It gets slightly annoying when you want to use a non-recommended extension (like RES). You either need to swap to Nightly or something like Fennec (on F-Droid). Then you must curate your own collection of extensions on addons.mozilla.org and finally set your browser to pull from that collection.

extreme far right buffoonery

Like the title said, it basically started off with Nazism. No devolution of discussion required.

I think if I were modding one of the remaining subs I’d just keep going and make Reddit keep digging a hole. Replacing the mods for a few of the subs? No problem. For all of the protesting subs? Yeah have fun with that Reddit.

At this rate he’ll be in a bunker next week claiming mods have taken over the Reddit headquarters.

The Roommates.com case was about a questionnaire they had that was in violation of fair housing laws. They weren’t immune there under 230 because that was something the company itself put out. From what I understand it wasn’t just them taking moderation action or management of user-generated content.

No. The only thing they don’t have that immunity for is the employee statements made on behalf of the company, etc. The whole publisher/platform distinction based on content moderation is just pulled out of someone’s ass.

Unfortunately the tools for mass editing and deletion will probably stop functioning on July 1.

Yeah Power Delete Suite doesn’t respect the timeout limits for edit requests so it misses things sometimes.

One of the legal advice subs – I can’t remember which – was going forward requiring post approval from mods because they value community safety. But as they are unpaid volunteers they estimate it could take up to 14 days for post approval.

Yeah I would suggest they found /r/PicsForScabs /r/GifsForScabs, etc etc etc if any users have a problem with the new direction the communities have voted to go in.

It doesnt’ belong to Reddit. You give them a license (transferrable and non-revocable) to use the content. But in the EU that is superceded by the GDPR.

Yeah but with a nice golden parachute.

I did it after the “noise” memo leaked. 12+ years of Reddit gone. I left Digg in the Exodus and I’m not taking Reddit’s shit either.

He’s mad the value of his stake in the company is going down the toilet before the IPO.

Spez said in an interview I saw a few minutes ago that they would not be forcing subs open. Do you mean to tell me Spez – Steve Huffman, CEO of Reddit – is a liar? Who woulda thunk it?

Devs said that was discussed and rejected by Reddit. They’re stuck on that $12,000 for 50M figure. Because the goal is killing the apps.

Specifically she was thrown under the bus by kn0thing (Alex Ohanion).

In a sense, yes it speaks to the downfall of all these platforms. But it’s not a new phenomenon. Enshitification, specifically as a result of venture capitalist investment money.
