Give it a try and let us know.

I think the solution is the same.

There are a ton of them.

It boggles my mind how few people use hot keys and ALT to navigate menus. Something that has probably been a standard on computers since as long as I have been around (the 70’s) …

Any of them would be better than someone who is openly bought and paid for by the next biggest world power.

Reduce war and not try to force mass vaccinations? (Scary)

That would definitely be the day I stopped checking in. New reddit looks a lot like what they changed digg into, and is about as useful.

Not to mention whatever is running secretly in the modem’s computer.

I totally agree. At the very least it provides the opportunity for debate or the option to just agree to disagree.

I don’t know anything about the Q stuff, but I certainly qualify for how many characterize the first two. I don’t get any value out of name calling and meanness, but it is important to freely voice my opinions regardless of whether anyone else agrees. I’ve never understood why some people have such a problem with that.

I have lived my whole life having opinions that not everyone agrees with, it really isn’t the kind of thing that causes “PTSD” for crying out loud.

Don’t need an article to tell you that a service that requires private information (cell phone number) is not interested in your privacy.

Are you thinking the quotes are not correctly attributed?

I can’t help but think that the censorship would be way way worse if local governments were hosting. Not to mention that they would be most likely to require having people’s true identities when creating accounts.

Truly. Most web search engines, including google, are mostly useless these days if you don’t already have a good idea where to look or it is a very common search.

You use to be able to click down a bunch of pages till what you were looking for turns up. But now after you go down a few pages it just starts repeating and it is all mostly big tech sites.

lol… irony…

but its open source… there isn’t much they can do other than beat their hands on their chest and make noise. … which will not work.

Reddit wants to destroy the mods? Then reddit should see what a world without mods on the internet actually looks like… Especially before the IPO

To be fair… reddit was originally designed to be self-moderated by the users… and it use to work really well. It would be a miracle if they moved back to that model and I would no doubt switch back to them from lemmy if they did. Those were the hey days of reddit and the internet as a whole.

They’ve been running away from their culture of free speech since 2008. The only direction they have ever moved has been in the opposite direction.

I expect most of the “popular” subs (like the one you mentioned) aren’t ones I have ever been aware of or cared to be aware of.

Its not the loss of moderators, its the loss of content. If reddit hadn’t changed their original self moderation model this couldn’t happen. Or at least, not like this.

Moderators are not responsible for making content, they just moderate a sub where others create content. Originally users moderated content on their own.

Pretty funny how reddit’s move to authoritarianism has worked against them this time.

Perhaps… but once a certain amount of people left DIGG for reddit back in the day, the whole thing quickly fell apart. I mean, yea, DIGG still exists and I assume there are people who still use it, but I’ve never met one since I left it about 15 years ago.

Its not like the API issue is the only reason, much less the main reason people want to leave reddit. A lot of people have been wanting to do it for a long time now, it is only that there haven’t been any other options with a crowd big enough to hold a conversation beyond only a few people. There is a big chance that that is now changing.
