Reddit has done this before when it really wants to, there is past precedent, but usually it's been along with the communities wishes.

From what I saw the lower mod probably contacted the admins to make this happen by claiming that the inactive head mod went against the wishes of the community.

It's happened before to other subs like /r/wow but back then it was a positive move to circumvent a man child making the sub private over an expansion release that didn't go so well because he couldn't log in and play the game. A lesser mod was made head and the original head striped of his position and all was made right again.

In this case it appears that the community overwhelmingly supported the blackout and move to go private instead. The mod that took over was the only loud voice against the blackout.

Biggie knew. Treat everything like it’s your first day because nothing is guaranteed.

It a grand scale RTS game with robots and insects loosely inspired by Total Annihilation.

If you try out an IDE don't feel obligated to have to use every feature of it just to justify using it. Just use it much like your text editor to start with and learn the extra features you go.

It is perplexing that if Reddits goal was to make money from AI that it didn't also reach out to the popular third party apps and come up with a deal to keep them operational instead of the current situation.

Talking about hardware is such a nightmare on Reddit these days that I completely avoid it. There's a never ending crowd of people/astroterfers/fanbois posting confidently about shit they have no clue about and are often completely wrong. Their arguments usually boil down to their feels and not objective facts at all.

Apart from the couple of occasional subject matter experts that you see pop up occasionally the tech subs are a write-off now.

I think that a forced paid subscription will probably kill it anyway long term, who in their right mind would pay a subscription to access Reddit?

Also don't forget that thes app owners themselves are running a business and probably make a bunch of money from their apps that they don't want to see evaporate with the changes.

Edit: the Android app for Lemmy is having problems at the moment and comments are being weird.

Oh man they're probably all having wet dreams over being "the hero that saves America" or something right now.

The best that I could find was that there was an 8 person limit and that it wasn't as straightforward as Discord at all.

It's still nice to see them trying and hopefully one day it'll be a viable alternative to Discord itself.
