Yeah, I was an original buyer on reddit gold. Then I got 2 years free because of the Alien Blue shutdown, and I never reupped afterward, because it didn’t really add anything to the experience.

And by the looks of it “avatar upgrades” and “Custom app icons” ain’t really providing anything else of value still.

Exactly. But they dropped exhorbitant cost on those apps and provided no runway for them to adapt their business model. So instead - I’m here on kbin and likely going to dive into an open source project to try to help get a mobile app for this out soon.

Not if I view them using those third party apps they apparently need to charge an arm and a leg for.

And I’m fine with them wanting to do that.

The protest was less about them wanting to charge a price, it’s that in a time frame of 6 months reportedly went from “the API won’t have changes anytime soon” to “we’re going to pivot to a paid API soon” to “we’re charging you advertiser rates per x million API requests, starting in a month, and you cannot supplement with your own ads”.

There was no time for these apps to adjust their pricing models. Most were on yearly subscription models or ad-driven. Having that large a pivot in the rules with no time to adapt the business model is just shitty partnership on Reddit’s part.

But what if it's dead on my instance, and I don't want to make an account on another instance for the sake of managing a community?

The problem is that it is not tagged NSFW, despite its source being an NSFW server, so its thumbnails come through unblurred.

I’d be in favor. They don’t bother to check their content as NSFW, and, to my knowledge there’s nothing that currently exists for an entire instance to have its content blanketly tagged in that manner.

I report, and I’m individually blocking communities on NSFW servers. But that won’t prevent their next magazine from causing the same issue.

Now it’s much more believable that Garp is dead - he’s laughing while freezing.

With that said - Kuzan hasn’t really ever actually killed someone in the series. Legitimately everyone he’s frozen on panel has lived - Saul, Luffy, Robin, Buggy, Blackbeard’s crew…

I’m looking forward to jumping back to Egghead and seeing how the crew handles the Siege, and gets our stone-turned members back in action.

The Brickyard Batallion knows and welcomes all sorts. :)

I mean, personally, yeah. I’ve been on Narwhal + old reddit for half a decade at least.

You can however reach a level of confidence about a negative.

Like, I can't prove that putting my VR headset on didn't actually send me to another world... but I've got a pretty high degree of confidence that it didn't.

Quicker access to magazines I’m subscribed to is like my only actual gripe about desktop at this point. Still rough on mobile because there’s no access to greasemonkey or stylesheet override tools.

To be perfectly honest - I’ll likely stay here for content that typically ends up in large subs. Programming, World News, Politics, Ask _? That’s pretty well covered here.

But I’d use my third party app of choice to check in on subs that haven’t really taken off here yet. I haven’t had a decent conversation about One Piece yet on this platform. The Colts magazine equally dead. Game specific magazines and conversations are not very active here.

Welcome back aboard! :)

So - it looks like it was all before Luffy met up with them after Enies Lobby. Koby’s style of dress hadn’t changed yet, and Helmeppo’s style was still bowl cut and no eye covers.

That said - that’s just when Koby started training with the Battleship Bag concept. We saw last chapter that it took years for Kuzan to catchup to Garp in the quality of hits he was doing - so Koby being able to have a really destructive hit a couple of years into that type of training is maybe a little surprising but ultimately is why Garp had so much faith in him as the future of the Marines.

Ironically, reddit was open source. Here's the python source code repo for what the site was between 2005-2017. They have it preserved in an archive, and reddit the company still does contribute a lot of open source code and to open source projects, but I don't think the react rewrite of the site is included in that list.

“It’s time to grow up and be an adult company”… while implementing drastic changes that affect their partners with exceedingly little notice and willingness to allow them to have time to adjust to these drastic changes.

This makes me want to legally change my name to admin admin

Same. Except less casual.

The weirdest part to me is that it doesn’t feel like we’re getting any hints of Kuzan regretting this or even being uneasy about it. Garp was his mentor even if it wasn’t as direct as Garp’s relationship with Koby and Helmeppo.

Is Kuzan actually a baddie, now?
