I had no idea that this was happening. But it makes sense with the decision they just made. I'm guessing they disabled X number of users on the mobile site that logged in, and tracked how many X users were converted to the Official Reddit App because of that.

That way they can predict how many users they will lose to the API change (roughly) and made a business calculation that the lost users were worth it. I'd be astounded if they didn't also have a sorting for 'value' of users as well and weighted the calculation with how many high value vs low value users didn't convert.

Wild, how close are we to 'Twitch plays Reddit'?

Good looking out! I'm not the creator though, just sharing is all.

Maybe you can have the next 1k post!

Not to jump to her defense in the least. But isn't this proving a negative?

American Muckrakers are going to have a difficult time proving that she, "[made] knowingly false statments impugning Plaintiffs' integrity and disparaging their character...."

Unless of course she and her staff were as dumb as Fox news, texting each other about how they knew everything she said on various news programs was false.

I'm not entirely sure. Seems like there will be plenty of inertia from the subreddits remaining open. I'd imagine that eventually Reddit will force them open again.

But they aren't going to be getting those moderators back on the site without some sort of change. It'll be really interesting to see how much of an impact that has.

I remember hearing something about that. I really should check it out, as a scrub who never actually finished Morrowind.

Wild, a 17 year old game, remade in a 10 year old game. That's a ton of work and dedication from the developers of this project. Hats off to them.

As someone who mostly lurked what was getting 100 upvotes like?!

For me I was more bothered if something made it to the negative than anything else. That always made me feel super crummy, but sitting at 1 was fine with me.

Another issue is timing. State(s) could drag their feet in redistricting and if it gets too close to the election say they don't have time to complete the courts request. I hope there's timeliness enforced.

Also, yes usually the house goes to the winning candidate for the first two years than swaps.

That user does have a point. The higher a barrier to entry the less people you are going to get.

Though there is something to be said for the selection of people that get filtered out. While I appreciate large communities because of the variety of view points available, the quality increasing due to a barrier of entry has advantages too.

As a side note, thanks for writing up guides for people!

Wild that it's mentioned multiple times in here how the large data sets aren't really an advantage. Reminds me of Nate Silver's The Signal and the Noise. Sounds like Google and OpenAI have a lot of noise right now.
