I don't really have an interest in running a public board, and the reason I use(d) that subreddit was because I am also not interested in looking for the deals myself.
However, from another comment, redlib looks like a decent solution for the time being.
There's zero reason to go to reddit intentionally
Know of a viable replacement for r/bapcsalescanada?
Edit: Adding this to My flilters in uBlock Origin seems to fix the issue for the time being:
||reddit.com^$header=referer:
No bueno here, it just redirected me to a blank page. Still couldn't use old reddit.
Would love to have a viable alternative to r/bapcsalescanada on Piefed.
Well, except that I'm theory, owning a lot of shares in a company gives you some leverage over that company to drive its policies and direction.
From the article:
Hate, unfortunately, sells. Right-wing extremism researcher Kaz Ross told ABC that Meta’s “financial model is to reward content creators who get engagement, and as we know, the best way of getting engagement is to produce rage bait, extremist material, aggravating material: anything that will get people upset and arguing is the best way to get engagement.”
It’s another example of how quickly Meta dropped its once-stricter content moderation policies when Donald Trump returned to the White House. Shortly before his second inauguration, Meta loosened its standards around hate speech, particularly on topics like gender identity and immigration, two of the far right’s favorite issues.
I mean, how do you "average out" accents?
Saying "generic American accent" is about as valuable as someone doing a cockney accent and saying it's generic British.
Americans would rather have thought crime and mass surveillance than give up their guns, because they need those guns to combat a tyrant or fascist.
So anyway, how's USA's government going these days? Surely not fascist or tyrannical with all those guns around, right?
Right?

The idea of them is incredible. I grew up watching sci fi galore with holographic AI personal assistants, and AR glasses, and 3D printers, etc. The idea of these technologies is amazing.
The reality of them is a little different. It's hard to get behind certain advancements when they are completely in the control of a handful of people on Earth who have more wealth than everyone else combined. It's impossible to ethically endorse these projects when the companies responsible have time and again proven themselves to be untrustworthy. And I mean, you shouldn't trust them with your name and age, let alone videos and pictures of you—and strangers!—naked in a doctor's office.
The technology and the possibilities are awesome and awe inspiring. The society we live in is not ready for them. Hell, much of the world still hasn't caught up with how to adequately regulate and legislate for the internet revolution that happened over thirty years ago, nevermind for smart glasses that can always be recording.
