I can already hear the voices of mods wishing him good luck moderating reddit on his own (in fact, I was certainly able to hear my own saying so before I de-listed myself as a mod).

I am impressed at how badly they are managing something that was initially merely "not the best idea" and now has become a true shitshow.

RIP reddit, you may very well survive this, but you'll never again be "the front page of the Internet".

Here's my favourites:

Blob wars is a 2d platform/shooter that is great fun (great sound effects and hilariously excessive gore).

Warzone 2100 is an RTS with a "neoclassic" appeal (something that would have felt like "the future of RTS" back when you played Command&Conquer).

Battle of Wesnoth is a hex-grid strategy games with loads of mods and campaigns.

Doesn't the ASL allow re-licensing derivative works?

Also.. do you really think that if I'm into committing war crimes I care about a software license?

Lack of healthy competition. It's plain to see from the other side of the ocean where I live... Is it maybe one of those things you can only see from afar?

It wasn't my intention to imply that it has no effect: the points I wanted to raise are that it takes a lot of work (that is, if you write a meaningful refutation: childish bickering of course requires very low effort) and that the effects it does have do not include making the original post/comment less visible (what I called "soft" moderation).

There aren't many because there is no request ("market", if you will) for them.

OpenSUSE has Yast which might be what you are looking for ("might" because, despite using tumbleweed, I never used it and I even actually uninstalled it).

Any sufficiently advanced reputation system is indistinguishable from magic

How does/did the digg reputation system work?

yq ("jq for yaml" written in go) seems like a cool project and the dev seemed like a nice (but busy) person when I implemented a feature for it. Maybe it could be a nice place to start.

Also, it doesn’t help that they communicated it poorly making it sound worse than it actually is.

The Ask Noah podcast has an interview with Mike McGrath from RH and, besides trying to argument that it will now be illegal/impossible for downstream repackagers to just use RHEL's source rpms, they say that the whole thing boils down to RH stop de-branding RHEL sources and feeding them back into the Centos git.

Personally, I guess they initially just decided to stop working for Oracle/Alma/Rocky for free (after all, there's no reason for RH to do the RHEL de-branding anymore since they killed Centos) and then saw an opportunity to try and spin the story into "clones will now be worse than RHEL" and "clones are morally bad".

I don't really know enough about this lemmy thing to comment on the merit of your decision... let me just thank for putting so much thought on this for my sake too.

Could you clarify what "defederating" entails precisely? Does this affect only the communities @beehaw.org (as if all users from those servers had been banned), or does it mean that I won't be able to see communities, posts and comments from those servers through beehaw.org (as if those servers didn't exist)? is the effect retroactive (ie. do already existing posts and comments disappear)?

Is this really "World News"? C'mon.

OP was about data caps on landlines... yeah, at first glance I too thought it could only be mobile

If really bots are being used for this, will that also contribute to the traffic metric like a normal user would?

no: bots generally use the API and, even if they went through the web ui, bot traffic doesn't generally trigger tracking (you could write a bot that does that, but it would be extra work)

I love how much effort they put in this every time!

If you wanna listen to more of them, here's the full playlist from SUSE's channel on youtube.

Seems reasonable when you are on the offensive
