Linus has done a lot for him, that is probably the main thing.
I thought it was because he was a producer.
Actually, they're not only judged on appearance.
Some drama is just down to their politics (authoritarian Marxist Leninist in the main), and some relating to their moderation based on politics (bans for users posting articles critical of China, allegedly). You should be able to search and find recent treads, here is one I still had a tab open from yesterday:
Another part of this is people's concerns about whether their politics influences their development of Lemmy.
God, I loved RoN! It was like a better version of Empire Earth which, to me, was already like a better version of Age of Empires.
I mostly enjoyed the era changing, my favourite being the Napoleonic era. And I remember it having a good choice of campaigns/scenarios to play.
I thought RoN would spawn a series of titles but I think they just had Rise of Legends which was interesting but definitely not the same.
Interesting, I thought the sound mixing in films was poor because it was designed for cinema viewing and then not optimised for home setups. But I don't watch many movies on the big screen anymore. I thought at least some people were enjoying good quality mixing haha
Another auto industry scam. Unnecessary, unsafe and wasteful. And we buy most of them on finance plans (in the UK).
Sounds like their chip is part of a botnet
Do you have any plans to start redirecting users to your new spot, while keeping the subreddit open?
This is the root of it. Reddit is not profitable (like twitter) and between my experience of Reddit over the years and stuff spez said in recent interviews, and the whole blackout situation recently, it's obvious that profit is the main driver for the business. It's funny referring to Reddit as a business, but that is now its primary purpose and descriptor.
I imagine the past few years have had a knock-on effect on social media businesses including Reddit, just as it has for the energy, food etc industries. What are the margins per user for ads served? It's got to be razor thin these days especially when Reddit employs thousands of people doing who knows what. I know they had to hold off their IPO due to the market and recently laid off some staff, they are clearly in bad shape as a business.
Would this actually be a GDPR breach? I was thinking about the right to erasure/to be forgotten earlier in relation to a post I saw about how your posts aren't deleted on other federated instances, if you delete them on your home server. But I figured it wasn't applicable because it's not personal data and I'm thinking the same about this Reddit issue. Can anyone set me straight?
