Cool, now do AskHistorians
You know, if we had mass tagging built in to the platform, it would solve a lot of bot problems. Probably create whole new ones, too.
I watched this happen on the britishcolumbia sub. They got too many reports or something about misinformation (my memory is unclear about this point, but there was some dispute about misinformation), so the admins closed the sub, posted a message asking for the community to select moderators, then completely forgot about the whole thing. The sub (a sub for an entire Canadian province) was closed for like six weeks. Then some random did a reddit request and they gave it to him, not the mods the community voted on. This random waited for a while, then started letting racist stuff through, and booted the old mods who objected to the racist stuff he was allowing. And Reddit made it all happen.
The idea of Reddit replacing even a hundred mods, in a single day, with anyone capable of the job, is laughable. They couldn't do a single sub in over six weeks, and even after six weeks they fucked it up.
Maybe, but I'm certain we're privileged enough that we can take it and will be just fine.
Por que no los dos? If they want to send me to collections for the 25 cents of API I use, to shitpost over the next few days till I delete my account, then hey, that's even more bad management. I'll have the collection letter framed.
idk, but somehow I did
edit: I expect I'll create a dummy app on Reddit and pull the API key from the email they send me. That's what I did yesterday, without any payment method.
They don't have a payment method for me, so gl getting me to pay that bill, anyways. I think I'd rather go to collections than give Reddit a dime.
Does that mean Reddit will be sending us fat API bills for using our own API key?
Can't imagine what they could deliver that would bring Apollo or RIF back.
I want one that's already 'there'. I appreciate the work and sacrifice early adopters are doing to help me get there.
I am working my way through Flow My Tears, the Policeman Said by Philip K. Dick. It's not a long book but it's really slow going, it's just so friggin weird that I have to put it down every few pages and just stop to absorb whatever the heck it was I just read. It's neat, as a drug user myself, to read a passage where it seems normal and then just randomly goes off into a 3 page rant about his weird racial ideas, and I just know he took a big fat hit right there writing it, sometime before I was born.
I had a crazy idea for a stand up machine, with a fairly large 16:9 TV screen, mounted so it can either be oriented like a normal TV, kinda sticking out of the arcade machine on either side, or lowered a bit and tilted backwards so a portion of the screen can be reflected into a mirror toward the player, like the old arcade machines did. Arcade mode would give a more authentic experience when you wanted that, while Full Screen mode would be good for sitting back and playing with a controller. idk if I'm describing this very well, I'll never have the extra money to do it anyways.
