Reddit was irrelevant in 2013. Full of reposting garbage from better platforms and never innovated past that point. Stale meme culture too.

If the data is that important to them that they kill the site, then they're more dumb than I think. Apps can be scraped too. It isn't even difficult.

Delusional to think a paid subscription would keep them from selling your identity to the highest bidder. Even if you sued them on GDPR bases they'd gladly take that loss if you somehow won so they could keep abusing you.

It's just another revenue stream to make people feel better about their poor financial decisions.

Not the end of big tech. You're likely posting from MacOS or Windows and using services like AWS, Azure, or GCP on the sites you use and abuse.

The end of centralized social media though? I hope so.

It's basically a simple cache right now. Newest = "trending". The feed trending algorithm can be improved in many ways.

It can be capitally improved by feeding you ads and astroturfed content too. But then ir'd just be Reddit or every other social.

Not the person you are replying to but if you find out an answer, I'd be interested in learning! Orphaned communities and posts with no moderation could be a tricky problem to solve.

I hope it gets created for your sake and also the growth of the platform. Special interest Lemmys have yet to take off, but it's only been a few days since the massive growth so give it some time.

How I see it there's a lot of promise here and plenty of growing pain, but it could get there.

Todd had a large hand in all three games, but I do agree. I had more fun modding Oblivion, but Morrowind was a better game, and Skyrim was forgettable for me even if the overworld is my favorite.

You could likely argue each game in the series is the "best" via different metrics and priorities.

So does Reddit though. Completely stuck in 2007.
