The r/blind mods said RedReader stopped working for them what a total clusterfuck to have the key accessible app not work while others are.





Meta has the users, over 1 Billion. Shouldn’t we be trying to get those users to transition to open source? They can scrape everyone’s data now and even if instances defederate.




That’s the guy that does pixelfed so it’s legit but understand the skepticism.



That is the great thing about this new system! As soon as you click join you both join the subreddit and become a moderator. To show how quickly features for reddit can be developed, your mod team is hard at work iterating on our moderator permissions. Standby, we will be announcing new permissions very soon.

Shenanigans afoot.

This should be a lesson to all remaining mods to stop putting their effort into that site. Reddit doesn’t care about who helped build it. They only care about making money for themselves.

What a shitty way to remove you. Completely uncalled for.

That is not how it works, like at all. This same thing happens with Mastodon when journalists come on with a negative attitude and don’t really want it to work so they don’t really try.

You know what I love about kbin/lemmy - no goddamn Nazis. I’ll take the growing pains of a burgeoning platform over Nazis on my timeline any day of the week.



As I write this, the top post in the “hot” tab on r/pics is a picture of Oliver flipping the double bird next to an image of Huffman. On r/gifs, it’s a GIF of Oliver hitting a table and saying “go fuck yourself” next to an image of the Reddit logo.


Two of the biggest Reddit communities reopened in the funniest way possible
“All posts must be images of John Oliver looking sexy.”

He looked at Twitter and said, “Oh, that’s how you get Nazis to the front page. Let’s do that.”
