@Greenpepper. This is what happens when you cut most of the supporting work force, scrap a chunk of infrastructure, tend to not pay bills, and just toss crap at the wall to see what sticks and hopefully doesn't break things.

@fne8w2ah. When I was a kid, toys, whatnots, etc could be taken by the teacher to be returned when they saw fit or off to the office and whenever the principal decided. I'd assume the same rules would apply to a smartphone.
That's too bad, that is the main thing I feel kbin could use is a good app. The web app seems a bit hit or miss.
@botlt_test. Well Reddit was bound to do something like this. They were kicking them in the wallet and basically saying screw you. That said if the community voted to allow it as a rule change, then Reddit should not object more than perhaps request a slight name change or identifier. In that case the community they are swooping in to defend actually said "Let's Do This!"
Kind of a wild situation: It's reddit's platform to do what they wish with....but the platform is completely worthless without mods and users contributing and putting the time into it.
I have zero interest in going back beyond possible a big meeting type thing or something. Open office plans are one of my personal hellscapes. I can't hardly focus on what I'm doing for all the movement and noise. I do get it for certain types of jobs but I'm a dev and can collab online with less distractions and get my stuff done. My stress level is less and my boss is still happy.
@ulu_mulu I feel this will end with nsfw just flat banned on reddit or possibly a mass purge of moderators and an attempt to reign in the wild west this sets up for the new moderators. Though certainly a kick in the wallet for reddit
@stopthatgirl7 well it was either this or a complete nsfw ban. Reddit wouldn’t needs content, eyeballs and ad friendlY. Besides how dare a user protest/sarcasm 🙄
It's sort of like the old school forums of yesteryear. On the ones you are interested in I'd suggest browsing them to see if you like them or if you just wanna jump in subscribe to several and see if you like one or more of them. Any you don't feel like you are meshing with you can unsubscribe and they wont show up unless you go for viewing everything federated/local (if more than one on that instance).
@Whiskeyomega This strikes me as we are focusing on PC(IE Microsoft Windows) gaming and supporting the XBox. We might come back to making sure it can run on other platforms later....or let Valve do it with their proton hocus pocus. In the meantime you can also experience with Xbox Cloud gaming....blah blah blah.
@Haan. I imagine if they'd said we're phasing out xyz from the api or 3rd party support over say the next year or so, it would likely had a bit less of an uproar. Especially if they addressed the tools for the mods in that timeframe and accessibility. There still would have been a notable backlash though. Their own app has not been historically that great and their mobile web is irritating in its "use the app" pushiness.
@vaguerant Yeah if you believe in an afterlife, another plane of existence.....that's when he'd put 2+2=4. Most likely he didn't even have time register it
@rangerzenith. I have it on an external drive for a secondary boot....which I've not touched in forever.
@tangelo I thought this had to be a joke, but wow. I wonder if they are anywhere near where they could respond and help (though they might need at least a general it should be around here first given the constraints on going further around or going further down).
@aranym Can we get this globally?? Then perhaps more people would get their news from actual sources and not blindly trust a random link on a social platform.
It's not dead, but the SEC sure has been really helping the consumers basically tanking the market about everytime they help....
@LemmyStartNow I loaded violentmonkey edge addon and copy pasted the script in the add (teddit version) and it works. There is a bit a delay as it redirects. But I'll take the delay over using "dead"it. now just to figure how to automate it from ios safari....
Side note: I added UserScipt extension on Safari on my Mac and IOS and copied the script in on it's editer and it works there too. iOS does have a slight delay at the moment before it goes landing on what looks like a Reddit error page. I'm thinking it's where it is attempting to hit the script as it first loads to promote their app. Still works so woot!
Horizon Zero Dawn, AC Odyssey, or maybe Maneater. Depends on the mood.
@LollerCorleone I hope so too. I don't wanna lose the wealth of knowledge and tips but I also don't want to give Reddit themselves the time of day.
@LollerCorleone will do thanks! Updated them in my browsers. Will let you know.
@Arotrios Why would I want an inferior version of mastadon? But seriously I will likely only end up with one if they auto generate it. (a few family use ig and fb as their only communication so it's checked occasionally via web with adblockers etc....ugh).
@Kovu. Your average person will go oooh Instagram, I know them. Sign me up for the new app! Privacy, security, etc never even were involved. Of course that also assumes Meta didn't just "create" one for each IG user (no clue what the usercount is).
@Johnpwrinkle Well worth it. It can handle quite a bit locally, and can stream from steam on your main pc (or be set up to several cloud services).
@metaStatic
Cool! Did not know that. Thanks 🙏
@ENEMYGUNSHIP
@metaStatic cached version?
@Atemu. Money. Same reason they don't really wanna disclose all the little fees.
@floofloof. That's a hard no. I mean if work wants to do it....ok? But on my own machines....Linux or Mac. I can just picture some jerk DDOSing it.
@Flaky_Fish69 "The John Oliver Memorial Subreddit"?
@ENEMYGUNSHIP. I've hardly touched reddit in several days. I'm thinking of keeping it for the random search I can't seem to find answer elsewhere, but I am happy here, most of the topics I went to are starting to or have moved over here, so bye bye reddit.
