So much of reddit is on smaller subs where vote fuzzing never or minimally effected vote counts. Fuzzing was most obvious in major subreddits with thousand+ active users

The Admins are right in saying that fuzzed counts were mostly illusionary, but subreddits like /r/photoshopbattles which based it's entire content selection on vote counts are now essentially broken. This is coupled with the fact that they didn't inform the dev. community at all, so pretty much every major reddit app is broken right now.

Basically, it's not surprising that people are upset about this, it was hasty and poorly implemented, and this says nothing about whether it's a good idea or not, just that this reality is why you're seeing so much backlash.

The way they implemented it was really weird too, not responding to community concerns like that is decidedly un-reddit and unfamiliar to say the least.

I have to agree, I don't believe this is the end of reddit, not at all. But this is the beginning of me at Hubski :)

This is the first I've heard of this and honestly from what I've read so far, it seems like people are criticizing her for speaking out, and this is exactly why she needed to speak out. The entire world needs to have a much more serious conversation about the equality of women and girls, because this is a pervasive issue everywhere.

Honestly my initial positive interactions with people like you really showed me how different this place is. It's a really neat community of people with diverse interest and everyone seems really accessible.

Kleinb00 muted me though and I'm sad panda about that because I can't comment on some cool stuff ;(

Me three. I'm really surprised by the reddit Admins lately, it's a shame. I actually really love how minimal the UI is here, the focus of community networking, plus hastags!

Hubski ♥︎

Anyone have any advice on who I should check out to follow?

oh god this is brilliant

Look at your hands. Are they strong? What about your arms? Muscular? Well, are they available for me to enjoy? No? THEN WHY ARE YOU SHOWING THEM? What kind of message do you think you’re sending?

Smallpools - "Dreaming" Those drums. I got recorded singing this terribly and still didn't care.

The 1975 - "Chocolate" His voice, trance-y, reverb-y music

Guy Sebastian - "Like a Drum" I love how he sings "like a drum" it's what made me addicted.

Very Loud - "Shout Out Louds" It's just driving and kinda punky folk

from the video:

MSNBC Reporter to Musk: "You know, I wonder what the more difficult challenge is, getting people to Mars, or getting a car battery to cost less than $5,000 dollars?"

Musk: "Uhm, well, I think probably, Mars."

Aw, see, now I feel like I'm intruding :/

I promise I'm not like them!

I try not to stand out

I would love if when going about life, day to day, I would never have to stand out.

Sort of like how most of nature doesn't really stand out, that's why instead of describing individual pieces we say "the scenery is nice"

I want to be scenery, but not the photographed scenery, but like secret scenery, the type that only a few know about and the regulars are just lovers who go there and make memories together.

This is huge but this isn't going to stop warrantless wiretaping.

This seems to apply to a physical search of your phone after arrest, where warrantless wiretaping is the cataloging and storing of communications.

I resonate very strongly with equity feminism, but not gender feminism.

feminism is about equality.

There's a reason why I much prefer the material put out by many older feminists instead of the younger. I think the younger movement has lost perspective.

How can you say younger feminists have lost "perspective", when you're not demonstrating one yourself? Without generalizing every single young feminist in the world your narrow scope falls apart.

I don't want to hear about how I'm a terrible person because I don't run around pushing their agenda when they don't run around pushing mine (male politics vs female).

Maybe you get that vibe because you admit you have an agenda of male politics vs female politics?

You seem to complain about being excluded or singled out by feminists, yet you're doing exactly what you disparage!

Unbelievable.

I can't tell if you're being sarcastic or attempting to be sincere. But regardless, acting like you should be thankful for minority status, and equating being upset about racism with frustrations of not being "left handed" is bullshit, I'm sorry for my potty mouth, but that's the most entitled, privileged drivel, I think I've read in recent memory.

"Place a hogtied woman on the train tracks, and witness her death by train."... You cannot gain the achievement by performing this act on a man.

No words, It's hard to really explain what I feel from that, that's just, shocking....

He says that he is a little bit racist, but he realises he is slightly less racist than his father, who was slightly less racist than his father, and he observes that this is progress.

I think this is complacency.

I will have to keep fighting this thing about myself. I will make mistakes along the way - my id will take over and I'll say the wrong thing from time to time.... I've come to terms with my own sexism.

Why stop at coming to terms, extirpate it.

I recognize the editor is admitting, "I'm sexist, I regret my actions", and it's notable that he's putting this out there in the hopes that others will make personal progress at recognizing the casual and gross sexism that exists in our societies. But the tone of this piece gave me the impression that while he acknowledges it, he won't ever be able to eliminate it.

