I absolutely mourn the loss of a useful tool and my awesome communities. but I’m pretty excited to be watching something new grow out of it.

I could use a boost! I’m already in the weeds!!

I did both!

I wish I could upvote you twice.

I clicked the link and thought, I’ll read this and be done. RIF is also kaput. I’ve decided to keep it installed because all my Reddit links default to RIF and this way I won’t accidentally give Reddit any traffic.

unless they’ve uploaded his consciousness to another computer, which I don’t think they can do yet… if you destroy the machine, you destroy the man.

hooray! I’m so glad I could help.

also according to this strangely written article the design request in question was fabricated …

I’m already disheartened after a single day because I did in fact engage in a thoughtful discourse but was summarily reprimanded. I was hoping this environment would be different than the echo chamber that was Reddit.

I hope it’s not.

let me start by acknowledging that I merely wanted to express that it’s not just “extreme right buffoonery” that’s a problem. to claim that there is no such thing as “extreme left
buffoonery” is misleading.

my comment clearly stated that the extremes on both ends are to be despised. politics is a game I don’t wish to be judged on because I’m seriously apolitical. we do need to meet in the middle. I’m not saying we need to forgive the “buffoonery” but cut out the rotten fruit and make a fucking jam. ideals are not arbitrary in any way. our ideals are built through life experience. I’m seeing a whole lot of each side trying to dehumanize the other for not agreeing with their politics. The “right” has rational, reasonable, kind humans who believe in human rights. but the fact that they may have a stance on the nanny state that the country is becoming somehow makes everyone who’s not a professed Democrat evil.

regarding hate speech, frankly I’ve experienced more than my fair share. but that doesn’t count, right?

I don’t tolerate hate speech, on either side of the fence.

Thank you for calling that out.

I may have misunderstood the intent of the post. sometimes I skim without meaning to.

how did this discussion devolve into Nazis? I’m afraid you’re probably part of the problem.

it’s important to see that both sides have extremes and to assume that anyone who tips the scale “left” or “right” is somehow more right or more wrong is what keeps us from being able to find common ground. turning the words “conservative” and “liberal” into slurs is equally damaging. we both have ways of lashing out at each other when we are not the enemy. I bet we can agree that extremism is dangerous regardless of which side of the fence it resides on.

left, right. up, down. it’s just a way to divide us so we aren’t united against the common enemy…

I included a link to kbin in my “removed” comments.

RIF is working for me.
