Nope. You need bots to coordinate pixels, people have better things to do than login there.

I think mozilla succinctly explained the flaw in the proposal. Introducing technology to make the lives of the majority better is great, but if the necessary side-effect is to permanently exclude a minority of people from the internet, then that isn’t cool.

I’m a big fan of publii - nice to use, simple, no server-side stuff, so free web hosting should cover all you need.

Peek posting, nothing more to sea hear

I’m sure there are places like the internet archive who have copies, your stuff isn’t gone if you delete it.

Reddit is like the ex who cheated on you, that person isn’t the person you knew. Now you can leave behind your stuff at their place, but why would you? You are rewarding them by gifting your stuff, making them more respectable and credible, than you know they really are.

People say move on. Move on, and take your stuff with you.

I thought every gold was bought, with points, which were bought with money. So if you see a gilded post, someone paid for that - maybe not the person who awarded it directly if they were gifted points, or received points as part of an award (which cost more points to cover that).

So basically all those awards were a good indicator of how much was being spent on Reddit and in which forums that financial engagement was being valued.

So if some ‘popular’ forums suddenly stop being gilded, then it is a good indicator that the forum has now been abandoned by the most commercially valuable participants. Which looks bad when selling the site.

So Reddit took its ball back, so noone can tell where the money is but them.

Perhaps, but his response to it was just… art.

Meh, at least the voting system works again ;)

Absolutely, and it’s a terrible defence because without demonstrable evidence of consent, it is the same case as every successful prosecution case ever.

Much easier to prove and argue would be variations on “it can’t be me, I wasn’t there”, and “it goes completely against my character to do this, and everyone can vouch for that”. Both of which are conceded by the “I did it in a romantic way” defence.

Isn’t that basically an admission of guilt? If he did a thing, you can’t say you didn’t if you are arguing you were very nice about doing it. Skirting the “but they enjoyed it” defence is unpleasant

So then it becomes a question on whether he had consent to do the thing? which is a weak argument - I’m sure every abuser will try this one during the trial.

Wefwef has renamed to Vger. The sudden influx/attention has definitely had people rethinking about branding and polish now it no longer seems like a bunch of people in a basement. It’s good

Yep, and was proud to - let me support Reddit and good contributors.

I wonder if the exodus of people like myself brought this on - the drop in awards given may have been significant indicator or less engagement, so needed to muddy the waters?
