Reddit has done this before when it really wants to, there is past precedent, but usually it’s been along with the communities wishes.

From what I saw the lower mod probably contacted the admins to make this happen by claiming that the inactive head mod went against the wishes of the community.

It’s happened before to other subs like /r/wow but back then it was a positive move to circumvent a man child making the sub private over an expansion release that didn’t go so well because he couldn’t log in and play the game. A lesser mod was made head and the original head striped of his position and all was made right again.

In this case it appears that the community overwhelmingly supported the blackout and move to go private instead. The mod that took over was the only loud voice against the blackout.

Biggie knew. Treat everything like it’s your first day because nothing is guaranteed.

It a grand scale RTS game with robots and insects loosely inspired by Total Annihilation.

If you try out an IDE don’t feel obligated to have to use every feature of it just to justify using it. Just use it much like your text editor to start with and learn the extra features you go.

It is perplexing that if Reddits goal was to make money from AI that it didn’t also reach out to the popular third party apps and come up with a deal to keep them operational instead of the current situation.

Talking about hardware is such a nightmare on Reddit these days that I completely avoid it. There’s a never ending crowd of people/astroterfers/fanbois posting confidently about shit they have no clue about and are often completely wrong. Their arguments usually boil down to their feels and not objective facts at all.

Apart from the couple of occasional subject matter experts that you see pop up occasionally the tech subs are a write-off now.

I think that a forced paid subscription will probably kill it anyway long term, who in their right mind would pay a subscription to access Reddit?

Also don’t forget that thes app owners themselves are running a business and probably make a bunch of money from their apps that they don’t want to see evaporate with the changes.

Edit: the Android app for Lemmy is having problems at the moment and comments are being weird.

Oh man they’re probably all having wet dreams over being “the hero that saves America” or something right now.

The best that I could find was that there was an 8 person limit and that it wasn’t as straightforward as Discord at all.

It’s still nice to see them trying and hopefully one day it’ll be a viable alternative to Discord itself.

I see that it has 8 person voip… but does it have an actual voice chat like Discord?

Performance and visuals are fine for me. Running on a 3080 fine.

This isn’t the full list of changes for A21. There’s a ton of new POIs, mechanics overhauls and more.

Yep, it’s always a good time to jump into the game tbh because they refresh the game every so often.

I think it’s important not to become overly attached to an identity on any social media platform, which is kinda the concept they’re going for here. Your post history doesn’t really matter in the big scheme of things for the most part and will still be there anyway unless that server shuts down (even then there’s ways around that if you’re really concerned).

Personally, I was already in the habit of creating a new Reddit account about once a year so that any previous baggage, things I’d revealed about myself and so forth didn’t follow me for too long. Once I got over that big karma number go up dopamine hit I stopped caring at all for my previous identities. I say this as someone who has accounts on Reddit dating back to almost the very beginning.

You’re using it right now without contributing to their cause.

Lemmy is an AGPL software. Forking would just put a ton more burden on yourself with no real benefit.

I’d only bother forking if the original devs stopped supporting it and/or there were features you wanted but they refused to implement. What those dev’s political believes are matter very little at the end of the day and it’s ok for people to have different opinions.

Does it have voice chat built in and is it as easy to use and accessible as Discord?

Last time I looked this was not the case. No point lecturing people until Matrix or a viable alternative catches up at least.
