Good to know that Reddit can be killed for an entire afternoon any time the community wants by coordinating the use of basic site functions.

I don't have any faith they'll even push it back. That "ama" was such a disaster, spez is a complete narcissist.

Mods should just reopen but refuse to moderate. Disable automod as well.

I just won't post on the tankie instances like I didn't post on the tankie subreddits. And if the instance I'm on starts censoring like that, I'll make an account on a different one.

Preordering is dumb, preordering in 2023 when it's 50/50 whether any given PC port is going to be a total mess is dumb

I'm surprised by how quickly it's become active. Most discussions are still about Reddit or Lemmy, but even that feels like it's changing.

In general it's actually less burdensome.

The Sync dev has stated that Sync for Lemmy might become a thing one day, so there's good news on that front.

Hey there! I'm a human, not an ad. Hello fellow human! I see you're interested in [contextual keyword targeting]. I think you might be {emotion4} to learn about this related thing, [ad for jesus]!

This'll be reddit by the end of the year.

Really fast registration approval, it's nice to see an admin who cares for their community. Still kinda lost with Lemmy but so far so good and I look forward to interacting with everyone.

I like that the mobile version of the website is already more functional than Reddit's.

Firefox for Android also has this feature for anyone not using Chrome

I'm going to keep using Lemmy because I want it to succeed but reddit is pretty indispensable (for now) for finding answers to technical problems so I'll probably never fully leave.

That official app is never touching my phone though.

I'm still really struggling to get posts to actually submit.

Fortunately something like RES doesn't need Reddit's blessing to exist. A browser extension that rearranges information the browser has already downloaded (to massively oversimplify what RES is doing) doesn't need API access.

They could shut down old reddit but the only reason RES doesn't support new reddit is that it would require rewriting the whole thing. If that was the only option, someone would eventually do it.

Clearly the data is wrong. Switches Jane, who owns three hundred million switches, is an outlier and should not have been counted.

Given how long ago this experiment was, it really recontextualizes their current stance. They are moving to eliminate all access to their site that isn't the official app.

kbin.social is on beehaw's linked list, not the blocked list

I know I've instinctively opened Sync a couple times already. I assume a lot of people who use reddit are lurkers as well, who don't really pay any attention to the quality of the homepage and will just browse like nothing changed.

Definitely a shame to see this. But with all new communities it's important to be vigilant for that kind of toxicity, and I'm definitely gone the moment I get a sniff of it seeping in over here. Not like reddit was any better, you could barely go a week without a random subreddit being taken over by awful people.
