How is reddit traffic doing?
I only know about the subs I mod.
A popular one with a couple million subscribers is seeing way less posts and less traffic.
A smaller niche sub that I mod is still quite active with no signs of stopping.

What do you believe that most people of your political creed don't?
That Trump is neither conservative (in any way) nor cares at all about any traditional Republican values

With GPL, you're programming Freedom. With MIT, you're programming for free.

I don't get the whole MIT vs GPL rivalry. They both have their uses. If you want to use GPL, go for it. And if you want something like MIT that works too.
Thankfully both exist because I think we definitely need both.

How do you (republican) Americans feel after Trump/Vance meltdown?
As one who used to be Republican and am a real conservative... It was basically what I expected. Actually I thought they let Zelensky talk more than I thought they would.
I'm a never Trumper though. So probably not what you're asking for.
I feel about it probably similar to you. With the added shame of the fact that my tribe has betrayed its own values and is a laughing stock of the world.

That's a pretty fantastic stick.
I read your whole comment and I was skeptical. But you're totally right about everything.

What shitty things have your favourite bands/artists done?
Wasn't one of my favorite bands, but Iistened to them regularly.
Lead singer of As I Lay Dying hired someone to kill his wife. (Guy he hired was actually a cop, so he went to prison)

What is a fun childish thing you still do as an adult?
I don't get to do it much anymore, but watching cartoons on Saturday morning.

As the Reddit war rages on, community trust is the casualty
Reddit's biggest asset is its community. Charging for its API may be a necessary evil to survive an uncertain future, but Reddit's attitude against its own community isn't. Reddit is burning bridges on its quest for cash without showing an ounce of sympathy. That has brewed unprecedented furor amongst hardcore users and detracted from Reddit's effectiveness for more casual users, too.
That's it right there. Everyone gets that reddit needs to charge for API. But their attitude towards the very people who worked to make reddit what it is are being crapped on

About electric vehicle. If you add the maintenance cost for battery, how does it fair compare to gasoline vehicle? On cost we have to pay.

I think they do, but you barely use your brakes due to regenerative braking. So you don't have to change it very often, if ever

throw chair over head in dumpster
The idea of this isn't dumb... but man... the absolutely horrible execution of it makes me think they had no idea what they were doing and definitely should not have attempted it that way.

migrating communities
A bunch have. But it can be difficult to get a whole ton of non technical consumers move to a platform that's unpolished.
I love lemmy. But it can be confusing at first to new users.

Elon Musk and company take @x handle from its original user. He got zero dollars for it.
Reply in thread
I don't think anyone is saying they are owed money. But just taking the handle with nothing in return is really not nice.
They could at least give the guy like Twitter Blue for life or whatever the heck premium is called now.

THANK YOU!
I've been wanting mod tools since I started using Lemmy a few months ago. Even this little bit is super helpful.
