He does, it's weird not a lot of people talk about it in my experience.

He spoke about it himself, he said he needs not necessarily to bulk up but to get stronger at his core and be more stable

With the amount of hype they have built for him, he is GOAT-conversation-level or Bust.

Sad because he could be an amazing player and people be disappointed.

I honestly don't know and wouldn't dispute it, because at the time I was a small kid. I just went by what most people say online (including but not limited to this blog post)

I don't really get why people are quick to trust them. It's highly unlikely (perhaps impossible) that they do something like this just to support the FOSS ecosystem or for the benefit of their users, so they do it for profit, and for them to profit from it, they have to control as much as possible of the entire protocol.

It's not rocket science really

 

Earlier today there was a post about rejecting Meta's intrusion in the fediverse, some don't see the danger in it or think it's unlikely that Meta can do any damage to the fediverse.

Someone posted this in the comments and I think it's extremely relevant and it deserves its own post so all can see it.

I'm not seeing organization by the users in this case to do something like that, though it would be warranted and I'd personally take part in it, given that all the content in Reddit belongs to the users, and the users should have a say

This is it! The point is not just the 3rd party apps. They are just treating us as trash, and want to turn Reddit into something like Twitter or Facebook. Well go ahead, but people will migrate, and for a site that depends totally on the users, that's rough

 

The similarities are amazing, especially considering Reddit was one of the succesors of Digg. They can now enable other successors by making stupid decissions and alienating core users.

I wonder if this speaks to the unsustainability of platforms like these, or the cycle can be broken by making good decissions.

Yeah they don't see the point, wich is the trajectory of the platform.

They are lying to everybody in order to push out of market the 3rd party apps, but that's one side of it, they are also, effectively, forcing you as a user to use a worse app just for them to get more money by doing less.

well, personally, I don't really care if people come here or not. I want that people who want to be here to be here, but not for this to be a massive site where everybody comes because it is "the new reddit".

And I also don't think about everyone leaving Reddit. The new Reddit works for some folks, not for us, so we come here and some other places. I don't want it to die either, it's just not my cup of tea anymore

This is the thing for me too, I just don't want to be in a community where the mods/owners don't care AT ALL about the community and are unwilling to listen. That feels like any other social media to me, and it is not what I was on Reddit for.
