I agree completely, Reddit screwed up. Huffman is a petty tool and he’s running a lot of great communities.
My point is that it does hurt people who aren’t Reddit/Huffman. Mods and community members who have created and curated tons of content. It’s hundreds of hours of work to migrate that info, and not everyone will come with you if you do.
It was an easy choice for me because I’m not invested, but for those that have more at stake, moving platforms is a much bigger sacrifice.
The people who stayed aren’t necessarily wrong or bad, they could have good reasons and harder choices than shine of us here who lose very little, or maybe even some who lose a lot.
There is one and I’m subbed, if you search communities for nba it’s easy to find. Unfortunately the r/NBA community was heavily opposed to blackouts, and I’m skeptical we’ll see much migration. It’s a very different culture than the other subs I’m in.
Yea, that’s the hope. I’m subscribed, but a lot of the value is knowing I’m catching the latest news. If news broke in the last 5 minutes then it’s on r/NBA. If I can’t count on that then the value diminishes significantly. Hopefully the community will grow as will the activity.
It’s not just corporate reddit though. Consider the time and effort invested in these communities. Obviously I left because I don’t want to support reddit (and because their non 3rd party interface is almost unusable), but there are mods of small communities that have put thousands of hours into building up these subs.
Ask Historians is a perfect example of a sub that gets punished by modified comments (and they have been highly supportive of protests). They are so heavily moderated that every comment is 100% on topic and each comment lost makes the hard work they put in less worthwhile. Now each person has a right to delete their own content, but it sucks to write a 3 page essay response with citations only to have the context be removed to spite reddit. The mods and contributors of the subs are suffering too, and at a time when maintaining the community is much harder.
Is missing an active NBA community, which is/was at least half of my reddit traffic along with several other subs I frequented, so I that regard it’s a let down.
The interface is already better on jerboa than anything reddit ever made, and I haven’t had a ton of issues, just missing the communities.
I’m always curious about how people label games heavy or middle weight. What makes you put Gaia Project as mid weight and Terraforming Mars (with expansions) as heavy?
Did they migrate yet? I keep not logging in to reddit…
I’m relatively familiar with the global population distribution, but not at all familiar with the pricing differences. It’s the price of RAM drastically different outside the US?
Probably depends on where you are, how much is it for you?
32GB of RAM is less than $50, I just built a new PC, and it was the easiest upgrade I made to my build, regardless of what you put in your tabs
I’ve actually started using Firefox more because Chrome has been causing me problems. Recently downloading more than 3 files from Google takeout at a time broke Chrome. With Firefox I hit 20 simultaneous files with no slowdown. Chrome actually hung until my downloads finished. Made it impossible to work at all while I downloads files. Same issue in incognito. Firefox was great.
I recently built a PC and included 32GB of RAM specifically so I can have a hundred tabs open without any lag, never had a issue with Firefox.
Funny, I immediately assumed it was an insecure guy
