Hope you get in. We need technically minded folk to pick it apart.

@hariette As someone with poor (but still useable) eyesight and low end android hardware. I’ll try doing my part to break things (while documenting what I can) to help you improve.

Perfect. Thank you.

Eeh. I’m just going to keep deleting it instead.

For me it is the message more than anythin because otherise they’ll just whine ‘you’ll be back.’

Posts like this are just black pilling.

Given a descendant of this technology has the potential for seizure moderation, which is something my sister basically will need as the medication she uses will inevitably require doses that would destroy her liver or leave her all but vegetative. It’s super interesting from a technical aspect and hyper-relevant.

However, given Musk’s antics especially as of late? I wouldn’t trust him to not accidentally intentionally kill people, or use it as a way to have an unremovable keylogger with the end goal of ‘Oh those are some nice eyes you’ve got there,’ or ‘lovely able to live without going into convulsions isn’t it? It’d be a shame if that changed.’

Dude’s political flambaiting. Flag and move on.

If you gotta go. Go out swinging.

I couldn’t think of anything creative or witty and hit the delete button on mine.

That’s kinda what you find out over time and as you see platforms crumble.

the platform itself is just a wrapper for the discussions. If you can find somewhere with those discussions? The wrapper is irrelevant.

Buttered, seasalt, carmel, or are you going full crackerjacks?

i’m going crackerjacks on this one. Went seasalt for twitter.

Dude, my bullshit meter blew its fuses and the magic smoke’s poured out.

‘What’s Scum?’
‘bankers, politicians, cattle kings. Scum.’

Also, as a disabled internet user, those APIs are of value for the sake of accessability. Given Reddi’ts own app is, and forgive me to use technical jargon here, steaming pile of bullshit even for those with perfect vision?

Yea fuck you too spez.

I come from the era of the BBS. The PHP Forum. SlashDot, and Digg. I come from online games ranging from EverQuest, to Multiverse Crisis MUSH, to Moments in Tyme, to Warframe, and More. I have walked messenger clients from the times of AiM, IRC and Yahoo, to Skype, Steam, and Discord.

In my thirty years of being online, this is not the first petty tyrant claiming that upset users are the problem rather than taking a long hard look in the mirror. This will not be the last.

The best we can do is grab popcorn and watch as his platform dies. He won’t admit to making any mistakes. Especially with money involved because he’s under the deluded belief that showing any weakness invites a price drop from investors. Yet this behavior? It REEKS of weakness and insecurity.

Migrate and Move On. the rest is just playing u/spez’s game.

Funny coming from a techbro that thought to farm out getting site content from that userbase he’s now wanting money from.

Like I get it if he’s wanting to not go into debt, but at the same time he’s shot any chance at user good will and assistance in the face with a cluster fat man.

‘I don’t remember getting paid for dealing with your bullshit.’

Not entirely helpful. I want to hope you’re trying to be helpful rather than sarcastic but links to follow rather than an image would be more useful.

I doubt they actually have been. I suspect this is the excuse they’re going to use to enforce normalcy t oreturn. ‘Oh all those subs? that was a psyop from blackcat. We de-platformed their mods to ensure that any influince is gone.’

But seriously. paranoia is a bullshit disease.

The writers demands seem quite reasonable and I hope that this conflict is resolved.

One authoritarian agreeing with another.

He’s realized that glomming onto Elmo is the only way he’s going to get friends who can help.

Still getting used to things here, but I have to say dark mode is damned nice.

So far my major issue is ‘why isn’t the reply thing right at the bottom of the post and is instead at the bottom of the replies?’
