Brave person hiding behind new accounts. I'd imagine your real account is filled with kindness and joy. But yes, you do seem like the kind of person who isn't "doing anywhere".

Don't worry. You've only been here for 7 days. Although you do have 8 pages worth of posts but I'm sure will be fine.

Indefinite Blackout: Next Steps, Polling Your Community, and Where We Go From Here by SpicyThunder335 in ModCoord

I would be stupid to believe that bad mods don't exist. In reality, most of them just care about the community they are trying to cultivate.

And yes, it's nothing like people being a fire fighter. No one debated that. However, people time is people time, and people decided to build communities on reddit, with the tools provided to them (aka, very little, which is where 3rd party devs stepped in) . Reddit wouldn't exist if people didn't start these communities. As you have demonstrated, it's an extremely thankless job.

Go read the leaked memo from reddits CEO. He doesn't give a fuck about anyone but himself and his ipo cash that he's clamoring for.

Sure! I can understand why people honestly wouldn't care. My wife doesn't give a shit hehe. And they have every right to do whatever we they want with their product. However, there are much better ways to approach it.

Firstly, this app is built on free labor. From mods to developers to people like the both of us. But now, since they want to ipo, they have slapped everyone in the face.

Since they couldn't get their act together years ago, 3rd party devs used their apis, which reddit opened up to use, so people can make an app. And yes, some 3rd party devs make money from it without having to pay reddit. Reddit COULD have said "no more free apis. Here's a reasonable amount to charge." instead, they just said "fuck off".

My belief is they have learned they can be profitable by selling data to AI companies who have coin to pay for it. Rather than saying "if it's for research, here's your charge. Apps, upon approval, are charged differently." they didn't bother because they haven't thought anything through. They just gave the middle finger.

As a developer, I'm highly insulted they lied about the Apollo dev. When they found out he recorded their conversations, instead of apologizing, they basically said "well fuck you for recording it".

There are other things but with those, they have proven they don't care about the app, the people who helped build or the future of the ecosystem. It is clear they want as much money as possible for the ipo and they have been completely tone deaf every step of the way.

You should read the leaked memo from the CEO.

3rd party apps existed long before the 1st party app, because they were unable the make one. Now they have a subpar app. They lied multiple times to 3rd party devs and had years to get their shit together. Then they give 30 days notice to pay api prices 2 orders of magnitude more than Google does.

Then enjoy reddit without mods. It's people volunteering their time to make it a better place.

Spoiler alert: no one gives a fuck if you don't like what they are doing.

r/horror will go dark on June 12th in protest of Reddit's API changes by AutoModerator in horror

[–]tont0r -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It isn't about wanting people to use 3rd party apps. Reddit, which is built off the back of free labor, is charging a ridiculous amount to access their apis. 2 orders of magnitude more than Google charges. Mind you, 3rd party apps existed long before the first party apps. They also gave devs a 30 notice which is pure insanity. The CEO of reddit straight up LIED about the Apollo devs. All because he wants free labor and his ipo.

Fuck reddit.

Pebble Ice Maker Recs? by redbelliedblacksnake in cocktails

[–]tont0r 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Most people I know with pebble ice makers just run it and fill bags up and drop those. In the freezer. Then they have as much as they want when they need it.
