WHO SHOULD I TELL ABOUT THE KIDS ONLINE SAFETY ACT???

First and foremost, contact any senators who you know opposes these laws. The more political officials oppose this, the more likely our governments will repeal it. Please do background checks on them. If people find that the leading senator(s) opposing these laws is a confirmed predator, the media will eat us alive!!!

Contact and tell everyone you know about these new laws. Not just your online friends, but your family, your local businesses, your teacher, your professor, your co-workers at work, your boss. Don't harass them, be polite and tell them exactly what these acts do and how it can affect them. And if they agree that it's bad, great! Tell them to spread the word further!

Offer different alternatives to these laws. Put a parental lock on your child's account, put a parental lock on your child's device, filter sites from your router

Print flyers opposing these laws along with summaries of what's happening, what these laws mean, and why people should oppose it (again, we are saying "no" to something called the Kids Online Safety Act. We are going to need to use every strong argument we have)

Don't have a printer? Create a public presentation!!!

If you're favorite content creator is streaming, ask them if they know about the Online Safety Act and AI age verification (remember, it's not just YouTube being regulated, but the entire internet) in their chat. Please don't harass them!!! You will be blocked. Even if they say, "Yeah, I heard about it." Someone in their audience probably didn't

[EDITED 8/30/25] On top of contacting your senators, you should also contact tech companies, large and small, to fight these new laws being introduced. Convince them to band together to protect their user's privacy and put forth better solutions to KOSA, the SCREEN act, and COPPA 2.0. Also, throw your support behind companies who are already fighting these laws. This not only negatively effects us, but them as well

Explaining #196

On Reddit, there was a subreddit called r/196 where the only rule was that you had to post before you left. It was a successor of r/195. r/196 became a community of mostly leftist queer people with a large proportion of trans women and bisexual people, and besides a few instances, wasn't friendly to tankies, an unfortunate rarity in Reddit's leftist spaces. Reddit, in its genius, made some stupid selfish decisions resulting in moderators' ability to do their jobs getting gutted and causing Reddit on phones to be largely inaccessible to a lot of people. Thousands of subreddits decided to go private for a limited time out of protest to these changes, but a few subs would go private indefinitely until the changes were reverted, including r/196. People who still wanted the community migrated to other sites, like Tumblr.

Explanation:

r/place is a reddit event with a large canvas where each user can place one pixel every 5 minutes. The point is that communities come together and create artwork collaboratively.

When the event ends, instead of erasing the canvas all at once, users are allowed to place only white pixels so they gradually erase their own creations.

This year, the users decided to use these final minutes to write "Fuck Spez" in giant print across the entire canvas, using only the white pixels.

I've seen this image posted here but I haven't seen anyone explain it yet, so here I am.

A tip for Reddit Refugees (and anyone else who might need to hear it) from someone who has been on this hellsite for 10+ years. Don’t worry about cringe!

I know overall the internet has become increasingly hostile to genuine expressions of emotion, but we don’t do that here. This website was built on the backs of weird teenagers who could not be chill about their favorite fandom. And while most of us have matured a bit, we’re all still here. We’re all still incapable of being chill about our recent obsessions.

So reblog at will! Seriously, if you like it reblog it. If you wanna write, draw, or post about the most niche ship in the most niche fandom, do it! Don’t worry about whether your followers will think you’re corny. Don’t worry about being too genuine. We’re all corny, cringey, weirdos here.

And if someone tries to tell you you’re being cringe, ask them what they’re doing at the devil’s sacrament.
