You know? It’s possible that I would vote for a politician who believes in Santa Claus or the tooth fairy. I’d have a slightly harder time supporting a public figure who touts flat Earth nonsense or subscribes to the “nano-chips in the vaccine” school of thought.

I’m glad she thought it wasn’t funny, because it would actually be less funny if she could appreciate the joke.

Lettuce not jump to conclusions.

Well, the world thought it was funny.

This dude really wrote six angry paragraphs about Reddit drama and ended it by calling other people “keyboard warriors.”

That “small minority” is an all-volunteer work force that keeps Reddit functional. The mods go away, the site goes away. You have genuinely no idea how much free labor Reddit is just throwing out the window with this move.

Except you’re missing the larger, more important issue:

“Now, please let all of the uber-entitled keyboard warriors eager to take up the cause of the week flame me below. Your rage fueled tirades will only serve to make me laugh.”

I like how you write your own tirade and then just immediately, preemptively shut down any possible response by dismissing them as written by…

Nothing screams “I’m not bothered or riled up” like a wall of text about how funny it is to you. Reddit is (soon to be was) a platform run by its users, ya dink. All your presuppositions are wrong

Theres one little problem with this argument. The issue isn’t that Reddit wants to charge for it’s API, but that the amount they want to charge is astronomical and way higher than other websites such as Imgur, and the extremely short timeline they gave with pricing information.

You know what’s more akin to a landed gentry? Corporate CEOs. The Reddit employees didn’t vote you, ya dickwad (insert Monty python reference).

In regards to the right place to find an answer to something, thats 100% sure. Trash Websites have gotten so good at SEO that it’s ruined things like google.

TERF may be shorter, but it is not a good way to sum up when you’re writing a news article because most people don’t know what it means. That’s why AP is saying to avoid it—because it doesn’t help create clarity in your story. If someone has to navigate away from your story to Google what a TERF is, you’ve failed in…

FART is better, feminisim appropriating radical transphobe. 

The issue I take with it is that “TERF” has just come to mean “transphobe” without any radical feminism necessary. Someone advocating a return to traditional gender roles who thinks that trans women aren’t women because women should be pregnant as often as possible isn’t a “TERF”, they’re just a bigot.

Yes. One of the AP Stylebook’s main tenets from the get-go has been to avoid jargon, and TERF is definitely jargon, and worse, it is jargon that the vast majority of people do not understand. Only very, very online people know what a TERF is. It is better to explain who these people are in plain language. This is…

Reddit relies on users to create content and mods to keep the content within community guidelines. Reddit is generating money from this volunteer effort.

For the asshole to have been right, they would have to have said “You’re not gay, you’re a straight transman who has not yet transitioned.” They did not say that. Instead they said, “You aren’t gay. That doesn’t exist. You are just afraid of men.” Which is categorically wrong, regardless of Page’s sex, gender, or…

Learn the difference between gender and biological sex.

So do you always wait until you see someone’s genitals or the results of a DNA test before you use a person’s pronouns? How many people have you met that you actually know the biological sex of?
