Nein.

“upgedated” und “downgeloaded” sind ganz normale Partikelverben. Die Tatsache, dass man aus neuen Komponenten solche Partikelverben bauen kann ist eine zentrale Eigenschaft der deutschen Sprache und eine ihrer größten Stärken.

Dass die beiden Komponenten nun ursprünglich Englisch sind, ist eine Besonderheit, aber bei genauer Betrachtung auch nichts sooo ungewöhnliches. Wir haben sehr viele Lehnwörter aus dem Französischen, die keinen mehr jucken weil der Import eben 200 Jahre her ist.

This is the next stage of protest. Running subreddits into the ground my malicious compliance.

There is another important thing that has to be done to complement this: Everybody should publicly push the idea that anybody willing to invest in Reddit is an absolute idiot. That everyone involved with the IPO (except reddit themselves) are rubes being scammed by reddit.

Pointing out that the value proposition of reddit has gone to shit by highlighting that they trashed some of their largest communities will help making that case.

Well, it’s not quite fantasy, but the Laundry Files novels by Charles Stross merge the concept of “math/algorithms is magic” with lovecraftian horror and satire.

Das ist so absurd

Nee, das ist Hessen. So läuft das hier bei uns.

That’s… actually worse than a lot of what we’ve been protesting this week.

So Reddit is putting a disadvantage/brake on criticism regarding the scam of the century?

They are leaning on the scales in order to make the future a shittier place!

Very disappointing. Even from a status quo, where you’re already disappointed.

Since they are looking for revenue, selling/renting out is quite likely.

I guess everything connected with Disney will be next.

Though I wonder if reddit is still in the grey zone where they can’t really enter a relationship with big media conglomerates because their reputation precedes them.

I mean, big mouse will probably not become involved with a company that hosts a lot of pornography.

There is a torrent out there because some company did that up to March 2023. I forgot the name, but it should be findable.

But be warned, the whole thing is 2TB.

First up, thanks for your hard work!

Nevertheless, we are still running on a budget VPS.

As things are currently developing, it is almost a certainty that all reddit alternatives on the fediverse will get absolutely hammered on the 12th.

I know you are working on an infrastructure update. I just sent you a few bucks via buymeacoffee to support that. However, it could well be possible that the new infrastructure will also become overwhelmed during the days following the 12th, requiring another update in short notice.

At some point, things might become really expensive.

What I’m trying to say is: Don’t be hesitant to ask for donations. I think many of the users here right now are acutely aware of how important the next few days are going to be for the post-reddit fediverse ecosystem. Growth needs servers, servers need money and I’m sure many users would be willing to to chip in.

If the official name is magazines, then why not use “mags”?
