Now we can see our feet hopefully some community mods will add surfboards!

theres so many useful settings and troubleshooting threads on the subreddit that are unreachable

They are going to be more unreachable now they are paywalled off from apis and now you need to sign up to see what has been written.

The real federation is the password manager in our browsers.

Wait this subreddit isn’t for computer science?

Threadjacking will not be tolerated!

Where were you when Zeus Skins released? kbin!

Yeah I’m guessing as the need for moderation of content grows as user activity on a server grows, server operators have the same growing responcibility for DMCA takedowns as well.

Someone should create server that uses the Reddit API for oauth. This way people can verify their Mastadon usernames match their Reddit usersnames.

They’ve waited a long time to profit from our conversations online for a long time. I mean back in the day reddit didn’t host any content directly until self posts were created. For images and videos you’d always link to YouTube or giffy. Reddit ran quite cheaply and effeciently.

First Reddit wanted to own the content which is starting offering to host images and videos inside it’s product and now they’re about to paywall it off and wrap it in adverts for their own client. It’s about taking your content and owning it in the sense they can charge for it and it’s taken a few steps to realise this.

Whether kbin or lemmy or any alternative survives, people should always prefer the approach of keeping content platform netural. Outside of individual forums and walled gardens. Host things outside of slack, outside of Reddit, outside of Facebook so that it’s open to the whole internet and for new platforms in the future.

Reddit users who want to continue to enjoy Reddit communities should still try and host outside the platform for the benefit of others.

Oh look at this image of a single pair of scissors. ;-)
