…got any grapes?

Connect is great but I can’t get over how ugly I think the icon is, so I’ve been using Liftoff instead. Turns out I’m shallow when it comes to tech!

I only do as much of what I hate as of which I like. I couldn’t picture being close or further yet it seems like I could.

I mostly don’t understand why they made so many different awards. I thought Gold was a cool way of a user supporting Reddit while also showing their gratitude toward another user. After all, users cared about karma even though it didn’t really do anything so an award was just an extra “tip” of appreciation.

It definitely lost its luster to me though once they changed it to awards and it became messy.

It sounds like the movie Now You See Me? My guess is the first, but I never saw any of the others so they may take place in NYC as well.

Turns out I liked getting fucked so I needed to find another outlet after leaving Spez…

I would also like to know why I should have 5 a day.

I had nearly the same reaction! Assumed it was Lemmy as well but on a specific app. Hopped in the comments to figure out which one to avoid, very relieved it’s one that I’m already not using.

What’s the app that appears to be an Instagram replacement?

Well…it’s beans and no poop, really. Or at least less of it.

Have some respect. It isn’t just a can of beans. The can clearly says it’s with fucking tomato sauce.

Mods are unpaid “workers” that make it possible for Reddit to be appealing to advertisers and be potentially viable to go public. Framing the story around them gives outsiders a reason to think that admins are doing something that will make their unpaid jobs harder (which is true) and gives them someone to feel bad for.

Otherwise the story is a bunch of non-paying users of Reddit are upset that a company wants to regain control over the ad revenue 3rd party app creators take instead, either through ads on their own platforms or premium memberships. Which I do think there is more nuance because Reddit is only as powerful as their user base so maybe they deserve some concessions, but the average news reader who isn’t on Reddit won’t understand that.

Just to clarify, I’m annoyed as well and not saying we shouldn’t take our contributors and lurkers elsewhere. I moved over to Lemmy as a RIF user and refuse to use the app. Just giving the likely answer to the question!
