I'm voting for #1. Even the subs that remain offline will be replaced.

But there's a caveat-- I think Reddit will start to suck more quickly than it has, and, without some core mods and content providers, will become pretty much a shell of itself in a few years. Maybe it's before it's public; maybe it's after.

R/fountainpens. Other forums exist, but they aren't (a) as easy to use (b) as welcoming to newbies, yet (c) still full of experts.

I'm guessing lots of hobby subs are like that.

This is a bigger deal. These federal charges are way more serious than what he's facing in New York.

Maybe you F'dU, but I think you were the stars of the party.

No mugshot "because the president is recognizable" EDIT: "Trump is easily recognizable" I guess that's a thing, though I've never heard of it being used before. EDIT, I didn't quote it right, and @[email protected] caught me :)

SBC also voted to affirm the explusions of two churches, including Saddleback Church, which was founded by highly respected author Rick Warren and is one of the largest baptist churches in the country. They claim nearly 25,000 people in weekly attendance. And Warren's books, including "The Purpose-Driven Life," are used all over, including in my then-relatively liberal Lutheran church. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saddleback_Church

They were expelled because a woman acted as a youth pastor.

Wow. That's like kicking the Yankees out of MLB because the league thinks that players should be able to have long hair.

Instant Brands will continue operating as usual during the bankruptcy process with help from $132.5 million in new financing.

It's Chapter 11 reorganization, not a liquidation. I think they're big enough that they're not going to go anywhere, but they have to adopt a new, much smaller, business model, since pressure cookers aren't as cool as they were 5 years ago.

So I'm looking for a magazine that I know is on kbin, that I want to subscribe from here. I've tried typing in the magazine name in the address bar (lemmy.world/c/[email protected]), I've tried searching in the "communities" search, and I'm just not finding it and getting errors. Direct linking works, but I then I can only subscribe if I have an account on kbin. Help?

He was processed in New York, too. I'm going to guess that he's going to go through this process at least once more (in Georgia). I don't think he'll need to be fingerprinted and processed again if there are other federal charges while these are pending, but charges related to Jan. 6 might change his bail or conditions of release.

However for them, it’s not a big deal as the get the following benefits

All undesirable sane and productive users leave for fidiverse or other reddit alternatives. The remaining users will be tame batshit crazy like the users of FB, Instagram, posting conspiracy theories, lies, flames and other content that gets people riled up, but results in more eyes and more clicks. Which destroys Reddit as we know it, but still generates the income that will appeal to investors in an IPO

FTFY.

My guess? 250 devs 200 administrative folks (secretaries, hr, accounting, etc) 50 executive level 1500 marketing and communications and sales folks

:)

Can you see comments from subreddits that are still dark? I'd like to copy a few of my comments for posterity, just in case, and they're not showing up. I think that may be the problem.

Ah ha, I was trying to do the short url (![email protected]), and that wasn't working. Thanks!

It depends on how many small bills the tooth fairy happens to have on him at the relevant night. I'm only a little ashamed in admitting that, one day when only $20s were in the wallet, I may have snuck into the LO's room, grabbed a couple of singles from her piggy bank, and then had the tooth fairy give her those (supplementing later, of course).

I'm glad you're coming clean. I kinda hope that you go back and delete the fake stories, or at least make clear they're works of fiction.

Why?

Because people are stupid. They hear an urban legend about a psycopath putting razor blades in apples and all of a sudden no one can have anything but individually wrapped candy during halloween. People overemphasize anectodes to establish political views or actually make policy changes. Academics troll reddit for evidence to support theories. And "news" "reporters" pull stuff from Reddit and report it, often as fact. If it implicates criminal activity or child abuse, that might cause authorities to get involved needlessly.

Maybe your stories aren't such that they would impact policies, or change political views, or impact lives. I'm sure some of it is just harmless fun (though, when I'd participate in forums like AITA with fake posts, it sure did annoyme), and to some extent, people should be smarter about responding to shitposts. "Throwaway because my friends know my main account" should be a big, red flag. And I'm glad you got to work on your writing skill and voice. I hope you can use it productively in the future, and I wish you the best of luck. (But think about deleting or editing your posts!)

This would sure be nice--three checkboxes in preferenes 1) Block NSFW Insances 2) Block NSFW Communities 3) Block NSFW Content

The social media provider must "verify, using a commercially reasonable method" the person's identity and the relationship to the minor.

You cam do that through credit card probably.

Totally downloading this!

Meh. (1) trump will have a very special incarceration, probably some form of isolation so that he is protected. (2) I think there will probably be secret service protection (could you imagine that assignment!). (3) he signed the First Step Act, which actually reduced federal incarceration by quite a bit

I didn't say that. Because Joe had some docs in his garage with his Camaro and Hillary didn't get "locked up" even though she "destroyed" 30,000 emails, conservatives think that Trump can literally flush documents down the toilet, lie to federal officials, brag about having classified documents, and let them sit in the shitter because "the dems have done worse... by the way Hunter Biden!" I don't think most conservatives want Trump to give secrets away (though they'd probably say they weren't secrets anyway because he "thought" about declassifying them while he was president and therefore they were declassified), they don't care.
