso now since they have corporate investors and within the last week or so, a whole bunch of bad reports about the data not being used for AI training as much as they hyped it up. Methinks they’re pivoting to the right in order to appease their investors…
AI, maybe, but upheld by a person upon appeal.
I honestly think those appeal responses are bullshit and no one is actually reading them. Maybe paid members will have their appeals looked at but I doubt anyone else does.
That is what happened to me… the bots banned me within a minute for a metaphorically based - though salty - post. 14 years.
Thing is, I noticed a change in the algorithm not too long after the IPO since my homepage started in with more rage-bait subs and many were ones I’d not visited or even heard of. It was subtle but also kinda disheartening. I decided to manually delete all of what I could and as I was going through the posts I noticed that the art subs I used to go to had all but disappeared on my home page.
I used to go to photoshopbattles all the time and as I was scrolling my home pages, it was nowhere to be seen. Nor was AppleHelp, VintageApple or MacPro…
Delete all your Reddit bookmarks and favorites and find a lemmy community to launch yourself into. I picked gaming and a few news ones and so far, it’s fine… Even moreso that I found the old.lemmy.zip page and it’s comfortable to me as I was dedicated to old.reddit and RES.
A 56 y/o half-brother that I would do almost anything for and a step-sister that… well… whatever.