He says:

I will make mistakes along the way - my id will take over and I'll say the wrong thing from time to time.

Preemptively apologizing for things that haven't occurred, for me, speaks to some sort of lack of resolution or lack of conviction at saying "I see what I'm doing wrong now and I'm done.", maybe it's a lack of confidence. I feel like a mindset of resolve is what will eventually conquer the wrongful nature that this person is becoming aware of.

This is really shameful I'm even answering this. I was a "popular" kid. The people I went to prom and homecoming with were the kings and queens, we partied in mansions on the weekends, our lunch table was typical popular cheerleaders and football players and lacrosse players and tennis players.

My high school was similar to what you see in the movies, graduating class of 1,000+ students with predominately affluent upper and middle class families.

The people that were my friends were mostly vapid privileged kids with powerful parents who it felt like the school catered to. Being associated with them did wonders for how teachers treated me, what my experience was like day to day, and also did nothing good for my ego.

I constantly felt like an outsider. While my best friend was getting a brand new candy red Mercedes on her 16th birthday, I scrounged up money working as a waitress and bought a falling apart truck that my mom made me buy stick shift(so uncool mom!) When prom dress shopping I would go with my girl friends and I would never buy a dress with them, I'd go with my mom later and buy whatever was on sale. If my friends wanted to go on overseas trips, or cruises, they wouldn't want to leave me behind so their parents would pay for me. I would never bring my friends to my mom's house because I felt almost embarrassed bringing them there. Can you believe that?

Stuff like that was really weird growing up and I look back on it and it doesn't really feel like it was me at all.

I can't believe I shared this.

I think that makes sense. Personally, coming from reddit to here, it's like standing in the center of Manhattan, to walking into a really local, familiar, coffee shop–Or I guess a bar, I'm just not really into bars haha

I don't think Hubski will see a mass migration or anything like that, I'm just happy what happened over at reddit ultimately because without that, I wouldn't have found Hubski! You people are so kind that it already feels like I've been here a while, I'm going to make myself comfortable and contribute what I can.

Thanks for answering my questions :)

ha! You're al! I'm here because of you. I saw your post on reddit, thanks al!

Thank you for welcoming me!! I don't think I'll be leaving either :)

Cheers!

does favoring the idea of Universal Basic Income make me socialist?

Using the word "nigger" or "faggot" in a comment results in an instant ban in /r/movies. Using the word retard results in an immediate comment removal. The counterargument is that both words have been reclaimed by their respective cultures... but the counterargument to that is that neither word has lost its hurtfulness and that "reclaiming" is a sad alternative to "retiring."

Those words shouldn't be used for a very simple reason.

When someone uses those words, they put themselves at odds with those who are offended by those words... by not using those words they are at odd with no one and experience concord

Campaign finance is something that I always see people up in arms about and I liken it to treating symptoms not the illness.

The USA needs constitutional reform.

There is a reason why we have a two party system. The USA has an outdated(we're the oldest constitutional republic) system called Single Member District representation, or SMD. SMD is a winner take all platform, one candidate receiving 51% of the vote, gets 100% of the power.

In more modern constitutional states, Sweden for example, they employ Multi-Member District representation, or MMD. This system allows for multiple parties. Ex. If one constituent gets 51% of the vote, one gets 24%, and the other gets 25%, they proportionally are represented in congress. So, two seats for the one with 50%, and one seat each for the two with 25% and 24% respectively.

Boom. Two party system demolished.

In Sweden, as little as 5% of the vote gets you a seat in parliament. I don't even think I need to link a chart demonstrating the positive effects this has on society(Sweden enjoys some of the most robust liberties and freedoms of all political systems).

These talks about campaign finance, they are a distraction, in my opinion, treating the symptoms and not looking for an actual cure. If the USA really wants to improve their government, and their country, we need Constitutional Reform.

I thought it was a cool thing I found on the internet, noticed it wasn't here, and wanted to share.

I didn't know that things found anywhere on the internet, except reddit, were okay.

Also, I didn't copy the title.

reading this causes the best auditory hallucination ever. great song

so I randomly start reading this and.... I noticed you wrote me into it. that really made my night!!! :):)

what inspired you to write all of this? it's imaginative, I'm so impressed, your writing is really inviting and enjoyable.

and that web design... tasteful

Yes they do and TPM(time, place, manner) gets very restrictive in pretty much every place that matters if you want to raise awareness to issues involving the ruling class.

Oh the hypocrisy.

oh that's great! thanks for explaining that to me delta

cheers!

what is this?

♥︎

That's wonderful, if I didn't think emigrating to Sweden as a single woman who doesn't speak Svenska would be so difficult... I'd do it. I really like the idea of Malmö
