Be wary of spiteful Reddit users (kbin.social)
In the past week and a half, I've noticed Reddit behaviors starting to try and poison all of the places that people are taking refuge in to get away from the toxicity, myself included.

Reddit removes my post about how Reddit doesn't accept my GDPR request (lemm.ee)

On Coining a New Term (kbin.social)
Edit: alright I'm sticking this up here because a number of people seem confused--this post isn't trying to convince you that "fediverse" is a bad term--rather it's a discussion of why I think "threadiverse" is a good umbrella term, for the forum-based part of the fediverse specifically.

Reddit is bringing back r/Place at perhaps the worst possible time (www.theverge.com)

Anybody remember Usenet? (kbin.social)
