Oddbean new post about login | logout it's crazy how mastodon/the fediverse became my favorite piece of social media it may not seem that way when I drop some of the worst jokes mankind has ever uttered, like, absolute dumpster fires of comedy, but if I hated it here you wouldn't get anything but ass, and that's the saddest fate of all
my least favorite continues to be Reddit, for being a bunch of little hellpits that all seem to attract and maintain the worst moderation staff possible. it is legitimately amazing how AITA, legaladvice, antiwork etc. all managed to become great content generators for offsite discussion, and more or less just shitposts and dead air internally, because the minute you e.g. take issue with something discriminatory or tell someone to hire or lawyer you get banned for indecorous posting
