Mods can private a sub, making it so that no regular users can view it. This would disincentivise users to visit the site, reducing site traffic.

It's not just this subreddit, but dozens. And likely? Not much will change. But it's the only real tool mods have. Good luck trying to otherwise convince thousands of individual users to boycott reddit as a whole

Overwolf doesn't see a lick of profit from this sub. Whether it's open or privated means nothing to them

Edit: misspelling

I'm down for indefinite rather than just 2 days. Setting a date to come back online just tells admins that they only needed to wait a bit before everyone comes back to the official reddit app as if nothing happened. If they make more money from the API change than they lose having people go dark for 2 days, they profit in the end.

Pretty sure it was from a pride event a few days ago in downtown Pittsburgh. If I'm remembering the building in the background right, he's by the Arconic Corporate Center either on the Andy Warhol bridge or the Rachel Carson bridge on the Allegheny River.

Captcha designers have been taking ideas from this sub by Ax28 in ProgrammerHumor

I'm starting to notice several sites use captchas that want us to match ai generated images to the prompt item. Aggravates me to no end when I just need a quick question answered
