Im not sure. Are those moderator functions? I was curious about the OPs statement regarding missing mod functions.

What is missing in the official app? And how many mods are using a mobile app rather than a desktop env? A desktop browser seems like it would be infinitely better than a mobile experience.

Thanks for the link. That definitely adds some extra context to the situation. I don’t subscribe there; so, that’s an easy one to miss. It got buried pretty good. But I admit it’s an important one. Unfortunately, I didn’t see it pop up on

Wow wtf. You have some serious issues. First, I agree that your attention belongs to you, and you are 100% in your right to go elsewhere. Reddit is not forcing you to view their ads. But second, you are unhinged if you think this is a reaso

I dont know. All I know is that at least 2.6mil[1] people were pestered into installing the app. And all of them decided to leave a positive review of it. Past that, I wont make any assumptions. Ive never used it. I rather be using Alien Bl

I don’t know, but that’s besides the point. Does 59% of 1% of subscribers signify a community decision? Maybe action should not have been taken since there wasn’t a quorum.

I’m not sure what language you’re using, but I’m pretty sure you have a couple of syntax issues and unintended bugs in your code. This definitely isn’t passing any reasonable code review.

I can see this starting a positive feedback loop of issues. More people get upset; so more people start deleting -- cascading failures start occurring. Hopefully their team can keep it under control. But would the current upset userbase eve

Could be an issue with too many tombstones in their Cassandra cluster. If there is an increase in deleted data (very possible given the blackout), the cluster could be having some issues. No doubt they have regularly, scheduled repairs on t

Yes, I have a strong love/hate relationship with multi-DC Cassandra.

I think this definitely could have been handled much more tactfully on both sides. Im not sure which large audience you are referring to, but Christian references a call with some moderators that seems to have sparked all of this[1]. Prior

Im curious about your source on that one, but let's suppose that that statement is true. Couldn't you say the same for Apollo? So, the large amount of positive reviews for the mobile clients also speak positively for the platform.

Thats my bad. I misread that first part. Interestingly, reddit just released some numbers about bots using the API.[1] > fewer than 100 bots total (including both moderation and non-moderation bots) currently exceed our updated free API

Youre absolutely correct. Thats why I didnt mention install counts. Apple doesnt publish those numbers, and I didnt want to make any assumptions about them. But I am comfortable assuming that those reviews come from users that did install a

How do we know that the current mods aren't paid shills also? This blackout would make a lot more sense if that were the case. They have to protect their bottom line, and the changes that reddit is enacting threatens their ability to o

> no new posts here, go there. Thats a horrible reason for users to go sign up on a completely new, unknown platform. Sounds less like a reason and more like a mandate.
