Guess time will tell if it would have been smarter to replace the CEO with the chat bot instead.

Finally some good news!
Learning about the concept of enshittification (https://www.wired.com/story/tiktok-platforms-cory-doctorow/) made me suspect that this might be going on with games too. I mean these always online and monetisation trends seem to suggest so.
Though for me it‘s also the age and work, quest logs remind me of ticket systems and grinding of more repetitive work and it all lost it‘s shine. I enjoy games still, but less often I would say.
If you want peace and quiet a workplace generally isn‘t it. Cities and towns in general, I think it drives a lot of us crazy this constant noise and bustle, so little quiet places. I found a corner behind some building in my workplace where rarely anyone ventures to take my break and that‘s the best I could do.
All the Slay the Spire achievements and did Ascension 20 until I could win most of them and get some streaks of like 5 or so at each character. I‘ve long since stopped and would lose a lot more now, but it was probably the most serious I‘ve ever gotten with a game.
The power lies in leaving Reddit behind.
Well shit. I thought this might happen. I mean it‘s only a talk for now, but I suspect further that there will be some sort of money offer in an effort to start the “embrace” part of embrace, extend, extinguish and with the NDA we won‘t know if he took the money or not.
So for those who care about not embracing Meta, it‘s the canary in the coal mine. I‘ll switch to one of my safer Lemmy instances now I suppose before I get too attached to this one, see y‘all around under my new identity.
For me since I quit smoking weed something in my mindset changed and it just seems like too much effort overall to play most games, especially bad with open world with hundreds of quests. The quest log tends to remind me of my ticket backlog at work.
I mainly play some small and quick to pick up and put down games with tight gameplay loops atm.
There is no war in Ba Sing Se.
No, one thing is the use cases of some to bypass laws.
The other thing is, there will always be people to fall for all kinds of scams, cults, hypes, pyramid schemes so many are still alive as well, there is people out there buying sugar pills and energy healing and Reddit gold.
Awesome protest honestly, doesn‘t hurt the people or damage the property, the only thing hurt is some fragile egos.
Facebook already went through enshittification and should be dead but somehow it isn’t, it just survives off boomers and conspiracy theorists or something.
Similar to how Reddit will survive even if it‘s all just bots talking to each other and reposting into infinity.
Weird to think some text or image I contributed could be reposted long after my death and written about by AI bots.
My main reason to rush was that I felt disgusted any time I opened it, because I kept seeing comments from people who didn‘t give a fuck and supported spez. I’m used to feeling like shit and doom when browsing Reddit, but disgust was a new one.
So I pulled the plug early and overall, I feel good here now, I can share in some negative news about Reddit which makes me feel less alone and also participate in new and growing communities, it‘s awesome.
Only thing I miss is the app, Apollo was a wonderful app and you could tell a labor of love, RIP. I can see why you might want to use it till its last day.
I used Apollo until roughly a week ago or so when I started to detach from Reddit. Now it‘s since been uninstalled.
Hoping it‘s true, but I‘ll wait with congratulations until I see some proof.
Anyway, criminals or whatnot, is a fine line anyway and subjective. To me spez is the criminal right now, it‘s just that there isn‘t a crime for “destruction of communities” and if there were there‘d be an exception for rich people.
They‘ll just get removed anyway, but it‘s a funny and creative response.
I enjoyed the underlying anarchist texts to the movement like Bullshit Jobs by Graeber, The Abolition of Work by Bob Black etc. but yeah discussion of that was minimal and the more people arrived the less there was and I‘m also sure none of that ever made it to r/all.
Ironically, I have a great manager and wonderful job, I just dislike the system as a whole due to a) people around me suffering b) bad experiences growing up I been exploited with internships as somewhat of a cleaner. Thus I like our cleaners more than the CEO and if I were in charge I‘d pay them better too.
Anyway, the biggest advocates for r/antiwork in my mind aren‘t some mods, it‘s actually people like Musk or spez who can‘t help but treat anyone working class like trash and rabble. They push this mentality of everyone should kiss their feet or they deserve to become homeless. As long as they are around, such a movement will persist. I mean it even exists in supposedly-communist China with tang ping and they try to censor it a lot harder, haha good luck! Either they treat people well and foster a positive and engaging work culture or a counterculture arises naturally.
Sorry, now I went off on a tangent all just from this little comment!
Pretty sure most of the more anarchist mods got pushed out sometime after the whole Fox News debacle already and since then the content has become less spicy too. Watering all that down again, what is even left? “Please master spez I would like to slightly criticise a corporation, am I allowed to do this or is it against the guidelines and duties of moderators?” or what.
Well, it is all for the best, free thinking people will migrate and rebuild, the rest I won‘t miss.
Yea especially the Bing chatbot is too cute for a job like this, it also added a 😅 later on in our little chat, though maybe the CEO should have taken some advice from it in this case.
