They're probably right, depressingly.
I can't make anyone else leave, but I did what I could by leaving personally. I am generally enjoying the experience over here more anyway, so I am not missing a whole lot. Maybe a couple niche subs, but I was considering working on launching equivalent communities over here.
Their tools are just not up to keep track of all these things.
If only someone developed some third-party tools that could better help them with their job...
Marxist-Leninist. Of the type that would probably unironically be referred to as a tankie.
I don't see capitalism as a sustainable model for the world, you cannot grow infinitely with finite resources, and there is no way effective way to "reform the system from the inside". Capitalists will actively sabotage such efforts as they go against their own best interests; they are dead set on convincing labor that it is also against their best interests, and have been depressingly effective at doing so.
I believe that humanity will naturally move towards a more communist world order as a unipolarity gives way to a multipolar world. Probably not within my lifetime, but either humans will get there eventually or we will die out trying.
How could you possibly doubt the word of uh... Jefferey Tromp and his good friend Romaine.
Of all the assorted protests I saw, I liked what interestingasfuck did the most. Just said "f it, here is what subs will look like with the bare minimum modding" and walked away. Mess up their front page, their advertising, and actually show what an unmodded major reddit sub would look like.
If every sub had done that instead of some milquetoast 48 hour blackout, I think it would have been at least moderately more impactful.
They can't delete it as far as I am aware. They could delete all posts and perma-private it I think, but that would be extremely tedious and the admins could revert everything a lot easier.
When you're working within their frameworks, effective protests are limited. It's why I just left.
Wrong Station: Episodic horror podcast based out of Canada. Very well written and superbly well acted. The only podcast I actively subscribe to the patreon of.
Nextlander Podcast: Gaming podcast from 3 of the founding members of Giant Bomb (Vinny, Alex, and Brad).
The Jimmy Dore Show: Comedy/politics talk show. I don't actually agree with his political takes 100% of the time, but that is more interesting than listening to somebody who always agrees with me.
I am really curious how this will pan out for the casual city building enthusiast.
I liked everything about Skylines a lot, but I always ran into a roadblock (ha!) with traffic. I never designed well for it, resulting in my cities locking up by mid game. I briefly tried to learn, but it seemed almost impossible to retrofit a solution and trying to design from day 1 with traffic in mind wasn't really enjoyable. I always wish there was a mod that just abstracted traffic simulation out because it was the one thing I didn't really want to deal with.
Dealing with parking and accidents sounds like kind of a headache, but the smarter lane changes and path-finding hopefully alleviate some of the load as well.
Microsoft out here treating studios like most of us treat new games on Steam. Acquire them and then never do anything with them.
Google, that company famous for creating new technologies and supporting them for long periods of time. Definitely something I am interested in becoming an early adopter for.
iOS, iPhone X currently. Still works fine so haven't felt much pressure to upgrade. Battery still great, performance is good. I don't use my phone for pictures so haven't needed a better camera.
I have considered changing brands when I next upgrade, I would sorta like to get a Huawei phone. I am just so used to iOS at this point, I am worried about the learning curve. I struggle to use other phone OS the same way I struggle to use non-Nikon cameras, my brain just refuses to work right. Throw me down in front of a new desktop OS and I will usually grasp it instantly. It's weird.
Honest question, why keep quiet? I assume they are aware of the shit that went down in Reddit, if you provide Lemmy as an alternative some may actually try it and end up liking it more. The more people swap over the more it becomes an attractive alternative for others.
You don't have to be obnoxious about it, but just a suggestion could interest them.
