It does if you want to migrate your favorites and subscriptions.

Considering that this is the most hated person on Reddit other than spez himself, no tears were shed.

It’s not going to have a direct material effect, but it’s going to affect perception. There are already people cautious about corporate influence on Linux, and a Linux distro getting closed like this is going to be seen negatively. While Fedora and RedHat are separate entities, they’re close enough for one’s perception to rub off on the other.

What’s old is new again. I actually still prefer IRC to Discord or Telegram, never could get into it.

The misuse of this meme is one of my biggest meme pet peeves. Have people forgotten that in that scene, his vision is clear when he’s not wearing glasses? So the meme should be the other way around.

Yeah, I’ve seen some people upset about these things and complain that it doesn’t stop the flow of traffic, and that in fact it may increase interest in Reddit. Some want the blackout to continue indefinitely. But that’s impossible since Reddit will just force the subs open and replace the mods. So the next best thing is malicious compliance. Sure, Reddit will still see traffic from people curious about what’s going on, but these meme-y protests is still rendering the site essentially unusable while still keeping to the letter of Reddit’s demands.

I assume they’re realistic enough to know that this really won’t go anywhere and that the whole point of the discussion is simply to make some noise.

Except if r/worldnews posted Onion articles, all they’ll be doing is predicting the future.

r/art also held a poll. It’s over now and John Oliver won.

This is informative and unfortunate.

I do generally charge my phone at night, but I do it while awake and unplug it before I go to sleep. It’s increasingly rare these days, but I just don’t want to risk the potential fire hazard of leaving a phone plugged in.

Ah. So basically China’s Social Credit system, but for Reddit.

And when you do it, make sure you stare at them unblinkingly to assert dominance.

Curse their sudden but inevitable betrayal!

His failed Meta VR project was essentially a federated system where various companies could run their own meta universes and visitors could cross over from one meta universe to the next.

Counterpoint: All pictures of John Oliver are sexy.

That’s their TOS. Their actions recently — namely undeleting user posts and comments — run directly counter to their TOS. They’re essentially claiming ownership of the user submitted content by doing that.

So basically, according to Reddit, they own everything on Reddit. That means all the the CP, hate speech — and in this case, piracy — that are posted on Reddit are Reddit’s responsibility. Bold strategy, cotton. They’re basically waiving their net neutrality.

Looks like it checks out. https://mstdn.games/@chris/110553477682106144
