They never regenerate the same. What I miss is the institutional [metaphorically] memory of an affinity group.
But new people and new ideas are nice too.

TIL that the moderation logs are public. That was kind of surprise to look through.
Huge, if true. I think a lot of people in rural areas need to be exposed to something besides Christian radio…
And it really could benefit people who have jobs that can be WFH now–people could live in these dying towns with real incomes, money to spend, and kids in the school systems.
I hope they get it right.
thank you–I have no idea how to add emojis here, but I’d give you the applause one if I could…
This is why I encouraging comments… I managed to drop kbin into mine :)

Agree–I’m seeing a lot of what I called ‘quiet quitting’ lately. The regulars are posting a lot less, or not at all. I’m not ready to burn-it-all-down, because I want to be able to lure people over later when this is a bit more mature. But it already feels different there.
Reddit is becoming an unusable garbage site.
'Tis.
I think those new drugs look really game-changing. I know they aren’t affordable yet, but soon the insurers will realize they are cheaper than the downstream costs of diabetes.
I was reading in the NYT yesterday that they were making people change behavior not just on hunger, but on the “food noise” that a lot of people have. So this will change the situation in a household and might have additional social consequences for people’s consumption.

Top equipment: A Christina roller pillow. I can’t even find one to show you, they are rare white whales…
Top reference book: Lace, A History.
It’s a very weird hobby, with a lot of second-hand sales among the practitioners once you get in, because there’s no large-scale production of equipment for the most part.
This point struck me too:
Reddit is under no obligation to make its API free. But, it seems, the company has overreached in enforcing the new policy. If its target is the largest AI firms, then it should focus on curbing their parasitic proclivities and not going after beloved and useful software its users and moderators depend on.
This is my feeling. I understand that it could cost something. But the eye-watering rates for the small fish and the speed of the extortion is the issue.
They should have been leaving earlier, the outcome was clear by last year. But when I saw recently that Block Party was going away, I knew that it was going to become hellish and untenable.
Let’s make them welcome here…
The tonedeafness of this C-suite is remarkable. And like twitter, I’m stunned at how quickly they are steering the clown car off the cliff.
I liked twitter, despite its flaws. I liked reddit too–some of it was a swamp, but you could have your little island and mostly be ok. Like most tools they could be used for good or bad, and you could focus on the good.
But they flushed all of the good. What a really stupid plan.
Yeah, I ran into this the other day. I started m/Skeptic because it didn’t exist. Later I found m/Skeptics. And then there was another one, I forget now what that was.
Maybe some of us can merge as we proceed and find our people? But maybe having a couple isn’t the worst thing, if they have some differences.
Looks like a jurisdiction thing–a Canadian ship launched it though.
The submersible was reported missing after it was overdue by a couple of hours on Sunday evening, according to Chief Mi’sel Joe — head of the Mi’kmaq band which owns the ship from which the submersible is launched.
The #Boston coast guard is involved? Weird.
I just wanted to repost this to Boston, but that’s something I don’t know how to do. I posted the link --but is there a way here to repost?
Verizon 5G, $35/month for the 300 mbps / 20 up plan (my needs are not huge, this does the TV streaming and the zoom meetings just fine).
Somerville MA. Was previously paying 3x that for crappy Astound service at half the speed.
