  • The best thing would be if Reddit goes the way of Digg.

    Well, it has already. The only reason it hasn’t fully imploded & all the users deserted for another site, is because there wasn’t an equivalent place to go to.

    They were sort of parallel in development but digg blew up and Reddit didn’t then Digg took a quick hard turn towards enshitification.

    Reddit has done the enshitification but like a parasitic infected spider, it’s wandering about and most of the users haven’t realised yet that it’s an empty shell.

    It’s slow demise would be better in the long run than a quick collapse like Diggs so it’s now putrid culture is not transmitted with an enmass exodus.


  • I’ve gone back there from time to time because there’s not the specialised subs here yet, or those that are don’t have the traffic.

    What I’ve found on the main dubs I used to frequent is that they are full of reactionary comments that have no grasp of history, context or empathy.

    The specialised subs, maybe were like this and I was just more tolerant to it, are full of low effort “please look at me doing absolutely fuck all in any way of producing meaningful content” posts.

    There’s far too many to actually get to the content with effort so the signal to noise ratio is too low to fight off my general contempt of the place.



  • I’m not vegan. I just don’t drink milk and I’m certainly not advocating veganism because you don’t have the ability to commit to 10 minutes to make your own oat milk so howTF are you going to make such a lifestyle change?

    All I did was say how easy it is to make yourself as you complained about the cost and when you bleated about your very busy important lifestyle, laid out your options.

    It’s quite obvious the biggest hurdle to you making changes to your life is you so good luck with that and I hope it works out.


  • Nobody has the time to do that.

    Plant milks need to become way cheaper than currently 5x the cost for me in India.

    So you have 3 choices there:

    1. Examine your time management as you will have time that youre actually just procrastinating or pursuing bullshit that doesnt really matter as much as you think. (Dont lie - Very few people actually dont).

    It takes 10 minutes to make a batch. Less time than will take you to walk to a shop (see here for a simple recipe/process: https://minimalistbaker.com/make-oat-milk/ )

    1. Pay 5x the cost for plant based products - is your time really worth that much in exchange for the convenience?

    2. Keep drinking disgusting cows milk.
