I guess if you download something claiming to be Safari on a third party app store, you get what you deserve??

How else does third party app support lead to a Safari security hole?

Next step: Charging you money if you DON'T want to hear from someone you haven't matched with.

That would finish off Twitter instantly.

He's not THAT dumb. Right guys?

....right??

TBF, the emergency exit is still there, you just can't access it

Since someone answered my question with a direct message (hahah), I'll share it here. If you click on the person's name, there's a "send message" link.

On a desktop browser this is on the right sidebar under their profile pic (if they have one). On mobile, that same panel is almost at the bottom of the page.

 

I see that there's a Messages section in the dropdown under my name, I assume that's for direct messages, but I can't seem to figure out how to actually send one.

Is it an incomplete feature? Am I wrong about what "Messages" is?

I always felt "subreddit" was silly. I call them communities, even on reddit and that word works for me.

Actually, any new leader would likely leave Ukraine immediately. The war has been an overwhelming failure and embarrassment, and the new leader can blame the old leader for leading the country down that road.

Putin would leave too if he didn't think that admitting defeat would get him killed.

I think there's a loud, negative minority that WILL stay there, and it's going to become even more of the type of place that they like.

The real win is having a viable place that people can go instead of Reddit, to force Reddit to compete and improve itself in general. (or have a place people can go if Reddit ultimately shuts down)

To that end, I would stay right here, and then someday if Reddit improves enough, maybe consider using both.

Imagine watching Twitter circle the drain and thinking "I should make similar decisions"

It all comes down to whether or not the fediverse gets big enough to be a real threat to reddit. If so, reddit will suddenly become a lot more interested in improving their experience. I doubt they'll reverse course on the API, but we'll probably get some perfuse apologies and a real attempt to improve their app and website.

June 12th won't change their course. But I think there will be a much bigger mass migration starting on July 1, and that may be what starts to move the needle.
