This is the heart of Reddit - total coordination of random users uniting for a common cause and message.

What’s the back story for using John Oliver? What did I miss🤔

[–] speff@melly.0x-ia.moe 61 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (3 children)

I have to agree - this is classic reddit. Spez obviously couldn't care less about namecalling.

  • The corp gets to use the CEO as a punching bag - which is pretty much his job description...

  • Redditors can feel good about upvoting a picture "sticking it to the man" while actually doing nothing - participating on a site that's still reaming them

  • Buying all the reddit awards for the post, GIVING THE COMPANY THEY'RE SUPPOSEDLY STICKING IT TO MORE MONEY. Bullshit like this pisses me off after finding out the Lemmy devs pretty much make less than minimum wage with donations

[–] Steeve@lemmy.ca 15 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Pretty sure most awards given are free. My account has a bunch of coins on it for some reason.

[–] speff@melly.0x-ia.moe 11 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I thought the free awards thing stopped a while back. I'd be surprised if a lot of people still had them

[–] androogee@midwest.social 6 points 1 year ago

I have thousands of coins on my account. Coins used to be way more plentiful before awards got enshittified.

[–] DrLongTRL@feddit.de 9 points 1 year ago

People could also dump their already purchased coins into fuck spez posts to be fair. Just because they gave an award here doesn't mean they specifically purchased it for that occasion.

Several subs had a vote and changed their rules to only allow John Oliver content. The vote was done to ensure the mods are not deciding over the desire of their user base as spez had claimed they do.

Why give money via awards to the website you’re protesting against?

The Schadenfreude is real :)

[–] Holzkohlen@feddit.de 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Sorry, can't ignore it. Only a single d pls. Again sorry my german genes compel me to correct people.

[–] Khalic@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago

Here we go!

Personally don't pirate stuff, but gotta support folks who are leaving Reddit. So... here I am I guess?

[–] FaceDeer@kbin.social 13 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It's never too late to start pirating. I'm sure plenty of folks here would be happy to hook you up.

Not to apply any pressure, mind you. If you're just here to soak in the pirate culture tourists are fine too. There's probably a gift shop, take free copies of anything you find in there.

[–] Singletona@kbin.social 4 points 1 year ago

Eh. I'll let the younger generation have their fun. These days I'm more interested in the technical aspects than the actual content.

[–] DeadGemini@waveform.social 8 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

-qBittorrent

-TorrentGalaxy, The Pirate Bay, 1337x

-Plex

-Mullvad VPN

-Prowlarr, Sonarr, Radarr

Yanno, just in case you wanna get your hands dirty, here's a list of things you can Google. Listed in order of importance (imo).

[–] Fastjur@feddit.nl 1 points 1 year ago

Isn’t Mullvad considered a bad option now since it doesn’t allow port forwarding anymore? It still works in my setup but I thought that being able to portforward increased potential peers?

[–] lowleveldata@programming.dev 11 points 1 year ago

What are we fucking Spez for this time? Well anyways, fuck that guy

[–] AppleMango@kbin.social 10 points 1 year ago

The one downvote is from spez.

[–] Linnce@lemmy.ml 7 points 1 year ago

That's spez? He has kind of a baby face

[–] xc2215x@kbin.social 4 points 1 year ago

Haha. Love this.
