    Right? Like what the fuck. I can’t imagine ever going, “haha look at Eric’s penis. AOC is a legend!” or anything. I like AOC because she doesn’t do things like that. And if she did things like that, I would lose respect for her.

    That was such a weird and weak “but both sides” attempt because it’s only based in a hypothetical situation where they can pretend they know how things will totally turn out.

    Edit: oh. Surprise. That koofnoof’s history is not surprising at all. Apparently thinks conservative ideas such as hating trans people isn’t hateful because “the true hate is from the trans people hating themselves”. I’ve never once yet ever on here or reddit seem a stupid “both sides” come from anyone even remotely left leaning. It’s always hateful bigots trying to say everyone is as much of a piece of shit as they are.

    To be fair, with a website as huge as reddit, a 25% or even 50% decrease in user activity probably won’t be that noticeable from someone like us. Instead of 2 million posts a day, it’s not now 1 million. Or instead of 500k, it’s 250k. None of those are knew we could feasibly differentiate.

    Maybe if you sit on r/all and keep track of how fast new posts are moving, but even then, the algorithm may still just move the same number of posts up and down the main pages. So even then, it would be hard to tell if usage is down.

    Now obviously there’s no way it’s down that much. It’s significantly lower. But I’m just saying even if we pretend that it was down that much, it would look like business as usual.

    Also, either way, I’m still glad to find this place. It feels nicer and offers what I wanted in a way reddit couldn’t.
