He pointed at Twitter’s “success” after Elon took it over as reasons why he is enshittifying Reddit. That comment is why I left Reddit and haven’t looked back.

Good luck finding a “conservative” instance that’s not filled with violent rhetoric, hate and bad actors. If that’s what you’re looking for, just use X/Gab/Truth like all the other fascists.
But your sense of humor is that of a 7th grade 4chin dweeb who uses the computer over summer break when their parents run to the grocery store to buy them more hotpockets.
People thinking you’re shit does not equate to you being funny in any way lmao
Lmao classic. Conservative offers shit meme or made up fact, public calls it out, idiot says “look how much they’re triggered.” Same energy here.
People hating it doesn’t make it go hard, that misses the entire point of the community.
I hate three things: stupid OP’s, political violence, and incompetent marksmen.
Ok, techbro lmao. Crypto using more fossil fuels in 2020 than AI will three years from now is a heck of a hill to die on.
So any other fiat currency not your own is not real?
No, any currency that is not widely accepted and is not able to be used to pay for necessities is not a real currency. Fiat currency is government issued. Crypto is in no way a fiat currency.
If you end up with “real” money, where’s the scam?
Let’s see… extreme volatility, lack of regulation, lack of consumer protection, the fact that many ICO’s have turned out to be scams really points to crypto being a scam. Not to mention that whatever profit you think you made in no way offsets the damage to the Earth from using more non-renewable energy than even AI (which is saying A LOT).
Got evidence to support that? Sure, you can also confirm with 30 seconds of Duck Duck Go.
Bitcoin- 173.42 terawatt-hours used in 2020-2021. It has increased since then.
AI is estimated to ramp up to using 134 terawatt-hours by 2027. This means they use much less than that now, and are estimated to be below 2020’s bitcoin power consumption after ramping up for 3 more years.
Study, paywalled but with sources listed:
Bitcoin also uses over 60% non-renewable resources compared to AI which much more heavily leans into renewable in data centers. It’s not even a contest, crypto is extremely bad for the environment.
Oh, are you talking about the insanely high non-renewable energy used to mine coin and distribute, which is way beyond even AI?
Because I think it’s pretty evident that the coin halving heavily impacts our environment as it now takes twice as much energy to create the same value.
Actually giving a shit about the Earth 101 for ya.
Ah, making a mistake is spouting misinformation. I see you love hyperbole! I’ll be sure to tell my high school students when they get quiz question wrong their answers are misinformation because they didn’t study. See, I like hyperbole, too
If I can’t buy groceries, pay rent or medical bills with it, it’s in not a real currency. If I can’t bail myself out with it, it’s not a real currency. But sure, somehow paying money to get faux money that can’t really practically pay for my needs, and then needs to be reconverted to real currency to take care of my needs is somehow not a scam.
Also, I’m sure you’re super cool with the insane non-renewable energy cost of bitcoin mining and distribution. It far outweighs the energy cost of AI that everyone is complaining about.
Ah, so the people creating essentially get paid half for the same amount of work. That’s WAY better lol. Yeah, I’m not super into knowing so much about faux currency. I tend to deal with the real kind. So please pardon my mistake 🙏
What, you mean I read a headline and repeated it in the wrong context? Damnit. I totally should have wasted 20 minutes reading further about a faux currency that I can’t even buy groceries with
I sat back to back with this cute girl at a music festival (first date) strategically placed in the center of several gongs. The artists began gently rolling the gongs in succession in the middle of this electric forest and then they worked together to create rhythms and move them around us.
It is one my favorite memories of my wife :)
