L4sBotReddit API fee protests push into third week
linearchaosThere's no way they can IPO with under the current circumstances. They'll not be able to strong-arm the volunteers into submission. I'm thinking there's a deadline, they'll drop spez and sell the company off to some place that gives a crap.
KetchupWouldn’t it be enjoyable to watch receive news of that here on Lemmy 🤭
They'll sell the company off to some place that will give less of a crap. It will become Deaddit.
you're not wrong
DeadNinjaDeaddit - love that moniker !!
Reddit was once a beautiful thing, I hope a way can be found for it to remain so. But this seems like a much nicer place now, more like the Reddit of old. So unfortunately, Deaddit seems like the only moniker that fits now.
Kinda sorta hope we can federate in reddit's history at some point, like a static instance and move on. I've pretty much jumped ship, but no point in denying there's a history there.
While Greece is still relevant today, its ancient history is what people look to. So long as Reddit continues to exist in search results, it will serve a similar purpose.
The problem with your analogy is that swaths of Reddit's knowledge is intentionally being overwritten by its posters. There's no guarantee that indexed search results won't link to a comment that just says "Fuck /u/spez".
this is what I fear, this is probably a hot take but I hope reddit might as well make it possible to see the first iteration of a comment, genuinely useful for knowledge subreddit
Reddit has, throughout the years, said that they don't keep a revision history of comments, only the text from the most recent comment and flags like "deleted", "edited", "removed by mods" etc.
Of course, they could be lying, but a lot of these things were said before the recent drama and there's no real reason to doubt.
I suppose one could go dig up the old open-sourced code from like 2017 and see how comments and posts were stored then, and hope in the intervening years they hadn't altered it?
blivetI suspect it’s the truth. For a site the size of Reddit keeping a version history of comments would represent a huge expenditure of resources for essentially no purpose.
Let's be real. That probably happened with ancient civilizations like Greece and Rome too lol in fact there are some d ocumentaries that point out just that, with Graves being defaced with.. unkind words haha very uncouth and graffiti all over temples that are anti certain statesmen of the time etc
gornarI appreciate this sentiment!
