I’m sure there will be ways around it. Mods can automod-delete every comment, change the rules of the sub to only allow posts of nonsense, or nit moderate at all.

The main problem is that protests don’t succeed at reddit because people like moderating for free for some reason. Strangely Reddit has more leverage over mods than mods have over reddit.

yeah, the only problem is that this results in the best talent leaving, you’re stuck with people who have nowhere else to go. it’s one of those short-term profits kinda things, which is why Wall St loves it so much.

This just means they’re a struggling company who needs to cut headcount and want to do it without paying severance

Pretty sure youtube is revenue generating on its own now. Youtube doesn’t work as a loss leader because it’s so different from all other products.

at this rate, in 20 years some asshole capitalist will figure out how to monetize air as a subscription service and we’ll all be living in a true dystopia

More government intervention in markets, because that’s what Republicans stand f- oh wait, er…

Whole party of fuckin weirdos.

maybe we can tell the Iranians to go after Russians directly, and Russians to go after Iranians directly, and kill two birds with one stone?

And before someone comments about the ultra rich and their private planes, their emissions is basically nothing compared to the rest of air traffic.

Yes but it’s a hugely disproportionate amount for one person, how do people not get this?!

Using the same logic, i shouldn’t do anything about climate change myself, because everything I can personally do is basically nothing.

Historically, Israel shows a lot of willingness to make disproportionate trades to get their hostages back. Like, they’ll release 100+ enemy hostages to get one of their own back.

shadowbanning is a totally different issue that’s existed for a long time though.

This is really sad. Beautiful place too.

1. Rather than fighting against ad-tech , they’re caving. If someone comes into your house to punch you and rob you everyday, do you say “let’s find a solution that we’re both happy with, how about you rob me and don’t punch me?”

2. We could have argued about how privacy-protecting this is, and whether it will actually prevent further intrusive tracking. Perhaps I might be persuaded to keep it. But the fact that I wasn’t informed about being opted in when upgrading, and the fact that the CTO is doubling down on “users are too stupid to understand this”, means they’ve lost any trust and/or willingness for me to listen to them. Turning this off for good.

They will keep doing what they’re doing

Wrong.

This plea deal helps them quantify the cost of safety lapses, which they didn’t have before. Now they know that they’ll only get fined a tiny bit, they know that it’ll be worth it to cut further corners if that helps them sell maybe 5-10 more planes in total.

that’s fine for a small discord group but it doesn’t scale. you can’t be that active in moderating millions of conversations.

downvotes (and hiding downvoted comments) is a community-driven way of signaling unacceptable behavior. it largely works, except in echo chambers.

I mean IBM is still traded but it’s a shadow if it’s former self

It’s real easy to purchase your first home, all you need is a can-do mindset, an always-hustle attitude, and a small $2m loan from your dad. Anyone can do it!

this is what is known as “a feature, not a bug”

It CAN BE amazing in certain situations. Ceo tomfoolery is what’s making generative Ai become a joke to the average user.

genuine question: do people use twitter to catch up with folks?

As much as I hate it, I still occasionally use fb to message old friends, and instagram to keep up with friends. twitter… used to be for following celebrities but i’ve gone off that since (and if i wanted to, i can do that on insta).
