This opinion is so ignorant, gatekeepy and out of touch that I have no idea where to even begin.

This should be fun

I’m not upvoting this.
it’s a fantastic, well-reasoned post, but I don’t believe it’s an unpopular opinion to at all.
The public conversation around DEI is highly polarized which creates a false impression that a balanced, pragmatic view like this is rare. I think you’ve articulated a middle ground that most people hold

Any intentional choice made to capture human attention functions as an algorithm.

For instance, when a creator posts an intentionally silly title, it triggers a predictable urge in users to comment on that silliness. This deliberate cause-and-effect cycle means the creator’s strategy itself is the engagement-driving algorithm. A good example of this human-designed system is ragebaiting which systematically uses manufactured outrage to multiply views and comments

How dare you come here with your sound logic and reason that makes sense

God that looks good.
I’m a sucker for shitty food porn

This is actually great!
Social media sites should do this. There’s never a good reason to be on [Insert Corporate Slop Social Media Website here] at 3AM.

“How do you know someone’s not a vegan? They’ll tell a vegan.”

I appreciate that! I’m not sure which communities I could cross-post cel-damage content to, but I like that that’s a native feature.

I used to watch it every Sunday morning before church when I was a wee lad. The whole show is available on YT btw

Por que no los dos?

I’m not a furry but I’d 100% wear this shirt in public. it’s hilarious.

This is great news! I appreciate how Reddit is taking the initiative to spread awareness of the Fediverse. Bravo to them!

Random but in Afrikaans, oom means uncle. Thought that was mildly humorous.

Any good thing is ruined once it’s co-opted by capitalism.
AI and LLMs (In my very very personal and completely subjective opinion) is the coolest shit humanity has ever invented and under the right system would’ve been unanimously celebrated.
But noooooooo, capitalism had to go and fucking turn a miraculous tool for human creativity and knowledge into a relentless driver of layoffs, corporate slop and copyright theft because some greedy fucks want more money for themselves than they know what to do with.
But, well, that’s just, like, my opinion, man.

I appreciate the heads-up, and honestly the original reddit community was pretty much completely dead as well, so I’m not really expecting much to come of it. I’m mainly creating this and some other communities here because there are subreddits dedicated to them, but since I don’t want to use reddit I’m creating them here instead. Whether they’re much busier if at all is not an expectation for me, i’d just like to centralize my communities here moving forward ^-

Yes, it’s the PS2/GC game from the early 2000’s. As far as I am aware the scene is pretty much completely dead. The latest re-release was on the Nintendo Switch on the 28th of March 2019, and someone submitted a new WR 5 months ago on the Xbox Series S. So there’s still a pulse, but not much of one lol. This game just has a special place in my heart and I wanted to see if anyone else here actually remembers it or still holds the same reverence for it as I do

I crimethink, therefore I crimeam
