But! You could exchange it for stuff at the reddit store!! /s

I believe they’re referring to collective ownership https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Collective_ownership

You’re not wrong, but it’s an interesting point you bring up. They were willing to stay on Twitter with Musk’s antics, but it seems like they aren’t willing to put up with another Musk and another set of antics.

😅😂 OMG this is so accurate 😅😂

Is it just me or is there an unethical way to try and entrap reddit here by posting your real name, deleting the post, and seeing what happens?

I hear you. The best I can do is tell myself that hopefully the Coast Guard personnel and other mariners got some practice/training which will be useful in emergencies in the future. And it’s still right to try and save someone, even if they put themselves in the dangerous situation.

Lemmy, kbin, and Mastodon are all different ways to view content posted to “the fediverse” which is basically a bunch of different small servers communicating with each other. They’re basically different ways to do view and interact with the same posts, kinda like how you use different services (gmail, etc) for email, and then access that still with different software (browsers, or thunderbird, or what have you). For instance, right now I’m responding to your comment from kbin on my desktop browser.

The only award that ever mattered was Reddit Silver: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E8RPorI6bis

Right now some guy is typing “COMMENCE OPERATION ASS FUCK” into some fucked up window

Right? I liked reddit, but old.reddit was imperfect at best, and needed RES. New reddit was always an unusable hot mess. Kbin is like three weeks old and it’s already better than both ever were.

I used to work at a liquor store and we had one regular customer who paid with a bitcoin card. This was around 2015 or so. It was funny because he said it was because of “anonymity” but everyone knew him as “the guy who pays with bitcoin.”

No, and I also seriously question people’s obsession with gold.

Hey. Biplanes are actually much more relevant in today’s world than crypto. They aren’t common, but there are still new biplanes made because they are a valid solution for certain problems. Unlike blockchain.

Yeah, journalists are really dropping the ball on communicating what I think is very simple: it’s fine for Reddit to charge [something] for their API, but these prices are totally unreasonable. Charging hundreds of thousands of dollars for something which costs pennies to provide is absurd and unethical in any context.

When 3rd party apps are blocked on July 1st, Reddit is no longer going to support accessibility features that blind mods and users need. Reddit’s owners don’t seem to have considered how much work it’s going to be to provide said features “in-house.”

Yeah it’s pretty impressive watching kbin get more stable in real time.

For real, as an American I’m super grateful.

there are very few people who would prioritize a replaceable battery over other features.

I gotta gently push back against this. You may not know them personally, but there are a LOT of people who have gone back to dumbphones over this. IMO, this is a large part of why dumbphone sales are catching up on smartphone sales for the first time in years. I even know some elderly folks who stopped using cell phones entirely when smartphones stopped having replaceable batteries (easier going back to having a landline when one is retired/not raising kids, of course).

There are very few people who buy the currently existing smartphones who would prioritize this feature, yes – because anyone who does prioritize this feature has been excluded from the entire smartphone market for several years now.

You use terminal because you know what you are doing.

I use terminal because I want to feel like a hacker in a 90’s movie.

We are not the same.

I THOUGHT I WAS THE ONLY ONE!

No seriously, .compact reddit on my phone and old.reddit with RES on my desktop were all I ever wanted. They haven’t gotten rid of old reddit YET but I can see the proverbial writing on the wall.
