That link linked to /modcoord at perhaps dozens of moderators promised to leave, which is far more impactful than users. I know just from watching kbin, lemmy and other sites grow from this summer on that hundreds to thousands likely left reddit. Unfortunately it’s probably a drop in the bucket but Web 2.0 was always probably going to win. The only real way I can see of us getting out of that en masse if when each site inevitably kills themselves through mismanagement.

I actually used to rely on that, using site:reddit.com for most searches. Reddit had some of the best in-depth discussion and tech advice I could find. Compared to the multitudes of blogs, YT videos, and decades-old forum posts that normally came up, reddit usually provided useful info. And it’s pretty much the only reason I’m ever on the site now: the only results for some searches are on reddit.

Eventually if the quality of the posts decline, their SEO presence probably will as well. But google has been absolute dogshit for about a year now so who knows what that field will look like in another year. =/

Ever since earlier this year I’ve had WAY more friends, family and news articles I’ve seen mention or link to reddit than the past. I don’t know if it’s confirmation bias since I left reddit or if it just gained popularity at the same time or what. But I used reddit for ~12 years and few other people in my circle used it heavily. Now it seems like it exploded?

I more meant if you require companies to send you goods to review for your business to work, then you can’t be impartial.

Why is it hard? At least to get an approximation since you can’t measure everywhere.

We know temperatures of the mantle and both cores. We know their size. We can ignore the crust as a rounding error. This approximation will improve as our measurements get better.

Untrustworthy. Real reviewers buy the product. If you are reliant on companies to send you product to review then you cannot be impartial.

The yule parts are good. The lights, the family, the drinking. Do what we can to chase the terror of the long night away.

People admire those that do things they like. When a LOT of people like the same person it can turn into a feedback loop. Couple that with parasocial relationships and easy communication via the Internet and it can easily blow up. We’re also programmed to like people that are popular because others like them.

Didn’t we use things like irc in the past?

Bad faith is trying to pretend that antizionism in 2023 is different to antisemitism.

This argument is bad faith. Or you’re just plain wrong. You can pick.

You’re all over this thread defending Israel and now you’re equating Jewish people with the Israeli government. Bad faith arguing.

To pull this off, the Raspberry Pi is programmed to act as a router. Any lookups that are associated with Google’s push service are redirected to a nonexistent IP and blocked from reaching your phone. When the mailbox door is opened and you place a phone inside, an ESP-32 is activated which sends a notification to the Pi that it’s okay to allow push notifications through.

I’m not well versed in networking, but this reads to me as it blocks and sends all notifications to the void and then while in the box the Pi allows new ones through.

The question then is do push notifications need an ACK and if they fail to receive one do they try again? I know cell carriers can tell when you’re out of connection and can delay notifications and packets until you reconnect but this is slightly different.

With how this routes push notifications to an invalid IP, will they be resent or are they lost? When you put your phone is the box will you get all your missed notifications or just ones coming in while it’s in the box?

Also your guests will think their phone is broken or your Wi-Fi is down.

At least Raphael is charming.

They could just make a souls-like game set in Soul Reaver. It was already an action game.

It’s not like anyone ever got them to clean them up anyways. Cities tired of this shit should just drive around with a dump truck, tossing all the Bird litter in and depositing it at the Bird HQ or local office. Then send them the bill for collection.

I can’t just abandon a bicycle or throw trash on the ground, why is Bird and all of their customers allowed to?

I remember when doge coin was a joke and was worth nearly nothing. sigh

Yep. The goal was to kill all the apps to normalize using their crap. Same thing Google is doing with youtube: make adblockers difficult so that paying for YT red is normalized.

Yeah, an AI telling you your post will get deleted sounds like a great way to suppress specific information. Political ideas the mods/admins don’t like? Pushing back against right-wing hate? Calling out blatant advertising? I can think of lots of ways this will probably be abused to steer conversations into advertiser-friendly topics.
