CEO Steve Huffman says tech giants should not be able to trawl Reddit’s huge store of data for free. But that information came from users, not the company
i saw a spez quote, one of the sickest things i've ever read, about how people are sharing things on reddit, especially in mental health / recovery spaces, "that they wouldn't even share with a therapist", and isn't it a fucking travesty that that hasn't been properly harvested and monetized
"There’s a lot of stuff on the site that you’d only ever say in therapy, or AA, or never at all … But we don’t need to give all of that value to some of the largest companies in the world for free."
beehaw initially seemed like a nice good natured well rounded place but they got controlling and weird very quickly. never even let me in, i typed pretty good faith answers and haven't heard shit ofc

no, sometimes people suck and deserve to have their sentiment downvoted - at least on a site where voting has to exist
on proper forums where there is no voting, there are better ways to discourage behavior, like just ignoring the user / posts. but if the buttons are there you want to click them
it's so nice being able to see actual downvote count again instead of total score as well. glad lemmy has no motivation to remove that at the moment [what was reddit's reason? spam prevention? not worth it]
I loved Reddit for what it is, but nothing made me back out of a post faster than seeing the top 3 parent threads as a regurgitation of the same inside jokes, pun-chains, and so on.
yeah, it's almost a bit intimidating to post here now the fun has settled. you have to think of a whole thought about a somewhat serious topic and sometimes that's just...ugh
i get this a lot randomly as well, on any platform. i assume it's just a bug, sometimes hours later it'll have worked on the server side, sometimes not. very annoying

why does taking the subway feel like some marvelous metropolitan experience where you're one of many in the bustling inner workings of a vibrant hub --
but being in traffic, with the same people around you, in the same city, feels oppressive and annoying and shitty
I love how thoughtful everything feels on lemmy

Important to remember only 3200 subs originally committed to the blackout. We had almost 3x that number join. More than 2x are still dark!
