Give it a try and let us know.

I think the solution is the same.

Truly. Most web search engines, including google, are mostly useless these days if you don’t already have a good idea where to look or it is a very common search.

You use to be able to click down a bunch of pages till what you were looking for turns up. But now after you go down a few pages it just starts repeating and it is all mostly big tech sites.

lol… irony…

but its open source… there isn’t much they can do other than beat their hands on their chest and make noise. … which will not work.

Reddit wants to destroy the mods? Then reddit should see what a world without mods on the internet actually looks like… Especially before the IPO

To be fair… reddit was originally designed to be self-moderated by the users… and it use to work really well. It would be a miracle if they moved back to that model and I would no doubt switch back to them from lemmy if they did. Those were the hey days of reddit and the internet as a whole.

They’ve been running away from their culture of free speech since 2008. The only direction they have ever moved has been in the opposite direction.

I expect most of the “popular” subs (like the one you mentioned) aren’t ones I have ever been aware of or cared to be aware of.

Its not the loss of moderators, its the loss of content. If reddit hadn’t changed their original self moderation model this couldn’t happen. Or at least, not like this.

Moderators are not responsible for making content, they just moderate a sub where others create content. Originally users moderated content on their own.

Pretty funny how reddit’s move to authoritarianism has worked against them this time.

There have been a few stories about some companies getting punished for not going along with this plan of selling this private information. Like I think Qwest for example. This was over a decade ago, so I don’t remember all the details that clearly.

Reddit back before mods and subs and everything was self-moderated was certainly peak reddit. You’re nuts if you think that will ever happen again.

I think most of them I’d be using on windows as well. Like blender, gimp, krita, librewolf, libreoffice, thunderbird, virtualbox, etc… etc… etc… Although it was 15 years ago I had switched to mostly open source applications in the years prior to eventually switching to linux entirely.

Gimp is a quality program… but I agree that it is hard to relearn when you’ve gotten use to photoshop for almost 3 decades.

Although Krita is a high quality illustration program. I try harder to motivate my self to learn that.

There is also abiword for a relatively lighter weight word processor that handles doc files. Although I also lean to using a text editor most of the time. Right now my favorite is kate.

If we’re including those then I think we have gone full circle and are back in the safe waters of protocols

It doesn’t look that unique.

Then I will definitely go. Their new version is as bad as what digg is now. I could never use that.
