Kind of a wash - I've always been a RiF devotee. I might have rejected Sync if it wasn't compact enough, or I didn't realize it could be set that way - I've always placed a premium on cramming the most info onto a screen as I can. Which is why I was drawn to /. and then reddit, and can't stand FB etc.

I keep running Power Delete Suite and the comments keep getting restored. Pretty shifty of them.

UPS employees overwhelmingly agreed to go on strike if their demands aren't met by July 31st. These Amazon drivers are on strike now - all 84 of them, at one facility, obviously. They're like the Boston Tea Party.

By contrast, there are 340k Teamsters working for UPS. Their forming picket lines will grind things to a halt in really short order. Good on those Amazon drivers! Hope others join in solidarity.

I'm waiting for better control over filtering to be able to see what I want - the duplicate communities are a good example, being able to select all technology instances would be handy. Although will people in each one be posting the same material...perhaps we could have all the comments viewed at once while we're at it. But that makes you consider what's the point of having all these instances in the first place.

Make sure the press hears about this. We're still ranting about spez editing comments years after the fact; not only disobeying a user's wishes, but violating the law?. That's a whole other kettle of fish.

u/Taytay_Is_God says they've done just that, they were the sole mod of r/tumblr and have been relieved of duties.

Do it at night, show some mercy.

Looking at the tracker comments seem to reaching parity with posts again, as they were pre-blackout. For the two days of the protest 67% of subs were private, yet posts hardly deviated from the norm - and comments only slightly below. Is the implication that people in subs that didn't join in like r/news etc just posted/commented that much more in a show of support ha ha ha, or is this a de facto admission that much of the site's traffic is just bots? Are investors down with that? I haven't seen this actually hashed out in discussions much.

There's another sub with GPT in the title, r/subGPT or something. The subreddit simulator always amused me, it was blatantly artificial - the content on this new one made me queasy, it was precisely the kind of one note jibber jabber we'd skim past constantly.

They never shut down, along with a few other biggies. TiL just reopened.

An argument is a connected series of statements intended to establish a proposition.

Power Deleted mine yesterday. The idea of them making $$$ for AI training is creepy.
