North Korea almost sounds like a window back to the past.

Yes! I had to use tape to black out the LEDs on devices in my bedroom because I could see all manner of blinking lights once I dimmed the room lights.

Hah, this is what I liked the most about reddit - learning random bits of knowledge about things I knew nothing about. I'm glad to see this happen here too!

Or...not at all.

There are a lot of vocal anti-threads people but theres also a lot of people(like me) who don't care as much, I just seldom post about it.

Lol good on you for asking for it to be documented. Dumbass manager

Aggregated data is always scary.

You can still delete manually. I sorted my comments by top and edited them to gibberish.

Is that right? I was under the impression majority opened back up.

Tbh I don't really care either way, I haven't been on reddit for 3 weeks now.

Nobody's ever gonna have an accurate answer.

I agree, reddit got too big to be fun. That said lemmy still needs to get bigger in order for communities to actually thrive.

They got 70m users in a few days. Mastodon has a few million after a year. I don't think Meta cares about us at all!

You wouldn't trade 1 year of your life for nearly 4 million dollars?

I personally just sorted my comments by top scoring and manually changed some of my top comments to random gibberish! That doesn't get restored!

Haha what country/state is this in, if you don't mind?

What?

Everything is a subscription model now. You wanna hear a song on Spotify, same deal

This is foreshadowing for the fact that his allergy was psychological.

You're silly, pop pop

Given all the antics by the company and the despicable behavior by spez and his henchmen, my position on reddit has gone from "I'll use it much less now that my mobile app is gone and I only have desktop access" to "I will go out of my way to avoid providing value to the company even if it inconveniences me".

I just spent the better part of 5 hours yesterday manually deleting all my top comments from reddit. They can revoke edits made by pushshift, but they won't be able to figure out which manual edits to revoke. I used to give out technical advice on reddit and I used to get messages thanking me for posts I made years ago. Now all of those posts are gone.

Gotta love the narrative here. "what's the bare minimum we can do to keep the peasants from revolting?"

All the news about reddit over the last few days have made me realise that I no longer personally care.

I mean it's still funny to read about the way subs are protesting, but I haven't been on the site since the protests, and now I don't get angry about the changes anymore. It's a sign that I've finally kicked reddit out of my life after more than a decade on the platform.

What kind of authoritarian power move is this? Lol

Yeah, reddit is restoring bulk edits made using the api but you can still go to your user profile, sort by top scoring comments, and manually change your top 10-20 comments

I can't wait for the anti-bot bots and the anti-anti-bot bot bots to start emerging...

Wat

Yea I have this problem as well. Brackets, quotes, nothing forces the search engine to ONLY return that specific term.

I would spend 6 years in prison for $23 million.

Yeah, the behavior by spez and the company as a whole afterwards was abysmal. Trying to gaslight Christian was the last straw for me (lucky he had the call logs). It went from "I'm going to use reddit much less because my third party app is being killed" to "I actively hate this company and will go out of my way to avoid giving them any money at all".

Halfway through the episode my friends and I were taking bets on whether it would be murder or rape.

Or painting themselves masturbating?

Not just that, some review site look like they were put together by web scrapers and AI.

"Is this phone better than that phone? Phone A has a Snapdragon 8000 chip but Phone B has a Snapdragon 7000. However Phone B has more Ram (12GB vs 9GB). Therefore it depends."

Thats not a review, that's just listing things off the manufacturers specs list.

I don't get that. Why not just do a regular call? Do people actually like seeing a shaky image of the person walking on a random street?

Er... What were they going for?

Don't link people to join-lemmy.org, link them to one specific instance. Once they're in they can figure out the rest

But don't you love paying twice as much for half the average speed that people in other cou tries are getting?

Oh i love this.

I wonder why...

Yes, it'll take time but this was a good kick in the pants.

All the mods should either reopen everything and stop all mod activities (ie quiet quit), or just go down the John Oliver route.
