my apprentice is just me ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡° )

your familiar is mothra

Your familiar would be a capybara! They are chill, make those around them feel at ease and they’re smart! They are also shaped like friends and are stress relievers. Being friend shaped, it means that they are filled with magical energy and their lack of tails mean that they can’t knock jars off of your table by wagging them, making them the perfect familiar for you.

Ok so I don’t know all the details (mostly because I cant be bothered to learn) but I think it started with a banning thing a few weeks ago. There was a fairly popular subreddit called /r/fatpeoplehate which was basically what you would imagine, and it’s posts would periodically reach the front page and it was all around a super shitty subreddit. Eventually, and idk what the stimulus was, but the subbreddit was finally banned, a decision made by (i think) the new Reddit CEO Ellen Pao (I think). There was TREMENDOUS backlash to this, I think mostly because it felt like censorship which reddit had previously taken something of a stance against (like there are deplorable subreddits out there that reddit knows about and is deliberately letting still exist in the interest of free speech, but something made fatpeoplehate different, maybe its popularity, but the people of reddit saw this as censorship). For about 2 days, reddit was inundated with new subs like r/largepeopledislike and shit like that, which all got quickly banned. Eventually that all settled down, but the overall large outcome was that a bunch of people on reddit are v mad at Ellen Pao for censoring their shitty echo chamber of offensive discourse (i am generalizing).

Fast forward to last night, one of the mods of r/IAMA, one of the biggest subreddits and probably the one of most interest to non-redditors, was banned. Her name was Victoria and she was responsible for like being the liason between reddit and the people doing AMAs (a v important and difficult job). She was one of the few reddit staff members who the community really liked and respected (at least thats what I’m hearing now, I didnt know she existed until yesterday). She was banned for, as its now coming to light, a difference of opinion between herself and the reddit higher ups regarding the direction of the site and r/IAMA. Point being, r/IAMA went private (meaning normal users cant access it anymore) in response, I think less out of protest and more out of the fact that they cant function without Victoria or someone else doing her job. Since then, many many MANY other subreddits have gone private to join this collective protest thing, there is even more Elen Pao hate than before, there are subreddits organizing this subreddit blackout thing, and thats about all thats being talked about (even the non-private, non-specific subs are mostly discussing the blackout). People are saying that this smells a lot like the great migration from Digg to Reddit of like 2006 (?) and tbh I was kinda done with reddit as a whole anyway so good fucking riddance.
