LG ⛄️ (@cracking18beers) reported@ryenarussillo It’s legitimately always bad. The general public has terrible takes and we see all of them on Twitter or Reddit anyways. It might have been good pre-social media but we already know what the fanbase thinks all the time. I absolutely want to hear less from them.

Tratte Buzun 👻 (@Faheem_xxii) reportedX is still the best place on the internet to watch a fight break out in public. That’s the job it won. Most people just forgot they came here for other jobs. Every “Twitter killer” tried to beat this app at being this app. The platforms that actually matter didn’t. They beat it at one thing X is mediocre at, then stayed there. 1. Bluesky You can swap the algorithm. Custom feeds, blocklists that travel, a timeline that isn’t a single company’s mood. 2. Threads Casual reach without living inside a riot. If you already have Instagram, the graph does the hard part. 3. Mastodon Chronological. No ads. You pick the server, which means you pick the culture. Small on purpose. 4. Reddit A good thread still works two years later. Search engines send people there when they want a human answer, not a performance. 5. Discord A room, not a stage. Voice, roles, memory. The people who actually like your work end up here. 6. Substack The audience is an email list. Platforms can change the rules. Inboxes don’t forget you overnight. 7. YouTube The only major feed where a long piece of work can still pay like a job. Slow to grow. Brutal to ignore once it works. 8. TikTok Strangers can find you before you’re famous. X mostly amplifies people who already have a crowd. 9. LinkedIn Ugly, stiff, and occasionally useful in the way a handshake is useful. Conversations there turn into invoices more often than dunks do. 10. Telegram Broadcast to people who opted in. Groups, files, channels, no “For You” deciding whether your own audience sees you. 11. Nostr Your identity is a key, not a username a company can freeze. Ugly UX. That’s the trade. 12. Farcaster Social as something developers can build on, not just post into. Tiny compared with this site. Different category. 13. Lemmy Forums without one company’s policy stack. Federated Reddit, with all the mess and independence that implies. 14. Circle / Skool A community you host instead of rent. Paid rooms beat public replies if the goal is retention, not spectacle. 15. A newsletter Beehiiv, Buttondown, even a plain list. Boring infrastructure. The only distribution channel you actually own. None of these replace X. X is still unmatched for live news, high-velocity argument, and the feeling that the whole internet is in one room. That room is loud, rented, and optimized for the fight. The quiet shift isn’t migration. It’s specialization. People kept the stadium for the game and moved everything else somewhere they can hear themselves think.

Grant Miller (@AIGuide_) reportedthis is NOT the time to build another tool nobody asked for... you're sitting on more leverage than any marketer in history had with a team of 20... research, copy, outbound, creative, all of it, in a $200/month login the window won't stay this empty so lock in on SELLING, on turning AI into clients that pay, nothing else here are 5 plays that change how much you make this quarter: - deep research on your niche's top offers, their reviews and your own sales calls, into a knowledge base that writes copy in the customer's words - scrape the leads, read the competitors' 1 star reviews, build outbound that gets replies - post the results every day and grow an audience on receipts - take the free distribution, Reddit is one of the most cited sources in AI answers now, answer questions there for 30 days - write the pages that answer what buyers ask ChatGPT, Google's AI Overviews are taking the clicks anyway

bobby (@Bobby1489356) reported@imlaurax Severance on Apple TV. The fan theories and engagement is top tier. Also not a current show but Dark on Netflix sent me down an absolute rabbit hole of reddit threads.

