The article comments are linked to Reddit, if you click on "Replies" it routes you to the topic on Reddit where there are posts about leaving the platform.

I will give you 2 shiba inu coins (worth $0.00001574).

There are like 2.7 million reviews. At a rating of 4.8 it would take tens of thousands to reduce that by just a tenth of a point even if they rated it as a 1.

(50+ awards right now, but who’s counting?)

Apparently you are, Reddit.

I've seen a few Wikipedia references do exactly the same thing.

Have you tried using Wayback Machine to see if there's an archive of the sites you have bookmarked?

I remember how excited I was to download the trailer for The Phantom Menace in 1999. Took almost an hour on a 56k modem. Or how it took under 10 minutes to download a 8 megabyte song off Napster on DSL.

As a nomad, I finished the game leaving Night City with the Aldercados & Judy. Seemed the best ending...haven't tried the others yet. I think that's the most anti-corpo ending you get out of the game.

I've been playing it over a year now. Once I was able to snag a PS5 and Playstation put it back in the store I picked it up.

MUCH MUCH better playing than launch...r/cyberpunk2077 used up a lot of salt throughout its tenure as a subreddit. Yet most the extreme hate the game drew was due to the insane promises CDPR made prior to launch. I'm personally not buying the DLC coming out in September until after it's released because of the botched launch, however I do expect it's going to run a lot smoother than the game's launch.

BUT as a base game, if you can pick it up on sale now, by all means I recommend getting it.

Speaking about Phantom Liberty it reminds me. I finished the game prior to the patch that included items about David. Do you know if the events of Edgerunner are supposed to occur canonically during the events V's experiences, or afterwards?

Reddit will replace the mods with those friendly to Admins/Spez and revert back to the way the sub was run prior to the blackout and malicious compliance. This is unfortunately, the only way it's going to end now.

I'm giving the most plausible scenario. They don't need a mod from r/pics to take over; they can use anyone who is power hungry enough to do the job.

Not saying I like it, or agree with it, just giving the most plausible option for Reddit to take at this point.

Because, let's be clear about this, Reddit is winning this battle even if they won't win the war. This overall event spells the end of the site as we know it...or knew it. The malicious compliance, changing to NSFW, the broad interpretation of the rules...it doesn't matter. Reddit is going to win this, or appear to win this in the short term, even if it entirely kills their future. They'll kill a 20 million subscriber subreddit to do it if they need to.

I'm just as old as he is, maybe only a few years younger. I started to learn computers on a Commodore VIC 20 and 64, used tape drives for storage. I entered into BBS near the end of its popularity, however I used chat boards, AOL, and Geocities...old forums as well. I also moderated a forum for a few years on a Star Wars fan site before the admin shut it down and I moved to Reddit.

I have a lot of experience navigating forums as well...Fediverse sometimes takes a little bit more digging to find what you want. The point I was also trying to make is that these platforms are also in their infancy, their alpha programming state. So things will change, the platform will develop. This kind of thing isn't built in a day, yet IMHO it's so much nicer not having ads forced down my throat on desktop every five posts.

If this person doesn't like the experience here, then there's nothing saying he can't go back to Reddit.

So true...my well thought out comments mostly flew under the radar. Stupid ones, or low effort ones received the most upvotes.

It's such an odd measure, and people in different subreddits were all over the place with their upvotes. I often couldn't make sense out of it.

What would you do if you had to engage in conversation?

Madison_rogue,
@Madison_rogue@kbin.social avatar

I don't think it's a question of enough people ditching Reddit, but just enough to create and/or provide quality content.

And really that doesn't matter as much as participating in a platform that's free of all the BS Reddit evolved into. Fediverse has a platform free of almost everything long term Redditors came to hate.
