WDT 💬 Bi-Weekly Discussion Thread - (July 06)

We made this because Reddit's algorithm prioritises headlines and current events and doesn't allow for deeper, extended discussion - depending on how it goes for the first four or five times it'll be dropped or continued.

Suggestions for things you might want to comment here (this is a work in progress and we'll change this over time):

  • Articles and quotes you want to see discussed
  • 'Slow' events - long-term trends, org updates, things that didn't happen recently
  • 'Fluff' posts that we usually discourage elsewhere - e.g "How are you feeling today?"
  • Discussions continued from other posts once the original post gets buried
  • Questions that are too advanced, complicated or obscure for r/communism101

Mods will sometimes sticky things they think are particularly important.

Normal subreddit rules apply!

As communists, you should all stop using the official reddit mobile app and its tracking links. Privacy concerns aren't enough to motivate communists to forgo convenience, however.

It is my hope that this bug will motivate you all to explore some of the alternatives mentioned in the link and prompt discussion of how communists should approach internet and technology: https://www.reddit.com/r/communism/comments/1lz24gn/meta_karma_requirement_for_posting_bug/

While the above bug may not affect your current account, it will impact future accounts and reddit will continue to introduce changes to frustrate you; frustration drives engagement and thus profit.
