    I stayed up til 6:00am going through random communities so I’m tired as hell. But I can confirm that this fulfils my procrastination streak just as much as Reddit did. I like the idea of a daily “so what you up to?”. Could be interesting to see how mundane all our lives are.


  • Absolutely. It’s only a matter of time before someone sees the value in the information/data that is here and begin indexing the entire fediverse/site and working on SEO for it.

    There are countless examples of indexers for GitHub for example, if you do any searching for questions related to coding. Pretty much every issue and repo has been indexed.

    When reddit first popped up, posts from it came up in search results very rarely, now it’s pretty much at the top of many searches, since it’s a bastion of knowledge and community groups.

    It’s really only a matter of time if things do go well here.


  • The Verge posted the actual memo that was released, you can find that below and the article here

    Hi Snoos,

    Starting last night, about a thousand subreddits have gone private. We do anticipate many of them will come back by Wednesday, as many have said as much. While we knew this was coming, it is a challenge nevertheless and we have our work cut out for us. A number of Snoos have been working around the clock, adapting to infrastructure strains, engaging with communities, and responding to the myriad of issues related to this blackout. Thank you, team.

    We have not seen any significant revenue impact so far and we will continue to monitor.

    There’s a lot of noise with this one. Among the noisiest we’ve seen. Please know that our teams are on it, and like all blowups on Reddit, this one will pass as well. The most important things we can do right now are stay focused, adapt to challenges, and keep moving forward. We absolutely must ship what we said we would. The only long term solution is improving our product, and in the short term we have a few upcoming critical mod tool launches we need to nail.

    While the two biggest third-party apps, Apollo and RIF, along with a couple others, have said they plan to shut down at the end of the month, we are still in conversation with some of the others. And as I mentioned in my post last week, we will exempt accessibility-focused apps and so far have agreements with RedReader and Dystopia.

    I am sorry to say this, but please be mindful of wearing Reddit gear in public. Some folks are really upset, and we don’t want you to be the object of their frustrations.

    Again, we’ll get through it. Thank you to all of you for helping us do so.

    To me, this looks like it was absolutely destined for a public release/intended leak. The victimisation says it all with them crying that their employees are going to get attacked. This is a simply absurd statement.

    Any indicated statement from a CEO of a community forum that insinuates that their users, who are currently undergoing a completely peaceful protest, are in fact, volatile enough to attack employees simply doing their job has completely lost the plot. Their position as CEO is completely untenable.

    Thanks Reddit for throwing extra wood on the fire. I was getting concerned that it wasn’t raging enough.




  • What kept me at reddit was the content, not the company. If the content moves here, then this is where I’ll stay. If most content remains at Reddit, which would be unfortunate. Then I’d probably try to juggle both, depending on how my time goes here.

    So far, it’s been rather positive. I’ve got most of my daily dose of community conversation, but I’m missing that video streak at the moment.



  • It’s really good to see that they’ve listened to what the community have said they wanted and implemented them very well. The trailer is practically a montage of every major mod that we’ve seen in Cities Skylines since launch.

    It’s going to be interesting to see what the modding community adds on top of that. Very much looking forward to creating my horrible cities with this.



  • Video Game Chronicles appeared to talk to the games creative director Pawel Sasko, who said this.

    The developer says it’s still discussing the exact details of when and how base game owners will receive the new systems, but that its intention is to deploy them for free. So as well as adding a sizable chunk of new story to Night City, Phantom Liberty looks like it could finally do good on many of the promises the base game failed to live up to for many, before the game’s leaders move Stateside to establish the sequel dev team.

    So really, who fucking knows. Apparently the entire game is being massively overhauled to the point of where it’s practically a new game, the fact it took three years to get to this point shows truly how underbaked the initial release was.

    No Man’s Sky is a bit different since it was a tiny studio that was promising the mood. Sony also threw the studio director straight into the limelight even though he had effectively zero public relations experience. Then again, he doesn’t really seemed to have learnt his lesson, as he has big promises for his next game, maybe it’ll be a surprise, who knows. Cyberpunk 2077 on the other hand has no such excuse, they had a very well capable and trained marketing and PR team.


  • CDPR was probably everyone’s go to of a AAA dev that hadn’t yet been corrupted by money. Unfortunately with Cyberpunk 2077 we found out the hard way that yes, they had indeed been corrupted by said money. They single-handily managed to annihilate any sort of reputation they had gained over the many years of their studio, then managed to squander all of that in less than a few days. As the saying goes, slow to rise, quick to fall.
