You're right. Call me a pessimistic tinfoil hat but there is a good chance that Reddit Inc. is playing both sides here. This has been a contemporary tactic employed by many authoritarians of our times recently, a tactic I'd like t

If you already own the domain, one way of staying free is to use Cloudflare email redirection. Cloudflare has a feature such that if you own xyz.com, they can redirect all mails coming to <address>@xyz.com to any other email you provi

It's not a good sign that capitalism is creeping into journalism. When the flow of money gets to decide what your ink writes, the doom is already upon you. Now, there are those who proclaim that they get funding through crowdsourcing a

That's a very dicey prediction to make. It might be dead in the long run but for now, the pent up traffic will all start flowing back to those subs. And who knows, who is to say if the newly installed mods are better or worse than the

Exactly, I see merit in your comment. They are making it some kind of "David vs Goliath" situation where spez is the Goliath but judging by the ease with which these mods were able to close shops and killed traffic to their subs a

There are entire websites like layoffs.fyi[1] and layoffstracker.com[2] that tell you which tech company laid off how many. I don't know about other industries but at least IT and a few others are undergoing a bloodbath right now as fa

Is it just me or YT also has this curious habit of pushing and promoting electoral politics video content more and more despite knowing full well that you don't watch such content?

This "hopelessly devoid" answer has this interesting nugget at the end which I didn't knew earlier (and I strongly suspect many people here also don't know!): - Use a third-party Reddit app. If this is indeed true, it me

Sometimes, the time and situation has an energy of its own. It didn't matter whether Leibniz invented calculus or Netwton did, someone had to do it at that time (as a matter of fact, they both did independently in their respective coun

It grew organically to the best of my knowledge. But the extent and addiction of various mods' dependency on these third party apps was something that came as a surprise to me. Didn't knew they actually depended so much more for m

We need proper Economists at the top to fix this recession. Unfortunately, the way our politics is styled and flows today, it's not the John Maynard Keynes kind who make it to the top, it's the Mccarthy and Trump kind.

Isn't it true that most implementations of copyright laws (irrespective of country/region) will likely have fair use exceptions for things like parody, journalistic reporting and archiving?

But why does that monopoly exists in the first place? If it's owing to their piggy backing using the search engine arm, this is certainly the competition or anti-trust commissions should take notice of and act upon it?

To be honest, this happens with every other technology. When the railways came, you can imagine what the horse and pony carriage riders must have felt about their employment. When commercial airplanes came, the railway engineers must have f

The most logical theory here is that this is some grand high order strategy to bring it down just like the way of Digg. Even kids don't act in as dumb a manner as this CEO is acting and even if he did act, other board members would hav

It depends on country to country. The cheapest option is probably sending out OTPs in text messages to their phone and validating that. Verifying someone's phone number is also a form of KYC though a very low grade one.
