nefarious

First sentence of the article:

Reddit is bringing back r/Place — a collaborative project where individual users can edit pixels on a giant canvas

TIL! Thanks for the clarification.

I think that might be the codecs’ fault. At least for me, my headphones sound terrible in headset mode on all the devices I’ve tried, regardless of whether they’re running Linux, MacOS, iOS, or Android.

Statcounter bases their data on web traffic. If you’re browsing the web on your Steam Deck, I think that should count.

Could’ve been UPS using USPS for last-mile delivery. The OP is also from feddit.de so maybe they’re not in the US.

The framing of “Go back to normal” or “Only sexy pictures of John Oliver” was clever. Lots of people are going to pick the funny option over the boring one in basically any low stakes poll, so even people who don’t care much about the protest probably still voted for it.

There’s also a lot more motivation for the people who are pissed about Reddit’s changes vs. the people who just want their infinite feed of content back to its former state.

I bet similar scenarios play out with spez’s whole “moderator democracy” idea.

This is exactly the kind of tactic that’s needed now. If Reddit wants to end the blackout by force, then what else is there to do but make them regret it?
