Refugee from Reddit after 11 years. Very happy to be here in the Fediverse and have no interest in going back.

This says absolutely nothing new about Gizmodo they haven’t already telegraphed loudly to the world.


Don’t worry, if it translates anything wrong the Gizmodo editors will just insult anyone in the comments who points it out.


Apple used to brag about how Macs didn’t get viruses. I used to laugh because it wasn’t that they were that much more secur but because their market share was too small to be a profitable target.

Now they’ve cultivated the perfect target user base. A large collection of tech ignorant or adverse people who have lots of money to burn.


I switched when I got tired of not having ad blockers on mobile. Best decision ever. The Internet can be unusable without it.



I don’t know about ALL his treasure, but he definitely buried 35 billion dollars in there. Never to be seen again.


That’ll solve all the problems.


As someone who works in insurance, this guy sounds like an otherwise ideal customer. The insurance company would be turning down easy profit if they really cancelled his policy for no reason.

This isn’t like denying a claim for shitty reasons. If this company cancelled someone with no claims in a low risk area, they either had a good reason or fucked up.


The video is from the news station doing the story, he’s had plenty of time to stage the yard to make himself look better.

There’s a few other support containers for the above items like redis and postgres. This is all done on Ubuntu Server. But I’m slowly prepping to switch over to Unraid as I prefer the storage management on that. For me file storage and redundancy is a huge part of why I run all this.


I updated the Kbin code link to read “soon” as Hariette announced last night that once the code base is in a good place she will open source the project. https://tech.lgbt/@hariette/110585379246580704



Anyone who has open discussions on the Internet and thinks they’re somehow private is a fool. Short of end to end encrypted chat I’m not sure what they expect.


No, I don’t miss that at all. I’m here because it’s more like Reddit was when I first joined.



Pushing that much data out to hundreds of other instances might be a pain point though.


Replacing a lot of mods at once is going to result in a lot more of the latter and eliminate a lot of the former.


Putting a body in place of a dedicated admin who chose to do the job for years is not a replacement. Not to mention reducing the number of mods comes with its own problems.


There’s a difference between putting a new body in and putting a quality moderator in who’s doing it because that’s what they want to be doing.


Having bodies is not the same as having dedicated moderators. Moderating a public web forum is a thankless and time consuming task full of frustrations. Putting the wrong people in that position is a recipe for disaster.


Replacing the entire moderation team of 5000+ subs is not a practical solution and Reddit admins know it
Which is why /u/jailbaitlover I mean /u/spez is sending the message that they would gladly give total power to whatever mod crosses the picket line so they can boot the rest. If Reddit had to replace all these mods it would be complete chaos and is not much better than the blackout. They will see the same exact problems Twitter has seen since they fired most of their content moderators.