Naveen (@thewidellens_) reportedA resource does not stay free because it has no value. It stays free because nobody with leverage has yet decided it is worth pricing. Three very different organizations just proved this in three very different ways this year. Value and price are not the same thing. Community discussions, curated knowledge, technical documentation, all of it can carry enormous value while carrying a price of zero, simply because nobody built a mechanism to extract that value at scale before now. A new extraction mechanism changes the equation regardless of what the owner does. AI systems consume content at a scale nothing before them could, so content too diffuse to ever bother pricing suddenly aggregates into something genuinely valuable in bulk. The content did not change. The economics around it did. Rising demand creates leverage, but only for whoever acts on it first. Reddit blocked AI crawlers from its entire domain the same week it joined the S&P 500, converting an assumption into a negotiated asset overnight. Wikipedia, a nonprofit funded by donations, signed paid Enterprise licensing deals with Microsoft, Meta, Amazon, and Perplexity in January, after bot traffic drove its bandwidth costs up 50 percent, bots responsible for 65 percent of its most expensive server requests. Even a mission driven organization recognized the same leverage. News publishers show the scale in dollars, OpenAIs licensing deal with News Corp alone is reported at 250 million dollars over five years. Stack Overflow shows what happens when you wait. Its question volume collapsed from 200,000 a month in 2014 to 50,000 by late 2025, as developers simply asked AI models instead. It had to rebuild its entire business model after the fact, far more painful than a single configuration file, because it reacted only once the value had already left. One honest caveat, no single publisher holds dominant leverage, even the largest deals number in single digits, AI companies are deliberately spreading their sourcing. The leverage is real, it is not unlimited. If your organization sits on content it has never priced, that silence is a decision, made by default, and the value does not stay available to claim indefinitely.

BoS Knight Bruhtopius (@Bruhtopiav2) reported@Herpderp123123 @PupAceOfficial @Pirat_Nation If they have nothing to hide they have nothing to fear. If their game isn’t dogshit why worry about leaks? If they have no problem stealing millions of user data from reddit, discord, google, and x, I really have no problem with their stuff being combed into as well.

P (@betweenprompts) reportedYou are dealing with a tense family or relationship issue. Is the hardest part figuring out what's fair, or figuring out how to say it? I keep seeing situations where someone clearly needs to communicate a boundary, frustration, or hurt, but they're also worried about sounding cruel, dramatic, or selfish. I'm wondering if people would actually use a simple tool that helps turn a messy situation into: - a calm version of what you mean - a boundary that doesn't sound like an attack - a text you could send - a few things not to say if you want the conversation to go well Would that be useful, or is this the kind of thing people would rather ask Reddit about every time?

WanderWit (@TheWanderWit) reported@Cha_Racs @Alaygroundss @trashjuiceprism I’ll be waiting for you to explain how a slow subsonic bomber is going to survive a minimum of 2 hours in the most dense and protected airspace in the world. And let me guess, the mighty Chinese SAMs that Iran/Venezuela has that none of you people can conveniently ever show. Go back to NCD Reddit ****** with your 3GD fan fiction and retarded fluff.

John Bald (@JohnBaldLangLit) reportedApologies. @Miss_Snuffy is not the headteacher at Michaela. There is no such post. She is the headmistress. PS. @RoehamptonUni has said that it received no complaints about Dr Arday's teaching. This student, whose piece was reprinted in The Telegraph, said, on Reddit, that she complained to the head of her course, who investigated, agreed with her, and then advised her to drop the matter as Dr Arday was about to leave. Another cover up. Here is what she wrote "I complained to the head of the course we were on about his teaching (I played her a recording of part of one lecture - this was something I was allowed to do due to my own dyslexia) and how I felt he was failing the students and she agreed to sit in on one of his lectures, after which she met with me and agreed that his teaching was as I described it however she asked me not to take it further as he would be leaving shortly and she would apparently be taking over the module for the Spring term and she didn't want to cause trouble when he was leaving anyway. She did not explain why he was leaving but I understood it was to take up a post at Warwick."

⚡️ Simon Jensen ⚡️ (@Simonij_dk) reported@dorcas1uk0 @marclou Reddit is on the list, yes, though I want to show up there as a person rather than a launch post. r/privacy and r/productivity have very good radar for someone who only turns up to sell something. My plan is to answer email questions for a while first and mention Stamp only when it is actually relevant. Have you seen that slow approach work, or does it just get lost?

🔆 @finite@mastodon.social (@finitecrystal) reported@DreamLeaf5 Reddit is also just a ********. Most subreddits don't care if you discuss **** that's blatantly illegal all day long but the mods of every trans culture subreddit are obnoxious ******* cops about everything. I guess they're paranoid about reddit's chud admins coming down on them.

