I can completely understand wanting to use reddit again (hope you stick with us too, if you do) but you should know it's super hard to get past any kind of permanent ban.
Did you use multiple reddit accounts or just one? the problem for me is that i got IP banned because they detected me logging in to a banned one on the same browser. It is borderline impossible for me to use reddit for commenting & posting again.
most of the people on it seem to be crazy or racist
Yeah I would credit that to twitter, which is how it spreads.
I'm not deep into the world of online blog congregators but I think medium is the clean alternative to Substack.
It's a place for twitter users to roleplay as intellectual essayists (okay some of them are totally worthwhile tbf) because twitter itself is designed for sharing brainfarts rather than cognizant thoughts
Yeah. Although, every baby boomer who's talked to me about catholic school seems really traumatised by it
I’ve taught him about “low quality” content and we’ve watched a couple so he could understand what I meant. Now, when he wants to watch something like that, I say “no, that’s going to be low quality,” he seems to understand and we move on to find something else.
Honestly never thought about how I would teach my (hypothetical, future) kid this stuff. I have the benefit of a decade of experience learning how youtube works and living through the clickbait endemic.
I guess that's why it's so important for parents to navigate YouTube together with them. My first experience of YT was also watching cool stuff like VSauce and Lego animations with my family.
That said, we were at a restaurant the other day and a woman was there with her baby and a friend. She set that infant in a high chair with AI slop on her phone right in its face. The kid definitely didn’t disturb her conversation, because it looked like a zombie. Godspeed, child
Sometimes you see toddlers who are just playing blaring loud noises from tablets at restaurants. You also see adults&teenagers doing that on trains... I guess I would point them out to my kid afterwards and say "that's what happens when you watch too mcuh brainrot!"
You can get banned from any community if the mods decide to - the good news is a communty called "ye power tripping bastards" which serves as the court to get an appeal, if that's important to you
