Just logged into reddit, from Canada, it’s not working correctly. I suspect so many subs going dark have unveiled a bug that has broken some algorithms. Here’s hoping they are a pain to fix and require a significant reengineering effort. Anyone confirm the same behavior?

      Like the antiwork fiasco. I remember the astroturfing going on where they tried to move people over to “work reform” aka we like work and bosses are good!

        no anti work believe no one should work and every should get paid for sitting on their asses, and work reform believes in giving workers what they want, such as higher pay, less hours, better benefits and things such as that.

        EDIT: based on my ratio im not sure I want to continue on this site lmao, I have a feeling its just going to turn into another Voat if this shit keeps up

            at least you get to see controversial entries get both upvotes and downvotes rather than the net number only. helps for better discussion.

            Also with how federation works, I don’t have too see any of this if I dont want to so if Lemmy.World devolves into a communist instance I can just switch to a different one. Win for the both of us.

          You don’t reform your way out of capitalism. Any concessions given to the proletariat will be clawed back once the booj don’t have to worry about the threat of revolution.

            Bruh I dont even agree with all of capitalism as I think the best economy would be a mixed one like Finland. I am just against any form of extremism as it leads to narrow thinking.

          …Or the people on r/antiwork are here as well and downvoted you for a very bias post to their members?

          Like what did you think would happen? This would happen on Reddit as well unless you were on a subreddit that specifically supported your stance.

            There is nothing biased about that post. The initial group of r/antiwork was against working at all. With more people joining that shifted to the more reasonable “work needs a major, worldwide reform because being treated like shit for fifty decades to then not have enough pension to survive is fucked up”

            Work Reform was then created because of “that” interview, it had nothing to do with cozying up to companies or bosses.

                You mean reddit will be like Voat? Voat is gone. You can’t sustain a platform on extremism alone

      If it is deliberate, I’m pretty sure that’d be a call-our-bluff sort of situation and they’d end up with a longer blackout as a result, at least until the majority of participating mods are replaced/banned.

      I’d assumed a minor reverse-reddit-hug, personally - there are a lot of news stories on this today with a lot of links to reddit. Either way, a day in and I’m here and kinda loving it, despite it being a bit … wonky on posting today with all us refugees.
