Verstappen: What happened mate?
Checo: I didnt see you coming. You got a very good run.
Verstappen: Oh. Ok. Not intentional?
Checo: No.
Checo: Turn 3 tho.
Verstappen: Oh, my mum is calling.

I'd say reduce the limit to 600 for verified accounts and unverified to 60 and new accounts to 30.
The world will be a better place.
Nobody wants to listen.
When it happens it's basically overnight. Like stretching a rubberband that you pull and pull and think it's fine. Then you pull just a little bit too hard and it snaps. It will be impossible to put it together again.
We are no more than a few years, maybe a decade away from the hottest countries being completely unlivable. We are talking about 2+ Billion people that needs to move in a very short time. It's coming and coming quickly. We're not ready. Billions will die.
"The planet will be fine, it's us humans that are fucked." /Slightly paraphrased George Carlin.
Shocking! A Chinese company lying, cheating and abusing users data. Impossible I say.
Oh wait. It's wholly expected.
It would be comical if it wasn't so sad.
The richest country on earth can't even maintain its own infrastructure. This is the 5th(?) such failure in short time that has made international news.
That same country suffers from economic troubles.
Solve both by funding infrastructure projects.
What's standing in their way?
WIndows 11 UI is only bearable with StartAllBack. https://www.startallback.com/
Neagtive. Costs 5 dollars for 1 license, more for more licenses.
As a new community we need to identify and stamp out bad actors immediately and thoroughly (spammers, selfservers, ads disguised as posts, brigading, illegal content, racism, you get the idea).
We can't control if they create their own instances, but we can isolate them.
Oh wow. This looks eerily similar to the Digg exodus. Oh the memories.
Isn't having a choice amazing?
As long as capitalism rules the world it's inevitable that free or mostly alturistic projects will fail. Unless you have a wealthy benefactor or find other sources of income.
The original Flattr was a good idea, but the non-success and shutdown shows that people are absolutely not interested in donating without getting something in return.
The original Reddit gold, although flawed, was a good way to support a platform and show appreciation to a certain contributor.
Maybe a similar system can be implemented where the owners and maintainers get a small cut each time a "gold" is bought and given? But then the question becomes, who will administer that...
Crypto/token-based incentives in any form will likely fail because of value speculation.
Perhaps voluntary paid subscription is the right way to go? Get a nice acknowlegement on your profile, and the ability to double upvote a limited number of posts and users? Perhaps access to advanced (own)user statistics? Customizable interface? Templates? Basically cosmetic DLC with a couple of perks.
I have no clever thing to say except it seems Spez is, without joking or being mean, clinically insane.
The dedicated content creator userbase is long gone, and it shows. The casual content creator is leaving. The lurker and occasional poster will have nothing to read, except the thinly veiled ads pretending to be organic posts. It's quickly becoming a digital wasteland. Fun to digg through maybe, just like we leaf through an old book sometimes.
Reddit fumbing their own policies and implementations? Never happened before.
