Reddit’s only free iOS app icons are ugly now

Laughing. My. Mother. Fucking. Ass. Off.

All they had to do was say, “ok, third party apps can stay for premium users only” and I’d probably have Reddit premium now. Instead I deleted my ten plus year old account along with all my posts that weren’t mod announcements (so only two didn’t get deleted).

Instead I’ve fucked right on off to Kbin and Lemmy and all is well. Fuck Reddit and MOTHERFUCK Steve Huffman the stupid pig boy.

r/TIHI has been banned for being unmoderated.

Saw someone complaining about the protest in a thread where the top mod was offering up the sub to whoever wanted it. I suggested they (person complaining) go ahead and step up and ask to be a mod. They replied something like, “I don’t wanna be an E-jannie…[blah blah].”

These people assume that there’s plenty of other people who will step-up and take over. We’ll see I guess.

YSK: Use RSS feeds to curate your online experience

This is how the Reddit “addicts” can get by without Reddit and help generate content elsewhere. Find an interesting article that you’d like to discuss or see other people’s opinion on in your RSS feed? Post it to kbin or Lemmy (or whatever you use).

I completely forgot RSS was a thing even though I’m kinda old. Just got the Feeder app on iOS and added a bunch of feeds I’m interested in. Now I can scroll through and it’s kinda like browsing Reddit but without the comments section.

YSK how to find the proper air pressure for your tires

It isn’t always on the drivers side. It can be on the passenger side, sometimes front, sometimes rear… sometimes they put it in the glovebox - depends on the car manufacturer.

Source: used to work in tire shop.

So many people incorrectly think they should go by the number on the tire, not knowing that that number is the max that tire can hold, not the recommended pressure. Putting the max amount in prevents the tread from contacting the road flat, which will cause the middle of the tread to wear quicker than the rest. Same for too little pressure, but in this case the edges wear quicker than the middle. Using the recommended pressure for your vehicle ensures the tread is contacting the road evenly all the way across the width of the tread, and gets you the best gas mileage and treat wear.

Reddit CEO doubles down on attack on Apollo developer in drama-filled AMA

Reply in thread

I created my account here because of this. Was on Reddit for over ten years. Won’t be using Reddit after June 30th. Trying to figure out what to do with the (smaller, but over 150k subs) subs I moderate now then I’m out.

A ‘small’ portion of the Reddit community used Apollo & RIF (and other third party apps), but those were the power users and mods.

There will for sure be some fallout.
