My experiences have been where I've been eating outside at a restaurant, and someone asks me for money. I tell them to order anything off the menu, and I'll pay. Every single one has turned me down. This has been at least 3 times in Orlando. I have also spent some time in the poorer parts of town, and I work in a hospital where many come. Even having gotten to know some homeless people and respecting them does not make me more inclined to give money to strangers.

I think spez forgot that Redditors will burn it down just for the show.

Meta is doing great if all you care about is liking pictures of your nieces and nephews. That's not totally fair, they do allow niche communities to post information and share photos. But there's no where near the thought provoking discussion that Reddit or Lemmy provide.

The problem is that Reddit relies on highly motivated and tech literate volunteers to keep subreddits from degenerating almost immediately into pure horseshit. Without some critical mass of capable moderators, I think the whole thing could implode, and these are exactly the people who are most angry. Will the average wall scroller keep posting pictures of their plants or knitting? Probably for a while. But will they keep doing it when their favorite subs are full of shitty memes if not porn? I guess we'll see.
