Perhaps I misunderstood. I thought X angle was to get the larger corpo users to buy in such as Nintendo share function, news orgs that would aggregate tweets, universities that used it for research and such. But I agree regarding reddit, definitely wanted to drive users to their engagement ads.

I agree with everything here, and encourage pre-2023 owners to continue applying the “Elon killed my resale value” bumper stickers to their cars.

Beesly doesn’t deserve this

For a private voice group, could you use something like mumble? It’s still out there, doing voice well.

No fucking shit. Said this the moment he announced it - the facility was not designed to hold this population, and flying people offshore is crazy expensive. Ignorant plan like all the others, falls apart when grandiose delusion meets reality.

Reddit (and by extension, Lemmy) likely wouldn’t exist without Kevin Rose. He both popularized the concept of user driven link aggregators and royally screwed digg during a big redesign, pushing the users to reddit.

Alexis Ohanian is generally considered a “better” cofounder of reddit (or atleast, not spez). I think the two combining forces to relaunch an OG site is newsworthy.

If it’s a positive, will remain to be seen. I won’t go back to a closed/non-federated platform, personally.

Gonna disagree, we needed more Heroes, but from a writing team with a vision and purpose. Or at least one that understood the character driven nature of the first season was it’s selling point, not just the half baked superhero action. The '07 writers strike really screwed that show.
