I would absolutely think I just got cursed off I had opened the door to see that happen live

It was always clear Reddit would not change course.

The real question is whether the fediverse found enough room to germinate and if Reddit's days are numbered.

I'm all in on the fediverse.

Even if it were all legally fine, something is wrong if that many people are coming forward.

Yeah this whole thing isn't simple. Even if he's cleared of charges, these allegations are old and that makes them hard to prove or disprove.

Further, the quantity is concerning. Maybe he's just prolifically sexual but my gut can't really get passed how many accusations there are over such a long span of time. Even if innocent, still creepy is my opinion.

Actual answer, there clearly isn't one ideal body type and that's good for the species. I like the show Physical 100 because it does a good job showing that.

Personal answer: imagine the peak performance of humanity if balls weren't on the outside!

My gut says this is an effort to make employees feel good after layoffs and protests, but also this looks to be someone to juice the monthly active users metric before an IPO roadshow or fundraising or something.

Ironically /r/place would be a good opportunity to win users to the official app, they probably should have done that before the API price changes to shake the tree of third party apps, so to speak.

Anyways, this is going to be 80% "fuck /u/spez" memes, a German flag, the Apollo logo, and a perfect OSU game logo.

I almost decided to make an account just to participate in the new /r/place, but then I would be supporting Reddit.

Instagram in app browser user agents include your devices resolution and colour info, so I think you’re right on those features.

And for a video app checking if headphones are plugged in is actually useful (Apollo used to deal with this well).

Needing your health days in the permissions though???

I don't think the quality of the front page changed all that much in the last month.

It has long been screenshots of twitter (primarily WhitePeopleTwitter, BlackPeopleTwitter) for years, at least since 2016.

Also short form video is all the rage and Reddit is really pushing it, but that basically means it's just all TikTok re-uploads (or crops of TikTok, or crops of TikTok of crops of Youtube). The new Reddit video player is really mostly screen recordings of things.

The last year or two once Reddit became really really mainstream has had a lot more repost bots though. They basically do two things: farm small subs and repost their content into larger ones, or pull content from the front page from 6+ months ago and repost it (even the top comments are often blatantly reposted). The bots coincide with reddit getting more into ads and mainstream advertisers.

But, there have been prolific reposters like Gallowboob for many many years.

That still makes it impossible for a user to ever delete all their comments, which is the CCPA complaint

There’s a real irony in naming your submarine after a shipwreck, neglecting all safety devices like the shipwreck, and talking about how the hull was indestructible.

The models are only trained up to 2020, they're not updated with new data but the internal prompt and moderation system are updated to reflect changes in use and moderation escapes.

One thing I've noticed: if you land on Google from search around 20% of comments are from now deleted accounts. Try searching "best bike reddit" and see for yourself.

I think the hypothesis that power users are leaving is showing itself to be true.
