They specifically mention open kettle canning as a bad practice. My friend and I were canning something and he wasn't sure we were doing it right. He called his mom and she said she had always done open kettle canning (where you basically just pouring boiling temp food into hot jars and seal them). I guess experts have soured on the practice.

Either way, we made our cans the "right" way after lots of googling and none of the jars seemed to fail.

While I sympathize with the moderators, I would assume that historically most subs are not moderated by experts, but yes, a decrease in quality mods and mod tools will choke reddit to death.

Thanks to Reddit i learned Docker and everything needed to self-host a lot of cool stuff - without even visiting Reddit.

Exactly, thanks to Lemmy, I now face a life dilemma of either scrolling the same posts for an hour or starting my day. Fuck.

i don't understand why anyone voluntarily works for those dipshits

Because it used to be a nice stable free platform to build a community around your own interests

Exactly. There was a time when using Reddit didn't feel like you were giving Reddit the company anything for free. There was a transaction happening. They provided a platform to interact with like-minded people, and in return you used that platform, thereby drawing more traffic to their site.

i understand the idea, i'm just not sure i can remember those days anymore on that platform.. it's a good idea..
