This is like asking what the difference is between a filing cabinet and acrylic paint.

Yeah... no, he was canned for being a shitty immunologist

Do you really want to type in a 8 digit pin every time? No

Speak for yourself. I literally do.

It'd be a mix of both for me. I like what I'm seeing on lemmy, but reddit is enrimous and users won't flock here in the same numbers if reddit does an about face.

Quite the most literal collapse.

There's a great documentary about him called The Internet's Own Boy. The FBI bullied him to suicide by hanging decades in prison over his head for a minor, nonviolent, victimless offense; the horrible, horrible crime of ... downloading some research papers. Yes, I'm aware that he tresspassed (ish) into a wiring closet to do it, but that hardly justified the charges. The Man wanted to make an example of him to show what happens when you have aspirations of actually people from the shackles of absolute, unchecked capitalism.

He was a brilliant, precocious mind and a champion for online freedom. Were he still around, he would be disgusted by what reddit has become. It's everything he fought to prevent.

Damn, that takes me back.

Neat. Just out of curiosity, you actually bill 1¢ (ish) per hour?

No worries, great to see other subs following suit!

No, it means the subreddit inaccessible to everyone except mods and admins. It's effectively suspended to everyone else.

First subreddit over 10M to go private.

If I'm not mistaken, the first was /r/videos (about 30m subscribers)
