Lemmy.ml has c/Community_Requests and I think it’s about time we had that on .world too.

While third party app users probably had a larger proportion of contributors, Reddit is big enough to still have plenty of content. Moderators are more interesting and it remains to be seen over time if an erosion of quality moderation happens which would make Reddit even shittier. Especially since Reddit seems to keep fumbling when it comes to providing good first party mod tools, see the whole r/Blind fiasco.

am I wrong in thinking that the users are the product and the advertisers the customer?

As long as profitability is the goal then you are correct.

Just so many. I’ve lost count at this point. Sometimes with one or two episodes left.

It definitely helps. I still have a tendency to just put whatever I’m holding on the nearest available surface when I get distracted and completely forgetting about it though. But it helps as long as I’m not distracted at least!

It’s a clusterfuck really, but yeah the lead writer, designer and artist were all fired and lost the rights to the IP. Litigation is still ongoing I think, and hopefully Kurvitz, Hindpere and Rostov can regain the right to at least produce more work in the IP in the future. Heartbreaking for Kurvitz especially since he’s built the IP with and for his friends from the age of 15.
