Is he lying or have the numbers drastically changed?

Of course I saw this - hence my question. Personally I doubt there's been a drastic enough change over ten years to overcome such strong opinion. Why would I be asking that if I did not see the date?

The US draining brain in all directions.

A Compounding Storm, warns that global food costs could climb 5% in the first half of 2027.

This crisis would serve as cover for whatever additional inflation large producers and grocers can put on top.

Also:

The U.S. has been using its oil reserves to weather shortages caused by the Strait of Hormuz closure. China is doing something similar in the face of a food crisis: It’s leaning on its fertilizer and crop stockpiles.

That places China in a better position — a more resilient position when compared to the U.S. The U.S. Agriculture Secretary Brook Rollins says this makes crop yields a matter of national security.

It's known in the industry as the throw-hardware-at-it optimization. It's often effective and what's needed to buy time for software optimization to come in.

United we stand in shitting on the Nazis.

Agreed. I'll keep shitting on the Nazis.

But seriously, your post makes some strong assumptions with nothing to back them up. For example that depriving advertisers from impressions from a shit ton of users (due to the missing content) and therefore depriving Reddit from that revenue would hurt less than leaving those impressions but attach more garbage content to the ads. If anything, more enshittified platforms like Facebook and garbage media like Fox have proven that advertisers can live with quite a bit of shit around their ads. And so the assertion that this is some 4D chess move on the side of the Nazis doesn't hold water for me.

The time-limited strike argument is also flimsy. Nothing stops the mod community to do this again next week for longer or even indefinitely. The time limit doesn't guarantee Reddit that this won't happen again and for longer. And so I don't see how that's less scary than indefinite strike.

So the way to truly delete ones content is to mass edit and replace with "fuck spez"?

Incredible

Our current system is going about how Marx predicted it would. The course correction that occurred after the Great Depression has been now completely reversed and we're back staring at its approaching collapse. I don't think we can escape that long term, and we'll lose democracy in the process, unless we start moving away from capitalism. We gotta attack private firm ownership. Otherwise we'll keep getting people accumulate enough capital to buy the rest of the system and steamroll the rest of us for profit.

It is new. It's also old, like the way the internet used to be. The way /c/Canada doesn't turn into /r/Canada is by staying and engaging. 🤗💛

It is pretty exciting though.

Tons upon tons of spam accounts on spam instances:

And some, I assume, are real users.

And if we get any representation.

Bloomberg reports that big global investors like BlackRock, Carlyle Group, and Blackstone have spent the past year selling office towers, warehouses, and malls for much less than they paid. Their retreat is adding fresh pressure to China’s already struggling property market, a sector that plays a huge role in the country’s economy.

Won't someone think of the multinational investment firms..

Given our oligopolistic telco landscape, this is not surprising. Everything takes a while if it happens at all. 🤭

No that's just still Musk level.

Diaspora, here, we, come!

A Washington Post poll found that 61% of US Jews believe Israel has committed war crimes in Gaza, and 39% say it is committing genocide. Among the broader American public, 45% told the Brookings Institution they believe Israel is committing genocide, while a Quinnipiac survey in August found half of US voters share that view, including 77% of Democrats.

This is an important shift.
