    I recommend to either;

    • Use RSS feed to view Reddit posts.
    • Curate it very tightly if you want to stay on Reddit.
    • Do not post or comment a lot (if at all).
    • Post your question/ discussion on Lemmy.

    Personally, I have noticed a lot of hostility on Reddit, a lot more than it was before. Bots and people just post bait content and comments to stir up anger of people.

    Plus Moderators on Reddit are just power tripping people. They feel high and mighty because of the volunteered position they have. It’s their way of coping with the fact they have to deal with unnecessary problems and conflicts for free.

    I curated the Reddit feed on RSS but had to already delete 4-5 subreddits from the RSS feed due to the continuous bait posts.






  • I had this conversation about privacy a week ago with a colleague. Not sure if it matters but she’s 21. She’s addicted to TikTok and was wondering why I did not use it.

    I told her, I don’t trust the makers of it and don’t trust the country the app comes from (China, CCP). I half explained it was because of privacy issues. She looked me dead in the eyes and said “I don’t have anything to hide”.

    So I simply said something along lines of;

    “of course you don’t. The messages you sent to your boyfriend are not of intimacy things right? Certain pictures you send. Political conversations, your behavior patterns, religion. None of that matters right? Until it can be all used against you. If you care enough, I recommend to just research a couple of things up. Like for example Facebooks Cambridge scandal and Meta’s meddling with politics. Now imagine that from your own government”.

    But of course, she shrugged it off and said she did not care.
