i’m not excited for the cocaine animals cinematic universe

No money, no honey.

grumbul , in One of Reddit's largest communities is protesting changes to the platform by posting only photos of John Oliver 'looking sexy'

Awesome to see this getting some media coverage. I hope the writers strike ends in time for Oliver to be able to do a segment on his show about all this.

One thing I wish these news sites would cover is that it’s not only the API changes that people are upset about.

This was just the straw that broke the camels back. It’s been a long time coming.

My personal gripes were:

  1. Corporate astroturfing (this is the #1 reason I left, the entire front-page just felt like r/hailcorporate but nobody is aware)
  2. Reddit official app served ads in the damn comment section
  3. Bots of many varieties. Karma farming bots. Politically motivated bots (especially on r/Canada)
  4. Mod abuse (r/antiwork for instance)
  5. Censorship (r/fencesitter for instance)
  6. The stupid NFTs being pushed

Also, the API situation will make it harder to moderate subs without the tools that were previously available

I’m out of the loop and never tweeted (except for a bot I made once to highlight an Australian politician’s lies). What is a block feature?

If you block spam SMSes or assholes and spambots on chat services, it’s basically that. No matter how much the other person tries, they can no longer get through to you on that service. In most cases, it’s as if they no longer exist.

Honestly kind of surprised he didn’t make bypassing blocks a paid feature.

good grief. further proof that social media platforms controlled by one corporate entity are dangerous.

At this point there’s no way Elon isn’t doing this self-destruction purposely. There’s just no other logic I can think of beyond that.
