Literally. People forget that these instances are privately run (just as Reddit is). There is no obligation to the “public good”.

I’m not sure if you will find much sympathy here. Many people (myself included) left Reddit because their policies and ethics now outweigh the benefits of a refined, smooth experience. Although, even that may be gone now if you’re switching from Apollo to the default Reddit app…

The communities here have made any occasional glitches worth it for me.

P.S. you can set your sorting preference under Settings.

For months, the BBC has been communicating in secret with three North Koreans living in the country.

As a fan of craft beer, I like the taste. It’s like drinking different types of bread.

When I toured Europe, I found the beer was definitely lighter there.

I was on Apollo and while I support Christian, I’m not sure I can support Reddit anymore.

I think a lot of new users are coming in and interacting with the first post they see, which is usually the post at the top of the “hot” feed. In turn, this keeps the “hot” posts up longer because of the constant interaction.

I expect it’ll cycle through within the week once the blackout is up.

Would anyone be able to comment on the tangible effects of the strike? The article just says it could have “damaging effects on the economy” - are we talking shortage of goods or something else? What flows through the BC ports?

I think any Sens fan will agree with you. Hindsight is 20/20.

So frustrating to see city councillors originally voting down the housing affordability recommendations because they included zoning for more duplexes, townhouses, etc. Good heavens - it is not like someone is putting up a pig farm in your backyard.

All in all, very cool to see Calgary getting attention on the international stage.

The pessimistic Internet user in me knows we are in the honeymoon stage of a wonderful user base.

Thought I’d do my part to help kick off this community!

Seahawks! Feeling much more optimistic this year… of course, the low expectations is maybe what made last year so fun.

I’m really enjoying the interface! I browse mobile on Chrome. I hope to see lots of people stick around and build some great communities.

Pleasantly surprised that most people are friendly, polite, and positive here - you never know what to expect when you make the switch.

I’m not very tech-savvy so it took a little bit to find my instance, but now it’s been smooth sailing.
