One other thing to note is that many of these companies don’t even try to determine if you live in California or not. I have worked for two large tech companies on data governance issues and we didn’t even bother to check. If we got a request we would comply with CCPA. It was not worth the potential fines to try and only comply with CA residents. Reddits whole business model is based on that data though so they may deem it worth the effort.

I am a software engineer and I hand write all the time. To me it is better if what I am writing is a work in progress. Typing is too constricting and makes me feel like I can’t make mistakes. I like to write it out. Cross or scribble things out etc. until it is the way I want it. Then I type it out.
At this point I have faith that they can pull off both a long wait, and a shit game.
That is a great point. I definitely don’t enjoy the “hive mind.”
Cool, so what can we do? I would like to join the army fighting off the meta hordes!
Just like on Reddit, I don’t care. As long as it’s not tied to my ability to interact with the community then let them have their silly internet points.
Thanks for doing me the favor. Since I will get blocked shortly let me just say before I go, Donald Trump is the biggest piece of shit ever elected. He is a national embarrassment and you all look like fucking sheep following him as he steals your money and makes fun of you! Peace out dumb asses!
How about people upvote if they feel like it? Not sure why this is a YSK when it’s just one persons opinion.
Whether or not it’s was a failure depends on what you expected from it. Reddit was not going to change its mind. The investors demand more money and will continue to squeeze Reddit for ever dime the can. It wasn’t going to die overnight either.
What did happen is a non-trivial amount of users left and found the Fediverse. Apps are currently being developed to make it more accessible to your average user. The Fediverse will no longer be some obscure thing for a niche group. I think it was a huge success and will have long term repercussions for Reddit.
I hate ISP way more than any gas station. In fact I don’t hate gas stations at all. Weird.
