  • Remember when you hear that kind of talk, someone is going to get something out of it, and it isn’t going to be you.

    Before you decide on this, consider that if people half way across the world can live a better life, it’s better for all of us. Helping countries develop is great and we should invest in that. Poivrière is sure not speaking about cutting funding to Israel, or suporting the idea that there is a genocide happening in Gaza.

    Go look up what exactly he means by “useless funding” before taking this at face value. And not just from this article, but from his political agenda.

    Poilievre’s office did not immediately specify which countries or programs would be on the financial chopping block.

    Last month, Poilievre pledged to permanently stop funding a United Nations agency that supports Palestinians amid allegations some of its staff played a role in the Oct. 7 attack on Israel.

    After the accusations emerged, the federal Liberals said they would pause funds for the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East, known as UNWRA.

    The former Conservative government of Stephen Harper halted funding for the agency back in 2010, and the Liberals restored it in 2016 after coming into power. In 2010, Harper announced his government would freeze foreign aid for five years as a way to balance the budget. Spending cuts came two years later.

    There is no plan, just a history of bad planning. This is a dog whistle and nothing more.






  • Your ad blockers and “not logged in” protections aren’t actually protections. You’re still tracked on VPN and icognito. Sure now it’s not necessarily your account (although they can make good guesses), but to them it’s someone. Every month youre making it on charts of “real active user data”, helping reddit continue to look profitable as a business. They’ll likely be able to hold on a bit longer and get funding until adblockers go away.

    Just visiting reddit isn’t in my list though, it doesn’t help reddit that much. Either way I don’t see why I should leave my helpful content up for others to view. I don’t get to pick to show my post only to adblock people, so OP definitely has an impact deleting them.




  • You’re saying there is no point, and the comment below agrees with you, because the only point is that it removes threads and that’s getting old.

    No it’s not getting old, that’s the entire point of deleting posts. Reddit should not get post traffic through google for something I did, and I can take that away. Me alone won’t have a big impact, but if we all do it Reddit will have more struggles.

    In order of efficacy:

    • Don’t post to Reddit: this is what reddit needs to keep going. Reddit doesn’t produce anything.

    • If you have popular posts people come back to (like help communities) delete them, this still drives traffic and app downloads for reddit.

    • Commenting/upvoting/downvoting on posts drives engagement. If you have to visit reddit, don’t click on votes and don’t comment.

    A reminder that reddit is still struggling to IPO and sell off, in large part due to the.exodus.








  • Sure, liberals are LARPing as progressive. I’m sure you’re going to be thrilled when the conservatives start turning over abortion laws, bring religion into politics and cut more checks to the corporations. That’s what they did to our teeth last time. Or better yet, them spending time REDUCING the legal age of consent. Yknow, very cool and very legal policies.
