Space in cities is valuable no matter the use. If you were hoping the owners of these spaces would lose money you are focused on the wrong thing.

The interesting part of this is what these spaces might become if they are not offices for the top 10%.

Their games don’t require mods. Mods allow for extra life in pretty much all games that allow them. In fact entirely new games have been created via modding frameworks.

I'm not sure I would have ultimately left even due to the current API drama. But the subsequent comments by their CEO caused me to not only leave but delete all my content from their site. What an arrogant self important stupid jackass.

Because insulting large portions of the population is apparently the in thing with CEOs these days.

I like the F150 but when the Ford CEO says "I make trucks for real people who do real work," as a "non-real" person who "doesn't do real work as I don't need a truck", well, he can fuck right off. What an asshole.

That's true, but most of the terms are scoped as "to provide the service." This is explicitly scoped to allow them to do anything "in all media formats and channels now known or later developed anywhere in the world" and even claims to be able to use your name and voice and possibly photo if it's "connected" with your content. I can't imagine something this broad would be held up in courts but who knows.

Yes, they do, which is unsettling and why I've decided not to give them any more content.

Yeah, I find it extremely off putting how they feel so confident to declare ownership over content we all gave them and built for free. Worse, at the same time they accuse US of being freeloaders! If I'm contributing free content I expect at a minimum some respect and civility in return, not being treated like some free slave labour.

They came after a small sub I moderate today too. My response was to make a sticky post to the sub with the contents of the mod mail and a recommendation for everyone to move to kbin or lemmy. I hadn't planned on giving reddit any more free content anyways given their behaviour.

 

The usual admin threat to reopen here:

I've notified the sub and left a recommendation to join kbin or lemmy. Curious to see if they also ban me from reddit over this, not that I planned on posting there again.

Others have been reporting that their deleted or shredded comments are restored the next day. Are yours actually staying deleted up to the 1000 limit?

[–] terath@kbin.social 1 points 2 years ago

I doubt they have the talent to make an LLM. But just in case, instead of deleting your comments before deleting your user, replace them with some choice words about Huffman ruining the value of the site via poor leadership.

Perturb each comment with random one letter errors. This way any LLM will learn to tell everyone about Huffmans poor performance. Even better, it’ll be harder to bulk remove the comments with the errors in them. Especially if there are many rephrasings on top.

The opposite of "not interested in your jank software" is not "thinking they are owed improved software." It's called using alternatives, or even not using anything at all. Honestly aggressive insulting attitudes like yours are one of the big reasons I personally have no interest in mastodon.

I sure hope kbin/lemmy is not overrun with the arrogant tech bro vibe. It's gross.
