Reddit has decided to run another edition of r/place in mid July for some unimaginable reason.

It seems to me that it would be stupid to not at least attempt to advertise for Lemmy given the perfect opportunity. Many have expressed concerns about giving reddit more traffic, but a few thousand users is less than a rounding error to reddit. However, getting a few thousand more redditors to move to Lemmy would be great for us.

Hopefully I can get a few sh.itheads to help in this noble endeavor. If not, at least I tried.

You mentioned an order of events, I followed it. The damage was done and then priced in. They have been attempting to do damage control to limit its scope and investors are betting on the likelihood of a cascade.

Now who's jumping to conclusions? Personal attacks are a logical fallacy but thanks for making your own bad faith approach blatantly obvious.

There are as many different definitions of neoliberalism as there are people that know the term. Your argument is a populist one.

Which means that you're not inherently wrong just because you're an apologist dildo looking for any excuse to white knight for billionaires.

But you can still be wrong and you can still be an apologist dildo.

Shrieking "Ad Hominem!" when people grow tired of your ineptly masked bullshit isn't a magic "win argument" button.

It is however a good way to get blocked. So go nuts. Tell us all about how flawless capitalism is and pretend you won something when I don't reply.

I addressed your core points directly. Your attacks are rapidly devolving. Capitalism is not flawless which is why I mentioned the term externalities that you conveniently ignored. It means I am trying to get you to actually address problems instead of using intentionally vague but radical language. Does this normally work for you with anyone that doesn't already agree with you?
