I often like to browse the “All” view instead of just my subscribed communities. It helps me find new communities, as well as get information from communities I wouldn’t normally be interested in. Unfortunately, the most popular communities are mostly meme communities. That content does well to grab users, get upvotes, and have comments. As a result, almost any way you sort “All” comes back with Memes at the top unless you block the communities.

Tags are useful for filtering out things. So if a post is tagged with “meme”, I don’t need to see it, even when I’m on a view that’s wider than just my subscriptions. Meme is a good example for me, because at this point I’ve had to block several meme focused communities because it’s content I really don’t care to see. I don’t want to suggest that people who enjoy it shouldn’t be able to, but I also am tired of blocking new communities as I run into them.

Unfortunate if true. Although it is also possible an admin’s account was compromised. Would be far less worrying.

It’s interesting to see how modern technology is built. I’m guessing FrameWork’s factory is pretty immature compared to bigger companies like Dell, but even still they had a pretty nice setup. There’s a good chance I might get their AMD laptop once it starts shipping. The price isn’t actually bad at all. For a business laptop it seems right in line.

I think you should leave.

I’m not saying Reddit knows about emol.ink, I’ve certainly never heard of it. But if Reddit admins realize that it is a URL shortener, they will throw it on the blocked domains list too.

An interesting idea. The bonus being that if spam starts showing up in your RSS feed, you know who sold your address.

Heck, my ISP, which is a huge elite ISP, has a simple number too. You know why? There is competition in this market. I pay $80 a month for 1000/1000 fiber. That includes free HBO Max. Not as good as Sonic, but it’s a simple number.

URL shorteners are generally blocked and for good reason. They obscure the target, which in this case is intentional, but pretty much the only value on a site like this or reddit is to obscure.

Microsoft might improve Blizzard and the rest of Activision, but it will be a net loss for the industry. Microsoft has too much power in the market already, and that will only grow over time as they use their power from other segments to take over more. I see it in the business world already. They basically took over the entire market for business email, then pretty much dropped their self hosting options, leaving most business with only the option of M365. Which is great, until they decided to change partner terms on a dime and increase prices and there wasn’t a damn thing we could do to stop it. Our options are either leave for Google(who’s business tools absolutely suck), or look to FOSS, which has a rather high maintenance cost. Microsoft has that industry captured, and it is almost impossible to break out of.

On Jerboa on Android you can tap the blank space or text of a comment to collapse it and its children as well.

About 4 people at work Monday discovered the blackouts and learned the reason from following Google results. I’d say that shows the effectiveness of the protest. That’s 4 individuals that I work with personally who wouldn’t have known otherwise about the api problem that now do. I can only imagine how many people are in that same boat.

Superbrothers: Sword & Sworcery EP is the easy answer for me. It hit me at just the right time, in just the right way. It was masterfully crafted. The sound track was, at the time, perhaps the best pairing of a video game and sound track ever made.
