I don't really understand why people post poems online without providing their attribution. Perhaps poems are perceived as something similar to proverbs, small floating bits of wisdom without a specific, individual author.

Unrelated to that, it's interesting to note that this particular rendition is not a very "loyal" representation of the original manuscript. Emily Dickinson used dashes extremely frequently in her poetry, and this edition appears to remove them completely, replacing them with more conventional punctuation. You can see the original manuscript at https://dickinsonsbirds.org/project/poems/210 - IMO this editorial decision isn't justifiable.

They should be archiving a lot more of the internet, too, including all media.

They do, they have an extensive collection of scanned books, music and film.

Even the most fascist redfash still would have killed the nazis.

They'd kill who they define as nazis. I find that tankies' (especially Hexbear) definition of nazism doesn't entirely correspond to mine or that of most other people. So this is not something to be super optimistic about.

The last one is not the Firefox logo, but the general Mozilla Foundation logo.

I know I shouldn't be the one to nitpick because I posted a similar "design simplification bad" meme myself just yesterday, but still... :D

Kind of, but on the other hand people (male, I believe) are openly agreeing with it ITT and apparently find it funny.

I mean, that's been noticed and parodied on reddit itself

Ask reddit sex

Hey reddit , do you like sex? Sexy sexy sex? Do you like when you put penis in women cum hole and do the sex? What is your sexiest sex you've ever sexed ? Is it the ass one (an#a l) or the v#gina one?

I think the literally teenage userbase of the site has grown significantly in the last few years, which results in this sort of garbage.

Watching a Youtube video here and there is not an addiction. Google has a monopoly in the area. I've switched from Chrome to Firefox, and use both Google and Yandex search, but I can't really switch away from Gmail, and if I want to watch e.g. a music video or some educational clip or interview, etc. etc. 99.9% of the time Youtube is the only place where I can do that.

I guess where you're coming from is the annoyance with the endless complaining about Twitter and reddit. But those two, while definitely unhealthily large and living off an addicted userbase, are still not in a position as monopolistic and as unavoidable as Youtube's.

assuming the ads are not malicious

All ads are malicious.

Tax our billionaires.

They'd probably bribe half the EU parliament and make it reduce the taxes in EU instead.

As a EU citizen - no thanks, unless you get like ten seats in the EU parliament at most.

instead of spending energy to “fix search” or “build better admin tools” they put their focus into buzzwords and ads. The NFT profile snoos, the crypto approach

Now that you put it that way, it sounds like reddit is run by people from r/wallstreetbets.

That's the weird part. Apparently it's existed long before the API shutdown, and they only started advertising it a little bit when they killed off reddit awards, as some sort of alternative.

Not that it would've succeeded either way, but it seems like they didn't even try?
