Why buy Reddit if you can make a copy of Reddit? Facebook plans to make a copy of Twitter.

I have discovered that if you leave a Corelle plate outside during the winter, in the spring it will be broken into little bitty pieces. It can't handle the freeze and thaw cycles which surprised me.

I didn't know that. Thanks for the info. This seems like bad coding design that one cannot see their own history as it is disappeared externally via the actions of a sub.

It's not thankless or stressful if all you do is just enforce the overall corporation rules plus perhaps some locally agreed upon additional rules. If people want to post sunsets and nobody is writing you emails to complain about it, t

He was making a joke. If Reddit took a stressed joke attempting to defuse the situation a bit as a threat, it really makes the statement that their management or outreach team really does consist of mentally slow people who should experienc

This is why Reddit if they want to be a community needs to allow ELECTIONS. Our MPPs and MPs are elected for multi-year terms. Why not require that mods be elected for a 2 year term and that they have to campaign to be re-elected? If they a

I was amused to see yesterday that my comments the day previous that some, but not all, reddit mods are paid had been silently deleted. I didn't get a bot message, they were just.. gone.. So, the corporation is watching, or the mod tha

It is true. Walking down the street, you gaze with more enjoyment at a garden someone took the time to make presentable and not so much the other property with the random weeds all over and perhaps an empty can.

Twitter is not a corporate proxy of the US government. Is that a piece of propaganda you were spoon-fed by your government?

Might as well ask why didn't all forums on the internet close down and become a subreddit as well? Choose the right tool for the job.

If you want to be alcohol free, then just don't have another drink. Maybe save the weed for the social events but not at home. It would certainly be cheaper. It's not procrastination because you're attending the event anyway.

A better question is, should we wall off autocratic states instead of granting them access to servers to rifle through people's text messages and email as they please? Why not? Do these autocratic countries obey the laws of the countri

BlueSky is invite-only and it's something the previous Twitter founder is putting together. I am skeptical it will go anywhere, not just because of network effects asking everyone to switch to a new platform, but also because well, if

Since Musk took over, I've been getting recommended a lot more right-wing topics and people. Maybe they were always there and just getting suppressed by the previous management, but I suspect there is a finger on the scale to try and p

I agree matching a refresh rate to a video's frame rate is great. It makes the experience that much better and I have my video player change the refresh rate automatically every time, so good on Netflix for exploring this. However, thi

So it is! Good job finding that. They should have captioned the image like regular media does.

Why does this article have a photo of a random woman? It's not the VP, it's not the author and it's rather unlikely that it's the VP's lawyer.

The reason Usenet can't work today is not for the reasons you surmise. I used Usenet before the Eternal September. The reason it worked back then, is because to a certain extent, it was a relatively homogeneous group of users, meaning,

Some of the planes were F-16 and F-18. Use camera footage from the F-18, run it through the low-resolution blurring filter to pretend that's as good as it gets for an airframe that entered service 44 years ago (yes, I know the avionics

That was only the 1st one which China owned up to. What about the other 3 objects that had fighters scrambled from both the US and Canada and of which no photos exist and no-one has claimed ownership of? One object was blamed on a hobby bal

In 1783 the Montgolfier brothers flew through the skies for the first time ever in a hot air balloon. It wasn't even sure if humans could survive being in the air so the King wouldn't let them send humans aloft until test animals

During the "balloon shootdowns" earlier this year, NORAD referred to them as objects and some people looked a little shook. They wouldn't show us pictures from any camera.. not from the planes, not from the missiles, nada. Ye

It's literally what transit providers do with a leaking tunnel. They just keep pumping grout or epoxy into the crack until it stops leaking.

My favourite bug there (unless it's actually a feature?) when people post links reddit will intentionally break urls by actually inserting "/" in the link url especially if the urls have "_" to separate words i

Yes. It's an absolute steal of a price to pay for something that persists in the environment. It seems like a big number to people who live off a paycheck but if you compare it to a project like a section of highway construction or an

You know what I learned recently about Reddit that I found unimpressive? They have a site-wide ban on posting Telegram links. So as a result, Twitter gets to be the middleman between Reddit and Telegram. Reddit is partly owned (10%) by Tenc

What happens when the server op decides they don't want to run it anymore and pulls the plug? Or alternatively, when they decide they want to get involved with this or that.. server ops are dictators.. just because it is on the fediver

The majority yes, but some of them are Reddit employees and are paid.
