ColonelSanders, hace 1 año a RedditMigration en Reddit braces for life after API changes

It's weird to think about but for some reason that's my favorite go-to exclamation when I'm genuinely shocked at something.

"What in the Cinnamon Toast Crunch is that?!"

ColonelSanders, hace 1 año a RedditMigration en Ordinary redditors are feeling the pain as well.

I posted a similar comment elsewhere but along the same line of thought: The sad thing is that the masses that are still on Reddit at this point dgaf and will likely stay on Reddit forever. There's a real problem of Apathy in today's culture when people are just jonesing for their fix of daily content/memes, or at the very least nothing that disrupts the status quo. They don't give a fuck about "ideals" or what corporations do or farm from them so long as their instant gratification and daily intake of said content remains unchanged.

If you put the phone in airplane mode, you can get the app to load the UI at least. Doesn't do/mean anything but I suspect I'll be doing it out of nostalgia a lot in the coming months.

ColonelSanders, hace 1 año a RedditMigration en Well, it happened a bit earlier than I expected but I'm officially here now. Hello friends 👋

Thank you! I was racking my brain trying to recall the word/term for it and self-validation was the one I was trying to think of for the r/AITA, but you're absolutely right - it can be applied to r/UnpopularOpinion as well.

There's quite a few but I'll give my top 3:

r/TIFU and r/AITA - The former became a repository for preteen fanfiction and the latter became a place for confirmation bias/rhetorical questions looking for validation.

Then there's r/UnpopularOpinion which ended up being an oxymoron unto itself. I honestly don't understand how anyone thought that concept would work given that the literal point of a social media discussion platform, that utilizes an upvote/downvote system to determine visibility, is to push popular (highly upvoted) posts to the top/front. Very few people actually upvoted something that was unpopular and instead just upvoted the low hanging fruit popular opinion posts that were 'controversial' but still blatantly have a clear majority who support that side that OP took.

Are you talking about Steve The Pigboy Huffman? That Steve Huffman?
