Surprising nobody, Reddit Corp threatening a gaming sub of a fanatically anti-corporate video game doesn’t go as they’d hoped.
The mod team have basically decided that “Fuck Reddit” is the way forward, and appear to have practically total support of their entire sub for the choice taken.
Presumably, we’re about to get a Cyberpunk community on Fediverse soon. :p
I can’t help but think of 4chan’s unofficial tagline of “trolls trolling trolls trolling trolls”.
The joke used to be that “everyone on Reddit is a bot except you”, but as that has become more a reality than a joke, it’s morphed into “text-AIs trolling text-AIs trolling text-AIs”.
A shame it doesn’t [t]roll off the tongue quite as nicely.
Am I also a large language model? Let me answer that with another question:
Do you remember that bit in The Matrix Reloaded where Agent Smith occupies Bane out in “reality”?
Haha. Nothing like that. I’m human. Honest.
Nice try bot.
My programmer needs a kicking because the [unrepeatable] gave me anxiety.
I’ve taken acid then tried to use reddit in the morning. I felt like everyone was a bot.
You took acid in the morning? Do you believe in nothing?
What do you do? Stay up all night and look like a twacked out dishwasher that just got off a split double?
I’d say the morning is the best time to take acid. You can’t sleep on it anyway. So spend your 12 hours of happy bliss doing something fun and productive, maybe outside in the fresh air. It’s probably good for your mental health to have a fun day out on acid.
TWELVE? I’m lucky if I get four hours out of a 10mg dose of marijuana. Then again, I’m not hallucinating for twelve hours…
You weren’t on acid … or on reddit … or even a computer … and it wasn’t morning … but everyone was still a bot
