  • I’d say what went wrong was nobody did anything meaningfuk or cared. Nobody put their money where their mouth is and deleted their accounts, and staying off the site for 2 days was too much to ask of >80% of the users.

    The Mods closed a few subs but didn’t themselves do anything meaningful. They should have let reddit replace them if they actually cared. They should have moved their community to lemmy or kbin. The ones who did sick it out I’m grateful for, the rest cared too much about their own pride to bother trying to keep the admins in check.

    Overall the reddit userbase since the pandemic are mostly entitled whiners who don’t really give a shit as long as they get their twitter and TikTok reposts. There’s literally only one piece of OC on the frontpage of reddit right now. There’s not much value to going there anymore.

    I’m done with Reddit, and honestly I haven’t missed it. My time is now more full of hobbies and actual reading, I’m better off for deleting it.



  • My gut says this is an effort to make employees feel good after layoffs and protests, but also this looks to be someone to juice the monthly active users metric before an IPO roadshow or fundraising or something.

    Ironically /r/place would be a good opportunity to win users to the official app, they probably should have done that before the API price changes to shake the tree of third party apps, so to speak.

    Anyways, this is going to be 80% “fuck /u/spez” memes, a German flag, the Apollo logo, and a perfect OSU game logo.

    I almost decided to make an account just to participate in the new /r/place, but then I would be supporting Reddit.


  • Docker is basically a virtual machine image you write your software in. Then when you run the software you don’t need to worry about compatibility or having the right dependencies installed, it’s all included in the docker image.

    Think of Docker as being Nintendo cartridges that you can take to any friends house, plug them in, and play. Servers can run more than one Docker container.

    The approach greatly simplifies writing code and having it work on your server, reduces errors, and adds a layer of security.