Nicotine Dreamer (@cold_and_quiet) reportedFor any of my followers who need a high paying job but are currently locked out of white-collar work or just trying to break into it after graduating - this is what I would do if were in that position. Id go on fiverr or upwork and start trying to do software dev/data science/AI dev gigs. Do a few portfolio projects and attach them to your profile. Use AI and make reddit posts if you need help doing these - that should allow you to work through any issues. Do the first few for free if you need to. Take a 101 course in the discipline you choose. You dont need to be an expert - you just need to not be obviously retarded. If not having any experience is a filter - lie and pretend you have a couple years and were laid off bc of AI automation - then once you have experience remove the lie - but only lie if you have to because the likelihood of being caught is not very low. Do the jobs well and ask them for a review. Keep this up for a few months then open a linkedIn and post there regularly about your work. Hire a professional to make your profile good and ask them how to maximize engagement. Market yourself as an independent builder and self-starter. Keep it up and youll start being noticed. You may think that LinkedIn is tapped out as a platform and you cant impress recruiters there. Youd be wrong. One of the gigs may offer you a full time role. Take it even if it kinda sucks - once you get a job then you can start looking for better ones (utilize LinkedIn) - and its always easier to find a job if you have one. In interviews do not talk about work youve done for free - recruiters care about the work that makes money - stress the value youve added. Lie a little (everyone does) but not a lot (they can usually tell if you do). The spray and pray approach may work well for this stage in your career. There are services you can pay to apply to 1000s of jobs for you. Use one. Hire an interview coach - they should help you prepare for harder interviews. Take the highest offer you get - be skeptical about promises of equity or upward mobility. Complete these steps and you should be on your way out of the underclass.

Diego Rojas Ruz (@diegorojassr) reportedNot what I pictured doing between classes, but spent most of today in replies and DMs across X, Reddit, and Discord. Same pattern every time once you scratch the surface with a Shopify + Amazon seller, nobody's watching the sales tax nexus side until it's already a problem.

ZetaRho (@ZetaLogo) reported@CommanderRedEXE @FinnyJr03 yawn, I don't use reddit, not worth installing the app and pretty sure on mobile browser you're softlocked to use the app, if you can't read for long that's not my problem, wikipedia can be listened to and sources are cited for your convenience, at your lesiure though

Hasan (3dblur) (@3dblurss) reportedbest thing i got outta this was @FarzaTV saying index on inspirations - "how can i feel inspired in a given day" sounds so simple you dont even bat an eye, but damn, thats literally where everything flows downstream from and the days that i feel low, down and less confident are the days i'm not feeling inspired, even by the smallest things. and a random creator or a random article or a random reddit post, inspiring me in any way, just changes everything.

Levi the tax collector (@ClowLevi) reported@FiftyFootNest Pretty much true. There is a Reddit post from an Ontario family doctor that outlines the payment schedule family docs get based on their visits. My family doc wants me to see him like 10 times this year to discuss my 3 major issues that I also have a specialist I see for.

Ken Kirtland IV (@KenKirtland17) reported@brandonjmphoto @Malky0010 @IrateMaxwell No that’s not the way I’m using it. When I said “as far as SpaceX is concerned” I mean from SpaceX’s point of view. And that phrase is specifically there because Starship hasn’t actually reached orbit 7 times. If it had, there would be no need for the phrase being there. It’s a short way of saying it like this: “Starship has successfully completed 7 mission specifically designed to prove it can reach orbit, so it is ready to launch our Starlinks soon. So it’s not premature to ramp down Falcon, as this system has proven it can get to orbit.” That’s really as clear as I can make it. SpaceX, the entity with the most orbital experience of any in the history of earth, doesn’t need twitter users to “well ackshully tecknikully” then about what is and isn’t an orbit. They know, and they designed these test specifically to responsibly and safely confirm starship can reach orbit, without needless endangering just to score reddit points

ARandomHippo (@ARandomHippo_) reportedThe X algorithm is ******* terrible. Beyond belief. A disaster makes international news and comes across my feed 40 times before I watch it a single time, and now my feed looks like a middle schoolers gore reddit page. So retarded
