Good point. I wonder if there was a way to like auto-transcribe these voice/video comments and automatically embed them in the source code so you have like a written-out comment that people could read.
This guy embeds TicTok URLs in source comments followed by long strings of emoji

Steve looks forward to the hell of interfacing with shareholders, which makes me giddy. Reddit is now a money machine and no longer a community. The enshitification is well underway.

And the Lord added, “Your cart ride to the infirmary shall be charged at 100 times the cost of service,” and it was so.
I just assumed it would be terrible because it’s a hard problem to solve generally, but like 98% of the time I don’t even realize it’s on (and it’s really easy to turn off). It’s seriously incredible.
People don’t understand that the average programmer’s EQ is in the top decile because they’re forced to work through the stages of grief several thousand times a year
Yeah, or batching changes and confirming receipt with a hash. From what I’ve been reading, the design seems a little janky.
Scalability does mean favoring monoliths because it costs money to scale and scaling here isn’t proportional to your instance’s users, it’s proportional to the size of the entire network.
60k users is today, not tomorrow. I’m thinking forward to 6000k users.
When the protocol favors monoliths, we’re right back to the Reddit problem
Interesting. Curious if you have a better understanding of ActivePub - do you happen to know if the protocol guarantees synchonicity and what mechanism guarantees it?
The implementation as far as I understand it is plain stupid. It prevents small instances from participating at any significant scale and seems happy to just drop data over the wire without reconciling. Seriously amateurish.
Dark Reader is amazing. Not just a great idea, but incredible execution.
On top of the presumption that any of them would even want to wear Reddit SWAG right now
this too shall pass
I believe there’s going to be a moderator exodus. The flippancy with which Steve has handled this, and how he responded here, is going to stick in the craws of their enormous unpaid workforce. These are the people who have been there a decade plus, have seen the ebbs and flows, and are probably no longer willing to be unpaid servants to their clearly demonstrated monetary interests (at the expense of its users [product]). This was a turning point. They have way bigger problems to address than a 48 hour boycott.
This would look really bad for the credibility of the platform
From what I’ve been following, they haven’t been too concerned about this since at least a few weeks ago
Doing some reading + confirming with an instance owner, this is how it’s working now. You can click on the “Instances” link at the very bottom of the page to see who else your instance is connected to. An instance mirrors all content for all other instances its connected to.
So they’re not paying severance to employees they fire?
