I mean they have to protect all that content that they've been given for free, right?

Wow so they've prioritised the casual users over the power users... You know, the ones who actually post the content... This should go well /s

Anecdotal, but I've been talking about this whole thing to my partner. She doesn't really care though because, in her own words: "I tried to use Reddit a little while ago, but I didn't like the app"

Had a good chuckle to myself over that

You can no longer view WSJ without paying. Damn, that was complicated.

You're implying that the left and right suppress each other equally, but frankly it's only the right trying to fuck over their fellow man for profit and power. Got nothing to do with being more enlightened or smarter. Compassion though... Ye, the left are more compassionate.

Of course feel free to prove me wrong...

What would you call it then? Account walled? Log blocked? Auth doored?

[–] Kraiden@kbin.social 2 points 2 years ago

Fuuuuuuuuuuck. Welp. That's it. The internet is closed for business. Thanks for stopping by

I'm here now for sure...

...but deep down I really do hope that Reddit sorts it's shit. I had a really nicely callibrated frontpage that's going to take a long time to build back up here, and will never be the same.

There were some really niche subreddits on there that I just don't know will ever make the jump (no, I'm not going to start alternatives, thank you, but I have a day job)

Stuff like /r/happycowgifs or /r/nerdcubed

start establishing backups so they don't exist solely at the whim of reddit.

This is the really essential point that I think bares repeating. Yes, these communities fill important roles, but that is EXACTLY why we should be pushing them on to other platforms.

They don't need to move entirely, but they should be trying to mirror themselves somewhere else.

Spez may not being going as power mad as Elon yet, but he's definitely looking over there, distracted boyfriend style.
