  • It truly was a dumpster fire. A part of me did wish he would backtrack but he just doubled down.

    It’s telling that they’re not even willing to work with the third-party Reddit apps. They could be true money makers for Reddit, or at the least, a way to minimize Reddit’s losses.

    Also, doubling down and deciding that the subreddits that will be going dark in protest mean nothing. He’s said as much in the past that the moderators are expendable, though, so it would not be a surprise if Reddit administration or spez personally decides to usurp those mod teams.


  • I felt this way about Twitter early on because Twitter for me was the third social media platform I ever experienced growing up, only with MySpace and Facebook before it.

    It’s sad to see Reddit go this way, but my solace is that the communities that make Reddit will survive one way or another. I’m just hoping Lemmy sees a better adoption than Mastodon has so far. I want both to thrive but I’m especially hoping for Lemmy since I spend/spent more of my time on Reddit.



  • I tried Pop!OS and I liked it a lot, but I wasn’t big on the built-in store for downloading apps as it felt a bit clunky to me. Still, it’s a solid option. Kubuntu was a pretty decent one too that I tried.

    For me I found myself going back to Windows because of hardware incompatibility. I know that of course you either need to be really good at building compatibility yourself or scouring the Internet for a solution someone else already found, but unfortunately it was one of those cases where searching ended up with those results where it was from several years ago and they just said “I figured it out” without added context.
