that's both unreasonable and not the right way to approach this. Your assumption is that if you knew the names of all possible processes that you could then be in a position to make better decisions. the problem is names are useless - it's trivial for software to run under different names, so believing names can help you somehow is a waste of time.

Is there any way to block an entire instance, instead of just individual communities one at a time? My feed has a ton of stuff from feddit.de, I don't speak the language.

good grief i hope not. Email & captcha are reasonable; a short form essay on why you should be graced with the ability to participate is super cringe.

stupid is as stupid does.

meh, I don't mind it. Add the content you want to add. Scroll on past the content you don't want to read. It's not a big deal.

fair but the issue has never been about charging for API usage, it's how much they're charging for it. Not sure if you're implying that a single app using the API should pay enough to double reddit's total API operating costs for all apps, but if so, that's pretty unreasonable.

Agreed. they also know RES only works as long as old.reddit.com works, and once that's done, desktop is shit.

Reddit is used to brawls between its 57 million daily users. Now its keyboard warriors are directing their ire at its CEO, Steve Huffman. Thousands of moderators overseeing the site’s so-called subreddits are on strike. It’s a wrinkle in Reddit’s plan to go public, and a sign that plan is premature.

The same twitter that has gone in the shithole and is so bad that they're literally getting courts to order their eviction for not paying rent.

I mean I know there are bigger issues at play here, but can't help saying: Ewww...i forgot how gross it is when not using old.reddit.com.

ya my immediate reaction was "wow, how tone deaf." It's pretty clear to me that this clown is just repackaging the same talking points the VCs are using to influence his weak-minded ass.

I don't know about the rest of you, but even working a full time mid-career corporate job, I think I can make time for both. It doesn't have to be either-or.

so juicy, hats off to them.

Nope. I was a constant listener and eventually, a supporter. That stopped many years ago. They are not what they used to be.

Reddit is redirecting some impressions away from existing communities, and some advertisers are pausing campaigns.
