Has been in earnest since about 2014 by my watch
I’m a woman and child
You’re right. Narcissists are generally very concerned with what other people think - specifically about them.
If you really want to help this person I’d suggest being a friend to him. Don’t talk about the stuff you disagree on. Every time he mentions it, be very clear that you emphatically disagree and that the positions that he holds cause you harm. Do not get drawn into a debate, just states how it negatively affects you and end the conversation. If he can accept that boundary then you can build a friendship, and that friendship will eventually provide you with the sufficient mutual respect to potentially begin to change minds with open and vulnerable conversation. It has to be a real friendship though, you can’t be faking it.
That’s all a lot of energy and effort, but it’s the kind of sustained relational support that can effectively promulgate change.
I believe the memo is saying meta will benefit in the end because they can utilise community innovation already built in their own architecture
I’ve been embracing the weirdness of multiple platforms with distinct cultures and equally enjoying going to different parts of the internet again after quite some time! I do miss the sense that in browsing Reddit you could sample the cultural pulse of a particular demographic cluster.
A few thoughts:
As others have said comparison is the thief of joy. It’s also not a very useful motivator. Feeling a bit better off than someone else isn’t going to push you to work all night when it’s required. That motivation is going to have to come from an intrinsic place - some well of meaning that has significance for you.
I’ve had the chance to study a little philosophy in pursuit of my profession and having a foundational system of thought - or several to compare - from which to approach decision making has helped me to determine my path and give meaning to my time alive.
If you’re trying to do anything difficult, doing it alone is courting failure. Find other people doing similar things and figure out how you can help them out. Equally, if you want to learn something you’ll have a much easier time if you find a teacher.
Well stated thank you
I do think the question of who owns community content is nuanced. I put this comment here, you might say that means I own it and should be able to withdraw it - but it also doesn’t mean much of anything by itself, it needs your content to make sense. So who owns the discourse we are having? Me or you? Or whoever runs the server it is stored on - who must have some legal right to reproduce our content in order to provide the community space? Or the community as a whole? The combined content on Reddit represents an incredibly valuable store of information and learning - who does that belong to? Who should get to benefit from it?
Fair, but then there’s a line between scraping through ordinary traffic and using API access to gather large data sets.
Seems like it would quickly become a bit of an arms race with measures and counter measures unless some legislation went into effect
I do wish that function would have a profile exception
Help me to understand what this means. Something to do with blocking specific sets of ips?
The other 5% were furious
I think he was just trying to be coy
I understand the why, I understand nothing about that list of instances or what it means. Is it a lot? A little? How do they link up? It’s just a list of what may as well be nonsense to me.
Memmy is pretty decent on iOS, but it misses the feed controls liftoff has
I wish that link helped explain anything at all about the information it displays
