Steve looks forward to the hell of interfacing with shareholders, which makes me giddy. Reddit is now a money machine and no longer a community. The enshitification is well underway.

On top of the presumption that any of them would even want to wear Reddit SWAG right now
Dark Reader is amazing. Not just a great idea, but incredible execution.
Extremely well put. Not the customer or product but the citizen. And try paying taxes if you're able. This is a FUBU type of thing.
How much bread do I have?
Nobody here is talking about how Exxon bucked this trend and only sells oil
Seems related
So happy you found it. Thanks so much for letting me know.
Lemmy is r/redditdrama for the next year
Yeah, or batching changes and confirming receipt with a hash. From what I've been reading, the design seems a little janky.
Those eyes are lethal
I just assumed it would be terrible because it's a hard problem to solve generally, but like 98% of the time I don't even realize it's on (and it's really easy to turn off). It's seriously incredible.
Interesting. Curious if you have a better understanding of ActivePub - do you happen to know if the protocol guarantees synchonicity and what mechanism guarantees it?
The implementation as far as I understand it is plain stupid. It prevents small instances from participating at any significant scale and seems happy to just drop data over the wire without reconciling. Seriously amateurish.
When the protocol favors monoliths, we're right back to the Reddit problem
This would look really bad for the credibility of the platform
From what I've been following, they haven't been too concerned about this since at least a few weeks ago
I believe there's going to be a moderator exodus. The flippancy with which Steve has handled this, and how he responded here, is going to stick in the craws of their enormous unpaid workforce. These are the people who have been there a decade plus, have seen the ebbs and flows, and are probably no longer willing to be unpaid servants to their clearly demonstrated monetary interests (at the expense of its users [product]). This was a turning point. They have way bigger problems to address than a 48 hour boycott.
