Sorry, a lot going on latel. And by the way I bricked my old cellphone yesterday so it will take a while to post new memes ,

the raddle psyop on reddit is absolutely hilarious. I don't even know who is and isn't a raddle infiltrator anymore. It honestly tops the time me and suma made a bunch of alt account to vote against karlmarxmouth.
And i don't really have much to complain about this raddle era is super cool.
Tho if you made me answer I would say I dislike thta no one has given me a easy answer to my massive conflict of being lazy and doing lots of anarchy. So i guess my complaint is that raddlers don't benefit me even more lol So its not even really a worst thing.

I'm close to quitting the online adaptation of Anarchism. What a flop. But anarchy is still butterflies in my belly, in love and at war like it's day one for me.
6, 10-14, 28, 33 are highlights. I'm here for the lack of masses chiming in.

Nothing will ever top that one April Fools Day when the whole site was filled with people having frank and sincere conversations about Melissaphilia and anything questioning it or trying to change the topic was instantly deleted.

I suspect 10 is the reason this site has been on its death bed for 4 years

distressing
Like when raddle was brand new and didn't have a reputation yet and we convinced Matthew Perry's agent to get him to do an AMA with us, but then every single question was variations of "Why is Chandler such a homophobic piece of shit?"
suma wrote
Lol where's the link to that, I can't find it? I asked him who he thinks is the biggest sex pest? Him, Ross or Joey?
ziq OP wrote
That agent guy made me delete the whole thing but it's obviously a 3 way tie.

Yes and yes.
I particularly like the old accounts that you are certain will get banned but somehow never quite cross the line or just go unnoticed.

I'm putting "/u/subrosa's favorite forum" on my forum and linking this.
Call it false advertising but I am still doing it lol.

Lolol he must have lost it when that tankie asked Perry if he would donate to the CPUSA to help guillotine the bourgeoisie.

Fav: Things that help me expand my consciousness of negation.
Worst: The feeling of gradual staleness I've felt from the site. Idk if its just me personally, though I dont think it is from other posts I've seen from raddle old-heads, but the current iteration of the site just feels qualitatively different. Idk what it is exactly, but it feels like it has less differentiable utility to me.
To explain it with an example, years ago, I would log into raddle and see what were novel (to me at least) reading recommendations amd conversations about topical things at the time. Now, I feel like when i log there are conversations where I already can posit what everyone's gonna say cuz the references are stale and the roles people take in the conversation also mirror previously seen/said things.
I still feel raddle is the best available for what it is, but i wonder if what it has to offer me personally has hit some diminishing return.

alright serious answer time
i love reading the irl stories you all post here, dont really care for the music tho (sorry).

Yeah probably the second best private message meltdown ever, after that time I convinced that misogynist ancap they could be an admin if they sent me bitcoin, and then I immediately donated the bitcoin to Girls Who Code and banned him.
ziq OP wrote
It happened too long ago for any of the current users to get the reference. That's how I'm getting away with completely making shit up about raddle's past events without anyone noticing.

Think about it though, people saying you have a face for radio is also saying you have a face that they want to have whisper in their ear.

I relate to what you said and I changed my way to relate to Raddle. When I was a lurker I had a list of raddle references and such.
I posted a lot and many of the stuff I shared in my first year was probably lots of novelty stuff that could led one in a rabbit hole of those you spend lots of hours on some lazy&rainy afternoon.
I just accepted that this is what it is now, not better or worse, different

Remember that time raddle donated a million dollars to the Mutual Aid Foundation?

according to the established trajectory, you should be in the fascism is cool stage by now
ziq OP wrote
Maybe what the site is missing is all the pissed off tankies that used to stop by and get angry that the platform wouldn't bend to their will before lemmy hoovered them up.
or maybe it's just that anarchy is dead

omg do you remember that week long period when you just had the site redirect to lemmygrad.ml with no explanation??

lol that was epic because everyone thought i'd been a secret tankie all along and they wrote long diatribes on reddit about how raddle had only existed to sabotage anarchy and turn civilized peace-loving people against it

it was soon after that - i'd been fired from cth and had started my stopping socialism podcast in retaliation
