And here I always thought the 2nd verse started “O Canada! Our home and native land! True patriot love in all of us command.” Too many hockey games?

I view the protest as a shot across the bow. The warning about how much impact the changes are going to cause if Reddit doesn't back off. Reddit management has gone with "damn the torpedoes; full speed ahead". It is the next round that is going to indicate whether mods and users are really ready to bail.

This exactly. Employers will put pressure on all wages with the simple "I can pay a 16 year old $8 an hour to do the same thing. So I CAN'T give you more."

The whole point of swearing on the bible was to get God to be involved in enforcing the oath. So your disbelief may negate this aspect. On the gripping hand, you also swear in front of a government representative to get the gubmint involved in enforcing the oath. And if it is in their interest to enforce the oath; they will. With guns if necessary.

Are they calling it "Jesse Watters Down the News"?

@spriteblood On my desktop running kbin in a browser, there is a OldGreyTroll -> Settings -> Appearance option to pick what your homepage defaults to. And ./sub is one of them. YMMV.

At this point I am going into Reddit to figure out which of my subscriptions I want to find a different way to access. So either I am finding a similar magazine in kbin or I'm moving the source to my RSS aggregator (Feedly).

Interestingly, as I bounce in to do a look/see, I'm seeing a whole lot less interesting content. So the moderator "revolt" is having a big effect for me.

Using Firefox on a Windows 11 box in kbin.social: Next to my username is a bulleted list icon. Hovering on that pulls up a list:

  • Subscribed

  • Moderated

  • Favorites

  • All

Selecting Subscribed brings me to //kbin.social/sub. This seems to be what you want.

That is supposed to be “feed the old troll donuts”
