They've been running away from their culture of free speech since 2008. The only direction they have ever moved has been in the opposite direction.

I expect most of the "popular" subs (like the one you mentioned) aren't ones I have ever been aware of or cared to be aware of.

Its not the loss of moderators, its the loss of content. If reddit hadn't changed their original self moderation model this couldn't happen. Or at least, not like this.

Moderators are not responsible for making content, they just moderate a sub where others create content. Originally users moderated content on their own.

Pretty funny how reddit's move to authoritarianism has worked against them this time.

Aloe. The easiest. Can forget to water it for weeks. Doesn't need a large amount of light. And it is a useful crop.

I once bought a metal wash tub, put it on my porch, added sand, rocks, plants, fish and water... and called it a pond. It is pretty easy to do.

Anything that will hold water for a couple weeks will have tadpoles in it pretty quick.

There have been a few stories about some companies getting punished for not going along with this plan of selling this private information. Like I think Qwest for example. This was over a decade ago, so I don't remember all the details that clearly.

I think most of them I'd be using on windows as well. Like blender, gimp, krita, librewolf, libreoffice, thunderbird, virtualbox, etc.. etc.. etc.. Although it was 15 years ago I had switched to mostly open source applications in the years prior to eventually switching to linux entirely.

Gimp is a quality program... but I agree that it is hard to relearn when you've gotten use to photoshop for almost 3 decades.

Although Krita is a high quality illustration program. I try harder to motivate my self to learn that.

There is also abiword for a relatively lighter weight word processor that handles doc files. Although I also lean to using a text editor most of the time. Right now my favorite is kate.

I like this idea. It reminds me of what reddit was like for the first 3 years before subs and mods were introduced.

[–] ASCIIansi@infosec.pub 1 points 2 years ago

meh.. the same problem exists on reddit.

Not really... they just choose the more popular one and don't think anything more about it.
