Jesus. Weigh the pro's and con's of course.

I was thinking more, start that business, or start that college course. Don't fucking jump off the Eiffel Tower in and bundle of blankets.

Does that really need to be said?

Trying.

I know it sounds cliché and... Well... Wanky, but it's true.

Trying and failing will always feel better than just giving up.

Like someone? Say something. They could humilate you and literally kick you in the balls and in 5 years i guarantee you'll regret it less than if you say nothing. (This is not an excuse to be creepy. If they say NO, then hear the NO. Shit happens. Move on.)

Have an idea for something cool? Try to make it reality. The sad truth is, honestly it's probably going to fail, but at least you will be able to say you tried.

And that 1 fucking time I'm wrong... My god, that 1 time. That's where the best that life has to offer exists. But first...

You have to try...

So ask yourself, really. What's the worst that could happen? ... Aaaand now ask yourself... What's the best that could happen?

Olive oil is actually delicious. Can't speak to using it for non-poopy reasons, but throw some in a bowl, add a splash of balsamic vinegar, sprinkle in some chunky rock salt, and dip the bougiest bread you can find in that shit! Delicious!

I'm far from any kind of authority on this, but I think you'll find the similarities in language (like ma mama mom mum mother mummy) come from the fact that very many languages today stem from the same root languages.

What I find far more interesting is where they diverge.

... In English?

Pineapple...

Wtf!

Edit: I've just remembered reading that "mama" and "papa" come from the sounds that babies make naturally...

I'm seeing clumps from the same community/magazine all grouped together when sorted by "active"

My best guess is that the data is transferred across instances in chunks and I'm seeing the content in those chunks! It's far from a deal breaker but there's definitely room for improvement!

 
 

 

Personally I'm waiting for the 30th. I have a dream of crashing their servers with account deletion requests

The thing that I've seen pretty consistently from both RIF and Apollo devs is that they're not disputing the fact that reddit needs to start making a profit. Nobody's (seriously) complaining about what was free becoming not free.

The fact is, if this was purely about money, they'd be willing to negotiate on price. The price they're asking is ~70x more than imgur, which hosts images WAAAAAY heavier to host than text, and links etc.

If it was solely about showing ads, they could have given 3PAs access to reddit ads via the api, and enforced showing them.

There are several ways this could have worked for everyone.

Reddit wanted to kill 3PAs. That's the only logical conclusion here. Hell, if they'd come out and said THAT, as well as fixing the problems with their own app first, I might even have been able see their side of it. I would still be pissed, but it'd be more understandable than this very blatant Twitter-esque death-by-pricing thing they're trying to do.

 

Hello!

I'm part of the great reddit migration and I'm still trying to figure things out.

Something I've not seen much discussion about is how does moderation work in the fediverse?

Is it up to instance owners, or do communities have a moderation team like reddit?

How does that work across instances?
