In case it hasn't been suggested before, it might be a good idea to give users the ability to block a whole instance, rather than one magazine at a time

Imagine watching Twitter circle the drain and thinking "I should make similar decisions"

What he's been saying is that the Russian Ministry of Defense has been lying to Putin. So I'd say this is Wagner and Putin working together to manufacture a face-saving pretext to leave Ukraine.

Edit: I see this morning that Putin is denouncing Prigozhin so, maybe not!

"Now if you'll excuse me, my ship and I have an appointment to keep at the bottom of the ocean."

Even if this were true, 3rd party moderator tools are going away as well, and that affects everyone. I've heard it said that it's basically impossible to moderate a big subreddit without 3rd party tools. If so, those communities will rot, and Reddit is unlikely to respond fast enough with improved tools.

The real migration will come later, and more gradually. This was really more of a good trial run.

So they're obligated to check, hmm... so if someone were to, say, call them 10000 times about 10000 different locations...

I always felt "subreddit" was silly. I call them communities, even on reddit and that word works for me.

There's been an awful lot of final rate hikes

Since someone answered my question with a direct message (hahah), I'll share it here. If you click on the person's name, there's a "send message" link.

On a desktop browser this is on the right sidebar under their profile pic (if they have one). On mobile, that same panel is almost at the bottom of the page.

TBF, the emergency exit is still there, you just can't access it

It all comes down to whether or not the fediverse gets big enough to be a real threat to reddit. If so, reddit will suddenly become a lot more interested in improving their experience. I doubt they'll reverse course on the API, but we'll probably get some perfuse apologies and a real attempt to improve their app and website.

June 12th won't change their course. But I think there will be a much bigger mass migration starting on July 1, and that may be what starts to move the needle.

I think there's a loud, negative minority that WILL stay there, and it's going to become even more of the type of place that they like.

The real win is having a viable place that people can go instead of Reddit, to force Reddit to compete and improve itself in general. (or have a place people can go if Reddit ultimately shuts down)

To that end, I would stay right here, and then someday if Reddit improves enough, maybe consider using both.

As a kid I always thought it was weird that they named an action movie after a brand of car battery

I reply to comments extremely well!

Over just the last couple of days, kbin has gotten so much better, I honestly haven't even thought about checking that other site what's it called? r-something? Can't remember
