To help it stand out on any occasion, you coud make full-body ties to wrap around your favourite uniform.

Since the US (and therefore, the master patriot de santis as well) also cares very much about social security, you could make little badges the highlight this very noble cause.

Hell will freeze over before they change course. “It’s all in the game.” to quote one of my favourite series ever.

Is this a recent change to deter people from complaining?

Most definetly. Could also be a technical necessity if they got spammed hard (as they should).

As far as I can see, the real number is already on top of the post. And then you have the split of up/downvotes near the arrows. So the “algorithm” is just basic addidion and subtraction. Someone correct me if I saw something wrong…

Yeah. I meant pointless in the sense of “we as the reddit community want to change the companies business strategy shortly before an IPO”.

You being brought here (same as me) through the backlash-posts is great. But unless certain highly frequented subs go dark PERMANENTLY I dont see much that could sway the reddit leadership towards a more community friendly approach.

Bet itz lonely on ze top of ze world.

They took my RiF. The CEO seems like an absolute bastard. It got more and more toxic over the years. I can take some abuse but this was a bit too much. If it continues to be popular I’ll use it for information gathering just like always, but they wont get any content, interaction or ad revenue from me.

This blackout thing, while surely sending a message, will be pointless in the end imo. The bosses have decided how they want to proceed and that’s that.

on it my good sir!

Same boat. It’s kind of amazing, you can literally watch the userbase grow with popular entries getting more and more general upvotes.

Yes it is! Exciting to discover it.

I was never really interested in twitter or similar services, so I pass on Mastodon.

I have to say you make very good points there!!

Noise probably really is what hurts them most in the long run.

I disagree a bit with the “scorch the land” approach.

It may be worthwhile in the 2 blackout days, where the mods that have the few non-locked down subs will struggle to keep up.

But in general I dont think that is a viable approach because reddit is literally FUELED by rage. Rage and hate gets so much interactivity on the platform - meaning traffic as well. And traffic is exactly what we dont want to give them.

So just being obnoxious in the comments is a bad idea imo. Maybe just spamming a sub with porn is the better solution because it mostly makes mods busy (and the sub moderation worse therefore) and doesnt attract the sensationalists that are just waiting to jump into a verbal ringfight.

I already deleted my stuff on reddit. Account gets deleted on the 30th. In hindsight, the scrambled words as content replacement would’ve been genious. Didnt think of that.

short answer: yes

Honestly I didnt expect much else. The AMA announcement alone was downvoted to hell.

Why he even did it, knowing already that he wont change his mind, is a question for smarter minds than me. There was nothing to gain as far as I can see.

Doubling down on defaming the apollo creator was just the cherry on top.

What a piece of human garbage. I really wish them (reddit) to fail hard at this point.

😉

Yeah its all a bit confusing.

Say, you find an entry in https://beehaw.org/c/creative that you like and you’d like to subscribe to the whole community.

IF someone in your home instance (lemmy.ml) has already added …creative, you can just search for it in “communities” and you can then open and subscribe on the righthand side.

IF however you are the first in your home instance to access it, then you have to add it manually.

I do the following (someone more experience may enlighten us if there’s a better way):

• Use https://browse.feddit.de/ to find the community or just copy the link of the main community (in this case https://beehaw.org/c/creative)

• Be logged in in your homeinstance, click on the magnifying glass top right to search and then paste the link and search. The community will show up as a link and you can go there and subscribe.

Edited for some clarity.

Heck, I might even quit the lurkin’ life if the trend stays that positive hehe.

It all reminds me a bit of the good old times of early reddit. People who are ready for conversation, relatively few trolling (and worse) and just a community or rather communities in the truest sense of the word.

But also I dont know how it is from a mods perspective.
