And how should that work? Unpaid mods have to do even more subreddit politics than they do already? How are the users supposed to gauge the work of mods? Most users don't even know the difference between a comment that was removed by t

People only put up with so much bullshit. If you allow the annoying and loud trolls in your subreddit you alienate the more reasonable users that bring in quality content and worse case those quality content moves elsewhere. What I learned

From personal experience I can tell you that pushshift being cut off has impacted my ability to mod. I often looked up suspicious users and seeing what they wrote in other subreddits helped me decide if they were worth the risk of a second

It's not that everybody wants the API to be free. Like couple it with Reddit Premium and rate-limit the hell out of free usage. Even the Apollo dev said that he might have been able to pass down the ridiculous price tag down to his use

Every day that passes I’m getting more convinced that the best move to improve the likelihood of a successful IPO (which IMHO this whole API clusterfuck is all about) is to fire spez and install a sane CEO. How can it be that he is still in

It looks like the AEO removed it although I think as a normal user you actually can't distinguish if it was actually removed or the user just used that text. Great job at development, as usual, by Reddit. But the modlog on new reddit s

You want to google "anti-competitive practices". Though I don't think Reddit is doing that right now. We would hear this happening a lot more if this was implemented site wide. It's more likely that the mods of the speci

It doesn't make sense to go all-in all at once. You need to have leverage afterwards as well. Also you have to think about the media coverage. This way you have two times the possible media coverage instead of just once and then everyb

Sucking up to autocratic rulers while claiming to be a free speech advocate is very altruistic (/s). Saying Twitter was already in the ground and then praising the guy that dug the hole a lot deeper, is also suggesting that your assess

I think it depends on how you build up your bubble. I am also a 10+ Twitter user and I had a pretty drama free and informative timeline. Whereas for some people it has always been a cesspool. Sure my timeline got worse in the last year but

You can install the "Blue Blocker" extension. That will block all Blue checkmark users you are not already following. Hacky workaround until Twitter gets better or shuts down.

Most people are frustrated because they want to be on it but don't get an invitation (me included). I'm surprised how these old tricks still work very well. If Bluesky can catch the journalist as Twitter did there is a good chance

Their balance sheet is still 1:1 as the 8% at SBV has not yet been written off. The market reacts faster of course but the market has no crystal ball. It can't predict what's going to happen.

The peg is held up by the belief that you can always get 1 USD for 1 USDC. Obviously the market had some doubts about this today and then liquidity issues drove the price down. I'm somewhat surprised that it climbed back up this fast w
