Malicious compliance, love it!

Of course there’s no viable alternatives to Reddit. Why would someone create another dumpster fire?

Reminded me of a guy whose comment got rewarded so much that he said he would have premium until the 2030s.

I think it really depends on how real the 1% rule of the internet is.

TBH I believe that 90% of mobile users uses the official app. Maybe they don’t know about 3PA, or simply just don’t bother. 3PA might be “for power users/advanced users” to them. All they want from Reddit is just the laugh (and porn probably) when doom scrolling. Not to mention because there is an official app, it’ll be the first result when searching “Reddit” on the app/play store. Most of the time people will just go for the first/official one. This whole API/protest thing will just be another Reddit drama for them and they just don’t care.

However, I believe that this whole thing affects those 1% users the most. For mobile users (of the 1%), I believe most of them are using 3PA. As the official is just too bad. For everyone else (of the 1%), if they care (even just a little bit) about Reddit, they will be greatly disappointed with how Reddit handles the whole situation. They will either have left already, or will be leaving soon. Which then the question will be, to where?

Obviously, users tends to go to wherever places that has the most interesting content to them. If enough 1% users left Reddit, migrated to Kbin/Lemmy, and continued to create content over here, I think those 99% users will eventually migrate as well - especially:

1. The content are created by the same 1% users, so the content will be similar to what they consumed back when they were on Reddit.

2. Reddit is full of repost bots, which hopefully should be more obvious when no new contents are being created anymore.

There’s also another possible but quite pessimistic possibility:
Some of those 99% users became the new 1% users, and began creating content with the redesigned UI/official app.
*Puts on tinfoil hat* Which is what Reddit wants - to kick out the “old”, power/advanced users (users who can and will protest/rebel, in essence), making Reddit into another generic social media platform. With everything under the complete control of Reddit, not its users.

To be fair, every time I click on a Reddit post on my home page, it is usually filled with all kinds of comments that I can and can’t think of already. So not much incentive to leave a comment instead of upvote/downvote.

But here probably because of the low user count, essentially we are the one that are leaving those “all kinds of comments”.

Tbf lots of popular posts on reddit is either repost or from tiktok.

This gets me thinking that this might be what reddit looked like back in the very beginning - lots of actual users interacting, making contents, etc.

This is both infuriating and devastating.

Maybe we gave the site the very first Fediverse hug of death

Where’s my r/fuckcars community on the Fediverse?

Indeed it was more difficult than S3 but kinda fits the story line I think? Unlike S3, you really have to keep your distance from the mobs. I died many times right after I got "entangled" by the rockpox (where you have to AD to unstuck) during my first mission on S4.

Jet boots + low gravity = endless fun. If you keep tapping space you can maintain your momentum.

Just once again shows that, as always, users are the one that makes Reddit Reddit.

Polarized actions like this is just Reddit showing off their inability and ignorance to the community.

All I can hope for right now is that every shitty things that happened so far is all because of spez and spez only. He’s the one and only almighty CEO and nobody can disagree him (basically Zuck 2.0?)

I use the official TDF app for live coverage during work. It’s actually quite comprehensive and full of detailed stats and info etc. For the actual video recordings of the event I’ll watch Lanterne Rouge and the official TDF YT channel channel for highlights, after work.

Other than the back button there’s no indication of whether the webpage is loading or sth. On early days when kbin is less responsive it can be confusing to know if I had tapped on the post or not.

Just finished the movie as well and I cannot describe how disappointed I am when I hear the main theme/bgm getting louder and louder, and the editing (how they cuts back and forth between the two) is clearly setting up a cliffhanger. And for sure I’m not the only one that felt the same way in the theatre.

Don’t get me wrong, I love this sequel. They clearly knew what makes the first one so good and they expanded on those elements - art style, music, story, etc. - they did it again and made them better. It’s the only marvel comics/movies/series/whatever that I watched in years just because I really love the first one. But the way they butchered the ending will make this part 2 forever right below the first one on my list, and make myself certain again that I won’t be watching any marvel’s stuff anymore after the final instalment is out next year.

Edit: just learned that the same thing happens to the Fast series as well. I guess it has become the norm now.

For mobile kbin users, you can tap the top left burger menu and scroll down just a little bit to subscribe to a magazine, instead of scroll past all the comments. The burger menu is just the side bar on desktop.

Same as you I went in completely blind. They top the first one on everything except the ending. I had no idea it was a two parter and was obviously disappointed with how they end the movie.

Agree. No matter what discord is still essentially just a chat room imo. Even with bots, read only channels, pinned messages, etc., navigating and searching for stuff that I want is still as painful as any other instant messaging services.
