Reminded me of a guy whose comment got rewarded so much that he said he would have premium until the 2030s.

I use the official TDF app for live coverage during work. It’s actually quite comprehensive and full of detailed stats and info etc. For the actual video recordings of the event I’ll watch Lanterne Rouge and the official TDF YT channel channel for highlights, after work.

I think it really depends on how real the 1% rule of the internet is.

TBH I believe that 90% of mobile users uses the official app. Maybe they don’t know about 3PA, or simply just don’t bother. 3PA might be “for power users/advanced users” to them. All they want from Reddit is just the laugh (and porn probably) when doom scrolling. Not to mention because there is an official app, it’ll be the first result when searching “Reddit” on the app/play store. Most of the time people will just go for the first/official one. This whole API/protest thing will just be another Reddit drama for them and they just don’t care.

However, I believe that this whole thing affects those 1% users the most. For mobile users (of the 1%), I believe most of them are using 3PA. As the official is just too bad. For everyone else (of the 1%), if they care (even just a little bit) about Reddit, they will be greatly disappointed with how Reddit handles the whole situation. They will either have left already, or will be leaving soon. Which then the question will be, to where?

Obviously, users tends to go to wherever places that has the most interesting content to them. If enough 1% users left Reddit, migrated to Kbin/Lemmy, and continued to create content over here, I think those 99% users will eventually migrate as well - especially:

1. The content are created by the same 1% users, so the content will be similar to what they consumed back when they were on Reddit.

2. Reddit is full of repost bots, which hopefully should be more obvious when no new contents are being created anymore.

There’s also another possible but quite pessimistic possibility:
Some of those 99% users became the new 1% users, and began creating content with the redesigned UI/official app.
*Puts on tinfoil hat* Which is what Reddit wants - to kick out the “old”, power/advanced users (users who can and will protest/rebel, in essence), making Reddit into another generic social media platform. With everything under the complete control of Reddit, not its users.

Indeed it was more difficult than S3 but kinda fits the story line I think? Unlike S3, you really have to keep your distance from the mobs. I died many times right after I got "entangled" by the rockpox (where you have to AD to unstuck) during my first mission on S4.

Jet boots + low gravity = endless fun. If you keep tapping space you can maintain your momentum.

Hongkonger here. We usually bought Thailand jasmine rice, and cook it with rice cooker.

I’ve tried both cheaper and expensive rice brands and the difference in both taste and smell is really significant, even though they are both jasmine rice.

As for cooking it, you really can’t go wrong with a rice cooker

1/2 to 3/4 cup of rice per person. Rinse the rice with cold water 1-3 times. Both the bowl and the cup have those scales on it, so that gets the water-rice ratio covered (E.g. fill the water up to the “—— 2” if you put 2 cups of rice). That line gives you the standard fluffiness, so adjust slightly to your preference. Plug in the cord, flip the switch, let the rice cooker do its job and work on other stuff.

When the switch pops, the rice is cooked. Pull the cord, open the lid and gently mix/stir the rice a little bit with the spoon that came along the cooker. Doing so prevents the rice from sticking to the bowl (that’s what I’ve been told and it seems to works), and to “add some air in between the rice” as it taste better this way. Where I’m from, people usually prefers the feel of discrete/individual grains of rice, instead of a “blob”/”goop” of rice.

That NSFW post on r/interestingasfuck has reached r/all lmfao

Some subs like r/fuckcars will be doing “touch grass Tuesday”, where the sub will be restricted every Tuesday.

I think r/HarryPotter is still polling the same idea. Which gets me wonder what if most of the popular subs decided to do this.

Of course there’s no viable alternatives to Reddit. Why would someone create another dumpster fire?

Apollo. So no more reddit for me when the app shuts down officially.

I wish Christian would made an Apollo-like app for the Fediverse.

Maybe we gave the site the very first Fediverse hug of death

This gets me thinking that this might be what reddit looked like back in the very beginning - lots of actual users interacting, making contents, etc.
