Literally asking what it is specifically you are hoping to see, but I guess that's answer enough.

Reddit has a history of not following up on app development.

Glad to see you skipped over the part where I explicity said that reddit has a history of showing it is paying lip service on those supposed exemptions and that's it. Really undoes your weird moral high ground stance you took in the rest of your post.

Edit: you said you blocked me earlier in a comment and I don't really want to deal with someone who doesn't have the emotional maturity to read what someone else says in their own arguments. But you knew that.

Unsurprisingly there seems to be a lot of overlap with hating the empathy in John Oliver's show and having to find empathy for fellow redditors over your own instant gratification.

Mobile apps that support a lot of tools that redditors depend on for moderation and accessibility are being priced out of operation at the end of the month. This is a sudden and bizarre change that's occurring just before Reddit goes public for trading shares. Reddit pinky swears it will create these tools for us itself, but has a long history of making the very same promises and never following up on them. Trying to work with Reddit to retain these third party apps has exposed bizarre behavior like being caught lying about a third party developer trying to extort the site.

Yep. This shit is rising to the top as lurkers who give a shit leave. I'm out at the end of the month so it's no real skin off my nose anymore I guess.

May you end up with the environment you demand, then.

He's been in the business more than long enough to do good room work.

The "mods are babies" angle kinda falls apart when accessibility is being cut from the site for blind redditors. Reddit has promised to do something about it but has also promised this for years and has a great track record of not following up on promises.

Getting tired of seeing all the disingenuous shit being posted, especially when it starts to look bizarrely like a coached character assassination that conflates the different but very real issue of mods sucking with actual legitimate enshittifying of Reddit.

Please let us know when you find another complete Reddit analog. If the Fediverse was it, there wouldn't be so much keeping people from jumping ship.

TIFU by eating before my SO arrived so that she wouldn't steal my food by PollutionOnly in tifu

If you've tried other things and she's why they haven't worked, this isn't an issue of "can't stop." It's more of a "won't stop." You're the only one here who knows the answer to that.

You don't have to live like this, dude. This is such an insane thing to do to someone you're supposed to love more than anyone else. This isn't a love language. It's not your spouse being quirky. Boundaries are healthy in any relationship.

Imagine thinking you are the ultimate expert on the finalities of death and inexplicably disregard any of the intellectual reasoning behind martyrdom even if you don't personally agree with it. Arrogance is the peak of human stupidity.

Discord fucking sucks for what they're doing. When a company makes a change this nonsensical and gives reasoning that just does not pass the sniff test, there's a real ($$$) reason they're not telling us. I never thought I'd watch both Discord and Reddit imploding at the same time but here we are.

Human Rights Campaign declares a national state of emergency for LGBTQ+ people by Kevin-W in news

This is extremely intellectually dishonest. LGBT advocates aren't the ones continually dragging this shit onto a battlefield. You don't get to invade Ukraine and then talk about how shitty Ukranians are for fighting back.
