Wait, that can't be right. No, I was just playing Smash Bros with my room mates a moment ago, like just… twenty … years ago … oh

I mean I am old, yes, but I feel like most North American millennials would get the same.

Occupy the bottom of the ocean!

I still have mixed feelings about deleting one’s whole comment history, though i also did that when I left reddit.

Same. I also did that. Mass edits + delete. I wish there was a way we could collectively move all that history to a non-commercial platform.

it’s the right thing to do, but the amount of information lost because of greedy leadership is super sad.

Also same. I backed up all my user data for sentimental reasons, but that's hardly enough to be of any utility on its own.

I really did feel like I was participating in a community, and was doing something positive with all my posting. I was just treating reddit like any other forum from my youth, not really thinking how ofc it would become commodified and enshittified.

I feel like such a fucking idiot sucker. Over a decade putting in time outside work, lunch breaks, toilet breaks, morning, evening, just contributing to an IPO package.

I don't think it's fair to tie history that far back to current people. Maybe it's context for what's going on now, idk, but it's wrong to point to it as some sort of gotcha.

There's more than enough damning history just looking back one week.

Their only utility now is in five year old comment threads discussing niche topics, and that can only stay relevant so long.

This was my biggest takeaway from watching the movie Perfect Days.

Two time boomeranging failson here.

I tried Lord how I tried. I fell flat on my face trying to make it on my own. Actually did wind up homeless for a stint. If I didn't have the option to crawl back home to lick my wounds, I'm not sure I would have made it.

Never really thought of the effect that "sometimes" has on a sentence, but now I see your point. God dammit, I think you've infected me with your knowledge. I hope the "sometimes" cop-out is not as wide spread as I fear...

Accelerationist claptrap. These people have given up hope for real progress, so they're going to hand over full control to the billionaires to see if that fixes things.
