They couldn't profit from it because of a bot. That issue is going to get more widespread and someone you know will be affected by it.

This is some boringdistopia shit. Some bot damn near ruins a family and won't even tell them why.

Nobody cares about small subs until it's your niche hobby sub.

Sorry to hear that. I enjoyed your communities.

Katy Perry was a riot-grrl indie-rocker before she became a pop diva.

I was excited for OW2 as well. I left because of locking heroes behind the battle pass.

Greed has killed Blizzard. They're like Zerg Kerrigan... they look familiar but they're corrupted to the core, and everything they do is tainted by it.

I've already done my mourning, but it felt awful at the time. Sorry you're dealing with it now.

They could always pay the API fees and get ChatGPT to write some Reddit-like comments for them to report on.

Being a mod is a labor of love. If they don't love it any more, they'll leave. They're currently trying to save Reddit from making that happen.

The execs don't seem to understand this.

Lol

Might just be overloaded. Either way doesn't look good for them.

Different types have different advantages and disadvantages.

Slot can be opened with stuff that isn't screwdrivers (keys, coins, etc). They can take more torque than Phillips and are cheap to make. They kind of suck to use though, the screwdriver/bit likes to slip off.

Phillips self-centers the bit, and is pretty tolerant of wrong-sized driver for the screw. It strips easily though.

Torx, square and Allen are more expensive to make and require the correct size driver, but they're higher torque and the driver doesn't slip out of the screw.

I knew a guy that was fishing on a calm summer day when a tree branch fell on him and killed him.

I'm not here because I don't want Reddit, I'm here because I do want Reddit, but it looks like the Reddit Corp is going to break it.

I don't think I'll leave Reddit until it goes to shit, but if mods leave, communities will fall apart and I won't have any reason to be there any more. We'll see what it looks like tomorrow.

Lemmy seems like the most likely to rise up and take Reddit's place, so here I am. My only major complaint is the lack of user base, so I'll stick around for a while and contribute my +1 in the hopes that enough others do the same thing to get the critical mass needed for niche hobby groups to form.
