Asa backend dev, it should be a 503 error. I live in 503 land.

I mean, that void clearly looks like it has an opinion.

The entitlement of the younglins these days. I swear, they are getting soft. I have to take the current year, and add twenty, but the lazy ass youth just have to subtract their birth year from the current year. Maths will suffer because they don't have to do addition. Pure insanity and liberal malarkey.

Oh yeah, /s

An NFT as your avatar? Wow, it's dumber than I thought.

The point is to hit reddit where it hurts - ad revenue. There will be a slight spike in interests as people laugh, then the lack of original content will cause people to be bored. New subreddits will have to be created and built from the ground up. Moderating a subreddit with 40m subscribers is hard.

Spez needs to realize that going to war with the users is a dumb move.

I haven't laughed this hard in so long. The malicious compliance is epic. John Oliver can't buy PR like this, and he has got to be one of the few people that can appreciate being the face of something like this.

This is epic. Trolling level 10. Spez wanted to force them to reopen, so they did, but burned the subreddit. I can't wait for r/gaming to be only about ping pong, or r/videos to be only cat videos.

You can not force a community. And Spez has unintentionally created a community, just one that hates him.

Ironically, if Reddit has been up front and said they were killing third party apps, and kept their mouths shut they would have faired better. For a stupid play like this, speaking only makes it worse. This is going to be taught in business school on how to kill a business.

I would have paid $3 a month to use a third party client. I don't want to pay $50 for bulk shit.

Not going to lie, Lemmy needs more cats

Well, to be fair, Conservatives see an endgame to make Reddit conservative hell-hole and to re-appriate like Twitter. The opportunity for them to have the cover of legitimacy of an established brand while forcing their regressive politics. I have to give them credit -- it's a bold move and hopefully it won't pay out

I'm banking that the rando doesn't have the financial incentive to sell me out.
