That Reddit will not shut down. It will take the hit and go on and probably make at least some money. Only, it will be a much different place, more like Facebook or Instagram, in that it will be full of ads and less specific information....
I am not American... But I have to say, this sounds just so comically evil it seems something only a badly written cartoon villain would say, like "I will kick all puppies and banish chocolate"
I have noticed this couple of times, I can't reply to users from kbin.social. The loader keeps spinning, and if you refresh, the reply doesn't show....
The "fediverse" wasn't prepared for the sudden onslaught of users it is receiving from all instances these days... I'd say it will take a few weeks before everything stabilizes and all instances get an upgraded infrastructure.
Let's just be patient!
Honestly, I was thinking about making a post about the exact same thing, but I am glad you beat me to it because you are obviously much more informed and articulated than I would have been!
I agree, Reddit will go on and make money, but it will be a much different place, more like Facebook or Instagram, in that it will be full of ads and less specific information. It will cease to be a niche space and become another, more generalized social for a more generalized public.
In short: we, aka the people who migrated, simply are not their intended target anymore
Thanks for building up this community here! I used to love reading it on reddit. I have a story from many years ago, I'm not a good storyteller but I'll try!...
I am definitely interested, but I have a question: if I entered the beta testing, what would be my responsibilities? I ask before I have never beta tested anything...
Thank you. Honestly I am very nervous about it, I am still unsure if I will subscribe. The problem is more about me being a tech noob than anything, I am really just a casual user who has learned how to Google tech/computer tutorials when needed (and even then, with mixed results lol) so I worry I would be a useless tester

Thank you for the tip! I am actually using it for kbin, because on my tablet for some reason it wouldn't let me install the PWA, and I am finding it very pleasant to use! I'll try it on my smartphone as well!
In my case, in the paste week I've done it again and again, but every time I close and reopen kbin, it's back to all... So I just chalk it up to a bug of the site
Getting fed up with people not marking their NSFW content
It's happened multiple times today, I go look into the most recent posts in "all" , I am happily scrolling, when BAM! NSFW....
The harsh truth is...

A few thoughts about the blackout and the future development of the Fediverse.
It started as an answer to a comment, but then I figured it might be worth a post on it's own....

Question about beta testing

How to search the Fediverse?
A week ago I could just use google to search for something specific and just append 'site:reddit.com' in the query and found the answer....

Silly kbin question - how to show content from my subscriptions?
Like I go to kbin home and it seems to show everything, i'm probably just missing some little button.
