They should turn to mastodon. Https://Press.coop is ready and waiting.

"Musk is bad lets go to the platform of a guy who idolizes Musk instead this will surely end well."

AND at the whim of moderators and administrators if the material will 'get you banned' or not. Reichit more like these days.

This is actually one of the main weaknesses of reddit. Was planning to write an article about it. Damn it

Just when you thought Reddit couldn't get any worse...

A trifecta is three; Elon and reddit are two. Maybe you forgot to mention the paywall?

You are not using the word "trifecta" properly.

I mean, we aren't using it in the literal sense here. Literally, a trifecta is when you correctly guess the first three finishers in a race, in the correct order.

Now, if you had a propensity for blocking people who spoke about Elon, and you had a propensity for blocking people who spoke about reddit, and you had a propensity for blocking people who linked to paywalled articles, then you could colloquially say that OP "hit the trifecta", and "won" a ban.

Offhand, I can't think of a specific word where two instigating factors invite a specific response. I'm sure there is one, but I am equally sure that word is not "trifecta".

The best colloquial term for that rant is probably "doubling down".

You are correct on one thing: I have not heard that phrase used in the manner in which you describe.

It might help to block the Reddit community if you don't want to see Reddit related content
