I don’t know if it’s a majority yet, but there’s a significant enough number of progressives to make it a deal. So yeah, there’s some hope there.

Actually, the one’s breaking off are the conservative ones. They’re mad because the main assembly won’t enforce the homophobic rules. They’re joining a splinter denomination that’s more hardline.

For those asking, I used redact.dev to delete my stuff. It’s available on lots of platforms including mobile.

I really just wanted to be done and gone from reddit, to be honest. My reaction when something like this happens isn’t to make a big scene. I just delete my content and vanish into the ether. Only time I actually made a farewell post was Facebook, and that was just to let my friends/family know how to continue to contact me. With Twitter I just nuked my posts and killed the account.

Reddit can probably filter/censor any sort of fediverse spam anyway, so it just seemed like extra steps at this point.

After many years I’ve gone back to Assassin’s Creed games. Got some of the classic ones on sale and whoops…several hours gone again.

On the topic of minesweepers, you’ve probably already seen Hexceed on Steam. That one has gobble up a chunk of my time in the past as well.

Redact

I used Relay for years. I’d love to support the dev, but no way I’m paying Reddit anything directly or indirectly. They won’t get my money, my content, or even my eyeballs if I can help it. They’re extorting the users and the devs with this, and I’m not gonna reward them for bad behavior. Time to move on.

12 years, and my days of contributing to Reddit are over. It’s obvious they’re more interested in money than the communities. It’s best to walk away and move on.

I’ll participate on here for now, and we’ll see how it goes.

Best hunger mechanics are the ones that don’t harm your character when you’re hungry, but you do get a buff for eating.

Valheim’s like that. Don’t want to eat? Fine. Go multiple days without and you’ll still be ok. But if you want your hp to be all it can be, you’ll want to eat up before going out to fight.

Because C-Level people are more about “how can this company make money” and less about “how can this company treat its workers/customers well” (unless the latter leads to the former).

They are told that increasing value for the investors is the thing that matters. If you have to make “tough choices” that abuse the workers or destroy the brand, oh well. It’s worth it if that revenue number keeps going up. To them, it’s an acceptable loss to keep the board happy.

Every company that has VC, investors, or stock is going to be like this at one point or another. It’s just getting more blatant and obvious now. Disney, WB, Netflix, Twitter, Reddit…it’s a list that just keeps growing.

If what they’re saying is true, that might happen anyway. A lot of moderation is done using third party bots that use the API. Without those, it all has to be done manually and no one has time for that. Even then a lot of the manual moderation is done using third party tools (again, impacted by the API change).

Reddit’s about to pull an implosion that’ll make Twitter and Digg look like blips. I got the heck out of there and now I’m just sitting back with my popcorn and tea watching it all burn down.

I’d rather crawl the 20 extra miles to a new community (and did) than use that app again. It’s that bad. The reviews on Google Play are very telling. It’s just a buggy mess.
