Okay that’s pretty funny

Yeah I think big hubs are too problematic.

Yeah I also liked the show subs where people theorized and discussed details.

Hey. I’m high quality and I came from a permaban!

Personally offended !

Jk.

The only thing I miss from reddit is my favorite small niche subs.

Invisible bicycles.

Where people take photos of people on bicycles and Photoshop out the bicycle. You can request or do the edits.

Forbiddensnacks

Photos of stuff that looks like delicious food but is not food.

There was another with short videos of animals in sync. Like chickens or dogs .

Oh and another that was photos of cats, sitting on clear glass. The photos were from the underside.

There was another photoshop battle one. Where there was a prompt and then everyone would submit a photoshopped mash of the prompt.

But I bet AI has ruined that one.

What is this. People posted pictures of stuff that the community tried to figure out what it was

Retro futurism. Just posts about that.

I think I miss forbidden snacks the most.

Im also someone with a million hobbies. So I really miss those. Some are here too. Bigger ones like 3d printing and photography but not stained glass. Not sure if there is one for Blender. I should check.

Subs for specific games like remedy games, zelda. Animal crossing.

Honestly I’m from the time where there used to be forums for these things and I liked forums just fine.

I get that smaller population means less niche communities.

I’m okay with it. But I will be honest and say I miss my niche indie subs. I hate that it’s been ruined. And that it’s dead.

Facebook groups still exist though and many are acceptable. Especially for the indie games and hobbies.

You know if you have a printed piece of paper, a magazine. Or even a TV with a face on it, that a camera can’t tell if it’s a real human or not.

That’s my point. Kids aren’t even at risk of circumventing age restrictions so requiring IDs or banning VPNs is targeting adults privacy. Not protecting kids.

Which is stupid. Kids aren’t using vpns. Most good ones cost money. And kids aren’t very tech savvy these days.

Most grow up with phones and tablets only. They don’t even know how to use a keyboard or a PC.

Yeah they have tried to prosecute women for miscarriages. Basically saying women cause them on purpose.

The right wing conservatives often have these weird paradoxical beliefs. Like Mexicans are lazy but also stealing everyone’s jobs.

They believe women are designed to be baby incubators and are natural caregivers, but we are also naturally baby killers and have to be watched and kept from killing all the babies.

It’s ridiculous.

A lot of cycle trackers right now sell that data and there is some concern it could be used to find women who have miscarried and charge them with a crime.

Something like your idea is safer for women to use.
