Insanity. I’ve been around a few times when people were talking about migrating but this truly does seem like the most real possibility yet. And I welcome it with open arms.
What if they're doing this, letting us all get riled up, and then after the black out they go "ok ok, we get it. We'll reduce the cost down to insert still high but irritatingly doable number" and that was the plan all along. That they started outrageously high so they can land where they actually expected to be. A bunch of users go back grumbling but feeling like they still won, yet we got 4d cheesed.
Or I'm just high.
If this was meant to be a good PR thing for Reddit, they wouldn't have done that terrible AMA. I really do thing Reddit is dead set on their plans right now.
Reddit and their sham AMA will be remembered as how NOT to manage a social platform and its PR
Are we supposed to see an image? I have the google scripts blocked and I don't want to send a request to google just for the test. I hope Kbin doesn't plan to rely on google.
Another option is to upload images to pixelfed and copy the link here.
Would be so great if we could just rely on microservices from the fediverse.
Remember Digg? I remember Digg.
Of course with all the media coverage, the traffic will go up. I have removed the site from my favorites and Sync from my phone's homescreen so I don't accidentally click on it, muscle memory.
I replaced my RiF shortcut on my homescreen with Dropbox and I keep reflexively tapping on it. I got to work on that habit.
Haha, I did exactly the same thing: removed rif from my homescreen so I wouldn't accidentally tap on it!
I'm stunned by the huge number of people still using the app but... ironically upvoting subs going dark
Let’s hope they don’t come back after two days… a small, predictable protest like that never works. It has to catch them off guard.
