  • The Internet has also been very dumbed down.

    What happend is that corporations took over. Sites like Reddit, Facebook and such have their “code of conduct” that limits what you can post and violating that results in losing your account. Both examples made this a very painfull punishment as a Facebook account uses your real name and Reddit make sure that you can’t really make a new account after being banned. The last decade it’s been very noticeable how people start to self censor with bullshit like “PDFile” or “unalive”. We’re living in a 1984 Big Brother re-enactment.

    Januari last year I was banned from Reddit over nothing. I did manage to get a new account for allmost a year until I got banned again, again over nothing. But during those months I did experience a lot of selfcensoring because the thread of another ban.

    It’s not so much “dumbed down” as it’s become company territory with workplace like rules and policies. And we’re being treated as unpayed personel.
