Perhaps ask cynical_americano, Zapped, and la_cues to make you a mod of MeanwhileOnReddit so that you can write instructions for the left side panel. If you wil require the Reddit item to be cynical or funny, I would still want to post the present topic, to allow Saiditors to cynically claim that Ukraine is genociding its own population, just as Putin - the paragon of virtue - has claimed. That said, there are 3 users in the sub now. With special rules and requirements, the sub can reduce that number of visitors.

I was honestly just asking for a recap so I didn't give them traffic, so, I appreciate that. I'm not sure what you're on about with the mod stuff but I'll just stick to being a lowly nobody... who uses saidit instead of reddit...

For what it's worth, Reddit is 16th in global traffic and gets 52 million daily active users. There is much more of a benefit visiting several news aggregate sites than there is when visiting only one. If you want to be informed, you can rest assured that your visit to Reddit will not help them.

Chiefly, that is info I didn't ask for...

Secondarily, reddit is not and had never been the best source for news and never EVER should been used as a primary one. Reddit is, however, a good place to find articles to keep abreast of the propaganda streams from the msm BUT nothing more than an echo chamber if you dive into the comments section for discussion. If I want news I will stick to my usual going to several sites and figuring out where the stories line up.

Thirdly, as I stated in an earlier comment, I know my lack of traffic to their site is a drop in the bucket but I do not want to add anything to it. It is as simple as that. Same reason I no longer play Blizzard games. This is, again, a "drop in the bucket" scenario but I won't budge on it.

Fourthly, all I asked for was a recap because I didn't want to visit Reddit, broseph. 5 comments in and you're still propping up Reddit like I'm missing out of some seriously sweet tang. I was a redditor for over a decade and a half and tried to stick with it as it declined but there was longer any room for healthy discourse. (Before then I modded for Digg but that's a story for another day)

So you're going to write this mini essay in order to lecture me? I don't need a lecture. All posts in the present sub will be about something on Reddit, and thus one would have to normally go to Reddit to get additional information. Please leave me alone.

If that was a mini-essay you may want to sign up for a college course in lit as soon as you get done replying to this. Might be helpful? It was not to lecture you, it was merely because you tried to insist on me going to reddit and i told you why I would not....then you brought the nonsense about internet traffic, as if that makes them not only trustworthy but newsworthy?

Most people that post on this sub post the archive or screencap.

I'm not trying to be rude, but if it comes off that way so be it. It's difficult enough to convey tone when writing on the internet let one a forum filled with people who have more vitriol than blood in their veins.

I recommend responding to other users.
