This is like watching an incredibly slow train wreck. We know what the outcome looks like, but are (mostly) powerless to stop it unless these blackouts work.

Begun, the migration has.

I mentioned this in an adjacent thread, but as much as I hate downvoting in principle, I will gladly downvote that AMA out of principle.

And have popcorn ready 🍿

If enough of us do it, entire comment chains will be illegible lol

At this point, they should just leave the 259,238 modmail messages for the admins to deal with. Let them sort through all that since this is all their doing.

It seems like the entirety of disgruntled Reddit is either going to join some form of Lemmy (Fediverse) or Tildes. At least with Lemmy we can still all communicate on the same platform. This entire event is completely splitting up and fracturing the communities we all had and liked on Reddit.

Big if true.

If this can be corroborated, then we can possibly be closer to answering the question of whether or not UFOs have an extraterrestrial origin. I highly doubt though that claimed physical evidence will be forthcoming.

Still, hashtag I want to believe.

They don't need it to. They just need to have enough clueless investors for the IPO and snazzy graphics to mislead them enough so they aren't looking at what is actually happening that Reddit is actually imploding.

I see an outline of a QR code in there. How well would that work if someone could just vandalize a single pixel within the code and break it?

I found this to be amusing:

Printing out code is counterproductive and an utter waste of paper. Like having a "Print" button alongside EULA agreements.

Wouldn't be surprised if it's just a gigantic, mess of nested if-else statements.

Hmm not surprising considering Russia has been drafting ethnic minorities for their war instead of pulling from Moscow and St. Petersburg. As such, they've been taking a considerable number of losses for a war they didn't even want, and of whom losses Putin sees as expendable.

QA: "I'm clicking the block button but it isn't doing anything anymore!"

Twitter mgmt: "That's ok, instead of fixing it we'll just remove the button."

I'm sure all of the alphabet intelligence agencies are making Discord indexable now for themselves after the major leak a few months ago.

We need to petition the Unicode Consortium to make it so.

I wouldn't mind joining Tildes as well. If I could figure out how. The /r/Tildes recruitment post is locked.

That would explain why the Russians wanted to blow the Nova Kakhovka Dam. It would prevent a giant pincer movement from the Kherson direction if the Ukrainians are attacking South along Zaphorizhzhia.
