For me the biggest issue of wefwef is gonna be the freezing issue while scrolling, which everyone keeps saying is just a limitation of the web browser. If that’s not something that can ever be fixed I can’t see myself sticking with it no matter how great the UI is once other alternative apps are available and fully featured.

Not if you install a custom launcher.

Nope, it’s just by whatever client you use. You have a comment score of 88 and a post score of 3.

It is tallied per account, whatever client you’re using just isn’t showing it to you.

I assume so too, it works the same way in Memmy.

Which, imo, is a big mistake. When I click on someone’s profile, especially mine, I want to see all the comments they’ve made, no matter if it’s in a blocked community or not.

”PC Master Race” is just a joke and a meme. That’s it.

You say that but just an hour or so ago, I used this community (ok, I was talking about the subreddit) alongside the Flat Earth Society, and The Donald subreddit, as examples of communities that started as jokes but then people started joining unironically and promoting the toxicity that was being made fun of to begin with.

Personally, I’ve had /r/PCMR blocked for years now, so I have no idea if it’s as toxic as it used to be. I’ll wait until I see evidence one way or the other before deciding to add this community to my block list. But I just wanted to point out that, at least for a while, the joke of this community got very much so out of hand.

Definitely need this added. It’s super annoying on the iPad when you swipe to reply and start typing away only to find out that the text field isn’t active.

To be fair, I did say “well established anecdote” and not “well established fact”.

The internet has a way of taking things that are used sarcastically and removing every bit of irony. The Flat Earth Society, PCMR, and The Donald subreddit all started out as making fun of the people that are now 100% unironically part of very thriving (and toxic to differing levels) communities.

I think that will almost certainly happen to the word normie, if it hasn’t already.

I always hated the stereotype that Reddit was full of nothing but loser virgins trapped in their mom’s basement who had no friends and no chance of a fulfilling life.

I mean, sure there are a lot of people there (and here) that probably fit most, if not all of that stereotype, but the constant need to point out what losers we all are is problematic in so many ways. Namely that some of us do actually have friends, hobbies, and lives, but still can relate to the overall vibe of being a bit of a weirdo or a loner or whatever, but also it has a tendency to create this barrel of crabs type mental barrier where it just feels like the constant reminders of “if this is all I am, this is all I will ever be” keeps presenting itself. It’s tiring and is the reason why I always kept all the self-insulting subs like me_irl on my block list.
