Reddit CEO Steve Huffman's letter to Reddit employees in response to blackout

Starting last night, about a thousand subreddits have gone private. We do anticipate many of them will come back by Wednesday, as many have said as much. While we knew this was coming, it is a challenge nevertheless and we have our work cut out for us. A number of Snoos have been working around the clock, adapting to...

gary,

My notes:

  • As expected, a blackout with a set end date is seen as toothless by Reddit leadership
  • I hate when companies refer to their employees with some "cute" nickname, like "Snoos"
  • He expects some Reddit users to actually resort to physical violence, painting them as the irrational bad guys in this whole situation?

Upvote/Downvote counts showing for some comments and not others.

I can see vote totals, but when I'm browsing local communities on lemmy.world, only a handful of comments will display the breakdown of upvotes/downvotes. It seems to be random to me, at least not based on a user's instance or hierarchy in a comment chain. Is this a bug or a feature I'm not familiar with?

gary,

I don't think the number of downvotes show up next to the comment score arrows until it receives at least one downvote.

In the meantime, you can hover your cursor over the score to confirm how many upvotes/downvotes a post or comment has received.

gary,

Looks like there’s an issue with posts >2k characters that the admin is aware of: lemmy.world/comment/76346

Strange, no idea what’s going on. Could be spam or technical issue with the users meaning to comment on another post.

@ruud could maybe investigate?

gary,

And another generation gap between people who use a double space after a period and those who just use a single space.

You can always tell when someone was trained to type on a typewriter when that happens.

gary,

Lemmy will likely have its own "the narwhal bacons at midnight" phase.

It'll interesting to see what it is...and then almost immediately tiresome.

gary,

The $5 rotisserie chicken has a permanent spot on my Costco shopping list.
