It's an old (early-internet?) joke iirc. And yes, I think that's the answer
Piranesi by Susanna Clarke, and I hated it.
It takes a very cool premise, then fills it with incongruences and predictable twists that you understand chapters ahead of the protagonist. Then it all ends up being (SPOILERS AHEAD) a "humans used to literally talk to nature, modern society bad" mumbojumbo with some kind of unexplained multiverse in it.
La loro strategia è quella dell'Embrace, extend, and extinguish (EEE).
È essenzialmente un cavallo di troia per uccidere la concorrenza mentre è ancora in fasce. Bisognerebbe non solo evitare questo Threads come la peste, ma anche sabotarlo attivamente nel nostro piccolo scoraggiando la gente dallo scaricarlo.
Chiaramente non si può vincere una guerra contro un gigante e il corporate web è una realtà che non farà che rafforzarsi in futuro, ma l'obbiettivo è quello di preservare e fare crescere spazi come questo per garantire a chiunque lo voglia un internet diverso
I'm using Top 6 Hours since I'm trying to not use my phone that much, and when it gets boring I switch to Hot or New.
Sorting by New is particularly refreshing since the communitoes are smaller and it doesn't feel as a depressing ocean of posts no one will interact with.
I keep hearing this argument when it's about Nintendo, but it never happens with the other companies. What Sony and Microsoft do is upgrade the hardware and change the aesthetic of the console, and that's about it. The reason the Wii U failed is because it felt like an accessory (marketing focused on the pad and the actual console was very similar to the original Wii).
I don't think they can do anything that isn't hybrid now.
I think this is also, like, illegal? At least I the EU
Cats dying from alcohol poisoning
(I’m guessing Just Cause?)
EDIT: yup it's dwarf fortress
Sure looks like it. It's probably better for their image to be down than to have users refreshing and not seeing new content
It kinda happened for me with Fallout New Vegas. I was maybe 11 and never played anything from the series. I spent my time killer hobo-ing my way through but I always felt like I was missing something, then I started reading negative opinions about it online and got influence by that, so I dropped it. After some time I played Fallout 3, liked and thought it was much better than New Vegas and decided to give NV another shot (I was at 12 or 13 by then). I loved it to the point where it is probably on the top of my emotional top 10. It got me into 50s/60s music, got me interested in politics and ethics, made me become a fan of science fiction and old school RPGs focused on story and a variety of approaches. Really a fantastic game
as someone pointed out in this comment, I don't think deleting all the content we generated thoughout the years is a good idea. I still get replies on years old posts from people who had that same exact question, and the amount of information I actively find on reddit is crazy. Reddit won't care about deleted accounts and posts (and they will only be a minority anyway), and I think doing so is a disservice to every person on the web.
Unless you only posted in r/memes and r/askreddit lol
I'm Gen Z and when I was little my parents were (rightfully) very careful with how much time I spent on the internet. Even so, I saw from a distance the old internet, where forums were a thing and you could find lots of cool websites that people made for reasons that weren't limited to promoting or selling something.
When I discovered Reddit it was like I could somehow experience that time, but for many the decline had already started.
I love interacting with people, asking and answering questions, discovering and making others discover new things, but I just can't stand feeling like everything and everyone is trying to sell me something anymore.
Now that I'm here, I feel like this could be the place, at least for a while.
I don't quite get how a "collective art piece" could get "hijacked". If it can be hijacked than it's only collective and collaborative for the ones that Reddit likes.
Of course this is the only way they could present it, but as far as I'm concerned the cool thing about r/place, in principle, is that you can see the chaos of the world, with opposite views, opinions, goals, tastes, interests sharing the same space, the same place, and interacting with each other.
I'd much rather see swastikas alongside sickles and hammers, stickmen being murdered alongside unicorns, dirty jokes alongside the Mona Lisa, than this corporate PR stunt.
I think it also shows that the protests have been somehow successful. Sure, Reddit won't fail, but if they decided to do another r/Place it's only because they know how loved it is by the community and hope to make people forget about the disaster.
