Thanks for looking into it, because this will be a huge issue once the site starts growing, as people will create multiple fake accounts to farm karma and maybe even start selling accounts like Reddit.
It kinda is for many people, if you ride the bus or subway you will find most people staring at their screens, hell even in restaurants where people are supposed to talk to each other.
The images seem to be compressed, anyway they are screenshots of /s/technology and /s/jokes. Most of the these posts had 4 to 7 upvotes, and now they are 0 or -1. so that means there is a user (bot?) with multiple accounts and this user is manipulating the votes, either he/she is a troll or someone who is trying to damage the site, by discouraging other people from posting and contributing to the site.
Same honestly, I will stop posting any type of content even the monthly general threads (nobody even cares about them anyway) until I see real punishment for the trollers (bots?), or get an explanation for why this shit is happening. I will keep moderating the subs I made, though.
Creating content is time-consuming and with such small user base it's not worth it, so sharing articles and content from other sites is a temporary solution that almost all sites used until the user base grows.
Again, nobody is preventing you from creating content, but trying to prevent other people from sharing articles isn't the best idea
I shouldn't say this, but did you know it was actually me who commented on most of your old posts? I created a couple of posts on your antinormie sub too, so no text content doesn't gain more interactivity, This was me just trying to keep the site alive.
> most articles posted here aren't even interesting
This is subjective, if you aren't into programming than you will find articles about programming boring, on the other hand if you're into bashing normies than you will be interested in articles making fun of normies.
> but text posts allow greater interactivity.
Guess what? most text posts on the site are low quality too, why? Because writing a high quality text post is time-consuming, and nobody is going to spend an hour or two writing a post for 5 or 10 people to read.
Couldn't agree more, plus sites like Tildes that followed this path of elitism couldn't grow their user base even after 5 years. They still have the same user activity of Mainchan just after 5 months, and guess what, they actually started aggregating content from other sites.
To each his own the good thing about cli apps that they're way faster to work with than gui apps and they use less resources, just try cmus and see how much faster it's compared to gui music players especially if you have a big music library.

Because it significantly improves your chances of getting hired, at least that's the case where I live.
Homeless? Just buy a house.
Yeah, I wish life was that easy.
Do you think trade jobs won't be replaced by robots?
pretty good, anon!
It's ok, we all started from hello world.
Yeah, as I said, someone is manipulating votes. It's annoying and childish.
I think you are right, There is a post that exposes how the shared account is used for voting manipulation.

Compared to what we had a couple of years ago, it's impressive. The web wasn't as advanced as it's today in the 2000s.

Hi fren
Totally deserved for listening to Andrew Tate advice.
Not surprising, It's known that TikTok is a Chinese spying application

Time to start scraping then

I hate nano, I always find vim to be easier and have a cleaner TUI
