How has it been for you? Do you get FOMO feeling sometimes?
I use Reddit less and less but haven’t fully quit yet. Always have this odd feeling of FOMO regards content.
Not only that, some subreddits haven’t migrated to any other platform unfortunately. Or they have but the content is very little compared to Reddits content.
Note - wasn’t sure where to post this. So if this wasn’t the right place, apologies!
The issue I have with Reddit - it’s full of hateful people and most content is just bots karma farming.
EDIT: Thanks for all the responses!
EDIT 2: Thanks for the ones that mentioned RSS-Feed. Just got it and it’s amazing. Still manage to only follow the subreddits that I like without crapads.
Obviously one would choose democratically elected politicians over unaccountable dictators and autocrats. What’s the saying, “Democracy is the worst form of government, except for all the others” or something along those lines.
Regarding workplace democracy, the idealized form of this in a capitalist framework would be having lots of competitive companies in every field. You would then be able to “vote” by taking your labor elsewhere if you don’t like what your employer is doing. Now, I of course understand that we don’t live in fantasyland, and for many sectors, that might not be possible. Many sectors have unique challenges that would need to be addressed with tailored legislation, but that’s beyond the scope of an internet comment.
For land, easy, land value tax. It effectively is an implementation of leasing land from the government and solves a lot of housing issues by encouraging development of high value parcels so you don’t end up with dozens of parking lots taking up 50% of your urban centers, and doesn’t regressively place burdens on the poor.
If we manage to get to a post scarcity society where we have a lot more people than labor to get done, then I would put my bet on UBI or negative tax rates being an effective way forward.
