Of all the reasons I've read, this one seems most plausible, as it involves actual personal gains.

Can someone explain to me why losing mod powers is such a big deal? I'm assuming those who have been moderating these communities can put it on their resume or whatever and apply for paid community manager roles to do the same thing? I

Hmm... a lot of jobs being displaced by ML are technical, and not very bullshit.

It's good that these expectations are set, and even better that they are met. We'll probably have more constellations of satellites in the future, so it's good that there are clear goals to hit to limit their negative effects

It feels like in the US, selling your body to anyone but corporations is seen as taboo. But selling your physical health, your sanity (good luck staying sane with 13 years of grinding and ramen), your young years, and so on to a corp is all

Many people using scroll sites are addicted and do it compulsively. It does not mean they are “terminally online” or dysfunctionally addicted, but they are addicted and relatively unable to drop scrolling regularly as a habit. Also, mods ar

What do you mean? How can this end poorly? Most people browsing Reddit are addicted with no viable substitutes. Breaking their addiction through continued blackouts would end badly. Replacing some mods no user cares about will hardly have a

That was always allowed. And yet, very many people are terminally online in one way or another. Even if the term "terminally online" has very strong stigma and most people would not consider to be a part of that group, they still

Probably not hard to write an adapter at all. But it's not the API that made these apps popular and appealing. It's the Reddit community. The apps would write their own adapters if there was an alternative social media website wit

Sadly very true. Most threads are very comparable to ChatGPT 3.5. I think one could recreate Reddit mostly with a LLM.

I have some old articles on my blog that always decrease in readership. I do a pass every year, change a paragraph here and there, change the alias/url, and then get 5x the readership for a few months. Rinse and repeat. Most of my traf

We trade with bees, dogs, and carrier pigeons. It’s just a matter of communicating the symbiotic value proposition to the other species.

I can't comment on laws, but I can comment on sleep hygiene. If you are dealing with revenge bedtime procrastination (it's a term) or a non-24 hour circadian rhythm, the later you have to wake up, the later you will go to sleep. M

Is it still carelessness if one knows they are going to kill people for their own selfish, perhaps greedy, goals? I don't see such a big difference in intent. I think it's more that terrorist groups have people that do what they d
