You’re technically right, which is the best kind of right. It’s a destructive CEO story who just happens to run a tech company (into the ground)

This is like the Spanish guy kissing the winning footballer woman on the lips against her will. It’s going to be reported under sports, but really it’s a sexism story that just happens to be in sports.

But at least it is being reported and commented on, no?

I’m sure the full phrase it references is “going down in a blaze of glory”, and is just Elon’s edgy nod that he is catastrophically destroying the platform, but just enough deniability In case it all works out and is a success.

Ditto. As much as people pretend Firefox is niche, it is the only browser with lineage back to the start of the web.

I think mozilla succinctly explained the flaw in the proposal. Introducing technology to make the lives of the majority better is great, but if the necessary side-effect is to permanently exclude a minority of people from the internet, then that isn’t cool.

I’m a big fan of publii - nice to use, simple, no server-side stuff, so free web hosting should cover all you need.

I thought every gold was bought, with points, which were bought with money. So if you see a gilded post, someone paid for that - maybe not the person who awarded it directly if they were gifted points, or received points as part of an award (which cost more points to cover that).

So basically all those awards were a good indicator of how much was being spent on Reddit and in which forums that financial engagement was being valued.

So if some ‘popular’ forums suddenly stop being gilded, then it is a good indicator that the forum has now been abandoned by the most commercially valuable participants. Which looks bad when selling the site.

So Reddit took its ball back, so noone can tell where the money is but them.

Perhaps, but his response to it was just… art.

Meh, at least the voting system works again ;)

Absolutely, and it’s a terrible defence because without demonstrable evidence of consent, it is the same case as every successful prosecution case ever.

Much easier to prove and argue would be variations on “it can’t be me, I wasn’t there”, and “it goes completely against my character to do this, and everyone can vouch for that”. Both of which are conceded by the “I did it in a romantic way” defence.

Isn’t that basically an admission of guilt? If he did a thing, you can’t say you didn’t if you are arguing you were very nice about doing it. Skirting the “but they enjoyed it” defence is unpleasant

So then it becomes a question on whether he had consent to do the thing? which is a weak argument - I’m sure every abuser will try this one during the trial.

Wefwef has renamed to Vger. The sudden influx/attention has definitely had people rethinking about branding and polish now it no longer seems like a bunch of people in a basement. It’s good

Reddit was 90% reposts of other posts from Reddit and elsewhere. People content farm for karma. But if you haven’t seen the content before, it’s good stuff, let’s be having it.

Read “who moved my cheese” - be grateful for the cheese you now have. But giving thanks to who took away the old cheese forcing you to move on? Nope, mice that move on don’t do that.

Zen story: two monks walking a path come across a woman stuck trying to cross a stream, one of the monks carry her over and they continue their journey. Shortly the other monk asks “I am troubled brother, we are prohibited from touching a woman, why did you do that?”, the other monk replies “I put her down by the river, for me that is in the past, but for you, you are still carrying her”.
