What a bunch of children crying out for attention.

I've not seen this "waive moral rights or attribution" in any other site. It's not in Twitter's, it's not in Facebook, I don't think it's even legal in a lot of jurisdictions (moral rights cannot easily be contracted away).

Good news! In a few decades these temperatures won't be considered "extreme" anymore.

I loved Reddit, but after the API shenanigans and the doubling down I went sour... and then I read the latest TOS...

You also agree that we may remove metadata associated with Your Content, and you irrevocably waive any claims and assertions of moral rights or attribution with respect to Your Content.

i.e. whatever you post WE own forever and we never have to credit you. It's so horrifyingly immoral.

It's great for everyone with imposter syndrome! I used to fear I was too inexperienced, inept, unprofessional... but then this happened 😅

If only there was some sort of reasonably-priced computer-readable service or platform that organisations could use to collect data without degrading the service of users...

Until the first commercial title gets sued and then publishers won't touch any game with AI generated content

Five days ago I wrote Reddit's future is exactly one of:

  1. They reverse their changes
  2. Their CEO resigns and they reverse their changes
  3. Within a week the site is no longer relevant, having completed a #Digg as everyone leaves

Looks like we're going for option #3.

I got one of these today! Yeah good luck with that, Reddit.

Keep in mind XMPP had similar sorts of activity back when chat apps were the rage, and in the end the protocol was added to Google Talk (now dead), AIM (now removed), Facebook (now removed), and Skype (now removed). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XMPP#Non-native_deployments

I suspect existing orgs will want to contribute just as long as it takes to steal users and build a garden, that they can then wall off.

One option would be to pay mods, or [...] reward them in other ways.

Maybe let them use the apps they want to use? Like we had before?

I'm more about increasing spaces exponentially to really highlight how important each line is

public boolean function() {
 if (method()) {
   if (otherMethod()) {
       for (Object o : list()) {
               if (o.isAlive()) {
                               return false;
               }
       }
   }
 }
 return true;
}
