ultimate_question,

You should post your Beau opinion on !movies, I think since the movie sub is trying to keep its users on reddit it's been slow to get movie discussion going here lol

ultimate_question,

Looks like the kbin crew has arrived here with their /m/s lol

ultimate_question,

Ya I think a big part of the pushback is that I think a lot of people chose their "home" instance based on the guidance provided by the instance admins and then lost access to a lot of the network because of other decisions made by those same admins

ultimate_question,

Ya I'm confused why people think this is a good thing, the use cases where someone would edit a title in good faith seem very limited to people trying to take advantage of the feature

ultimate_question,

Yes it seems like this move basically reverses all the progress that has been made this week, suddenly kicking everyone out of the most popular communities just as they were starting to participate is not going to go over well. Nobody is going to switch to lemmy if popular instances get overwhelmed so easily

ultimate_question,

Agreed I don't think this will kill lemmy or even beehaw but it was definitely an avoidable speedbump

ultimate_question,

I haven't used Mastodon much but if I'm being optimitistic it feels like the reddit model (anonymous users built around themed communities) lends itself better to the current state of the fediverse than the Twitter model

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...

ultimate_question,

The employees that were receiving this message

ultimate_question,

If you care about defenseless kids why are you wasting time on this non issue when there are priests out there molesting children for real every day? There are real organizations out there protecting real abusers

ultimate_question,

Yes there's something particularly sketchy about an app that makes those kind of anti-user corporate decisions when it owes its popularity to the piracy community

ultimate_question,

I watched The Boogeyman a couple days ago, it was well shot but I think ultimately fell short of having a compelling story or antagonist. The themes and execution were very similar to The Babadook but were much more on the nose and lacked the writing or characters you'd get in a Flanagan adaptation

ultimate_question,

Kayaking on the Charles is a great time

ultimate_question,

replace them with something that doesn’t rely on centralization with lots of capital to stay afloat

There’s no conceivable reason that reddit shouldn’t be profitable right now with the market saturation they have unless the majority of people who’ve been making money off of the site up until now have been minimal effort contributors trying to get their piece of the money pie. 99% of the work is done by “unpaid” (by reddit) mods yet somehow they still have 2k people on the payroll and still need to centralize more and more capital to cover the overhead, it’s easy to imagine most of their current expenses are going to dumb corporate tech money sinks that are going out of style fast and have little to show for the last decade of spending lol

ultimate_question,

I respect the enterprise-level IT operation you run for your family lol

ultimate_question,

The old internet didn't have an all encompassing issue with bots and bad actors trying to gain your trust, a public post history is basically the closest thing a person can have to a trustable identity online, it's not a perfect solution but it helps

ultimate_question,

if I’m unable to detect the tone or intentions of a comment I’ll check that user’s posts to get an idea, if someone has a history of not being an asshole I’m much more likely to give them the benefit of the doubt or want to engage with them. it also helps ID spam accounts

ultimate_question,

Others have speculated that the API pricing model is built around customers who want to use the data for AI training, not customers who want to build apps for public use. The $20M price tag is what they’re hoping a mega corp will pay for data access and don’t care about anyone who can’t afford that much. Some money is better than no money, but for a lot of people the “chance” at BIG money is better than some money lol

ultimate_question,

This is how I watch all my movies now, I had to find a way that Netflix can't crack down on

ultimate_question,

Curious what you use a local version of MediaWiki for?

ultimate_question,

in general I would assume any subs not participating are run by mods who value their mod status more than the quality of their community

ultimate_question,

+1 for the dynavap, feels like the cleanest way to consume it and it satisfies the dry herb efficiency nerd in me lol

ultimate_question,

I knew it was time to give up when it was clear that they were not only hobbling old.reddit to drive people to newer versions, but they were also hobbling new reddit to drive people to the app lol
