I remember reading an article saying the creativity that comes only after you experience profound boredom is what we’ve lost. We have so many options so easily available, the next dopamine hit is only ever minutes away a lot of people never need to make it past superficial boredom

It seems like a non major issue. It’s better to start the communities you want to have, rather than wait on someone else who might be marginally better located.

I heard their message boards were getting lots of death threat level nasty messages, the mods said it was too much to deal with case by case.

That RIF is fun had a revenue sharing agreement explains why they were able to keep Reddit in front the apps name when other 3rd party apps couldn’t. Corporate Reddit sounds like a nightmare to work with.

One of the mods posted here that they were forcibly removed by admin

It does read like their expectations were way too high. But they are right that this isn’t casual user friendly yet. I do hope we get there, I’d like this place to stay active.

Probably because he has back end control to make sure elections give him what he wants with the veneer of popular support.

It’s not like they don’t know it’s not paid, if it’s a fun hobby people choose to support the communities they love they’d spend the time anyway. But with every move to make Reddit more corporate it makes the sites reliance on volunteers more exploitative.

I notice he says about a thousand when the article cites closer to 8,000 subs going dark. This is probably the closest they’ll get to admitting the protest did anything at all to Reddit.

I have a pitcher with a filter basket made for cold brew coffee. Only tips I’ve got are make sure the beans are big enough not to fit through the filter. Otherwise it’s just add coffee, fill with water, wait about 20 hours. Cold brew sounds more intimidating than it actually is.

I love my cold brew pitcher. I need my coffee grinder since it needs a much coarser grind for the cold brew method. But it comes out so smooth. My second favorite is a pour over drip brew.

I am not sad. It started to feel a bit like a bad addiction. The huge increase in casual users also brought a whole bunch of corporate accounts running heavy PR activity on reddit, and quality of discussion has tanked, probably from a lot of bots commenting.

I stayed on Reddit a lot for support forums that were prone to brigading attacks. I know how hard the mods were working to keep the spaces constructive. Reddit is not only trying to sell my attention as a commodity they own, but also under appreciating the mods volunteer hours for why the site was worth it.
