Give it a try and let us know.

I think the solution is the same.

Not to mention whatever is running secretly in the modem’s computer.

I can’t help but think that the censorship would be way way worse if local governments were hosting. Not to mention that they would be most likely to require having people’s true identities when creating accounts.

A lot of tech companies have secondary offices in other larger cities where some of their developers prefer to live. Often those people will work from home, but the corporate apparatus likes to have a small amount of offices and support staff locally. They don’t need any of that… but they seem to think they do.

Truly. Most web search engines, including google, are mostly useless these days if you don’t already have a good idea where to look or it is a very common search.

You use to be able to click down a bunch of pages till what you were looking for turns up. But now after you go down a few pages it just starts repeating and it is all mostly big tech sites.

lol… irony…

but its open source… there isn’t much they can do other than beat their hands on their chest and make noise. … which will not work.

Reddit wants to destroy the mods? Then reddit should see what a world without mods on the internet actually looks like… Especially before the IPO

To be fair… reddit was originally designed to be self-moderated by the users… and it use to work really well. It would be a miracle if they moved back to that model and I would no doubt switch back to them from lemmy if they did. Those were the hey days of reddit and the internet as a whole.

They’ve been running away from their culture of free speech since 2008. The only direction they have ever moved has been in the opposite direction.

I expect most of the “popular” subs (like the one you mentioned) aren’t ones I have ever been aware of or cared to be aware of.

Its not the loss of moderators, its the loss of content. If reddit hadn’t changed their original self moderation model this couldn’t happen. Or at least, not like this.

Moderators are not responsible for making content, they just moderate a sub where others create content. Originally users moderated content on their own.

Pretty funny how reddit’s move to authoritarianism has worked against them this time.

Perhaps… but once a certain amount of people left DIGG for reddit back in the day, the whole thing quickly fell apart. I mean, yea, DIGG still exists and I assume there are people who still use it, but I’ve never met one since I left it about 15 years ago.

Its not like the API issue is the only reason, much less the main reason people want to leave reddit. A lot of people have been wanting to do it for a long time now, it is only that there haven’t been any other options with a crowd big enough to hold a conversation beyond only a few people. There is a big chance that that is now changing.

There have been a few stories about some companies getting punished for not going along with this plan of selling this private information. Like I think Qwest for example. This was over a decade ago, so I don’t remember all the details that clearly.

Reddit back before mods and subs and everything was self-moderated was certainly peak reddit. You’re nuts if you think that will ever happen again.

If we’re including those then I think we have gone full circle and are back in the safe waters of protocols

Then I will definitely go. Their new version is as bad as what digg is now. I could never use that.
