Fallout Nee Vegas has crash on startup issues day one on PC. Lots of folks couldn’t play it and I believe an unofficial patch came faster than an official.

Agree. I just got my invite today. BUt now im…concerned.

From my perspective as a user that has been on reddit for a while, its been on a downhill slide for a long time now. The moderation mechanisms there are really becoming the downfall. Its like police or politicians, the position attracts the very qualities that would make you unsuitable for such authority.

I am also unsure what most of the 2000+ employees do, because by all accounts they are generally unresponsive to both users and mods alike when they reach out. This is as true now with the API stuff and small devs not getting traction to work with them, as it has been in the past and was a major reason there was backlash when Victoria was let go.

agree on that 100%

Agree. Hoping development makes searching for communities across instances significantly easier.

100%. At best they get a couple days and then it’ll be “okay kids you had your fun, parties over and open up. “

If they don’t new mods will be installed.

Reddit admins will likely just boot the mods and takeover the subreddits. Especially the bigger ones. Heck they may even do that to ones that blackout at all, or past the 14th.

They have threatened and done similar to things like firearm subreddits.

I agree with most of what you said. I would say classifying SVB as a seizure is probably not accurate. The FDIC only came in when it was clear SVB was going to fold and in fact insured far more than the 250k per account guaranteed. Mainly to try and stem a run on midsize banks because

1. Many companies had large holdings, undiversified in these banks

2. The banks were borderline negligent with how they handled those deposits, sticking them all in “safe” government bonds that ruins liquidity.

Once the interest rate on the bonds was lower than the base borrowing rate, no one would buy the bonds instead of just buying new bonds with a much higher guaranteed return.

So, given that, I would say the FDIC instead bailed out the banks. Something they would never do for you or I, or even a business with similar valuation as any of the banks customers.

The only thing you get out of rss is the title of the post, and a link to the post comments and whatever the external link was (if it wasn’t a self post).

I use rss to monitor a few subreddits since I run my own rss reader and monitor all sorts of feeds.

Anything that ensures accountability, especially personal accountability is looked at negatively. Its not an american thing uniquely. But it is embraced, especially in the last 20 years by companies. Its why general support is so poor, especially technical support.

I made a short comment on how to do it here
