I bought some pre-cut led dimming stickers on a sheet. Any new electronics that come into my house get one. As someone who likes to sleep in near complete darkness it's a must have.

People will die. It’ll be 109 here on Wednesday. It’s not even go outside without a water break weather, let alone work.

These people were billionaires. We've learned that there are pretty much only consequences if you mess with rich peoples money. What happens if you murder a bunch of them through negligence?

I think they will find a way to destroy this company and all of these people involved no matter what form that takes.

According to the internet spez's net worth is 8 to 10 million dollars. Even if that's wildly incorrect, he isn't even worth an amount of money Musk loses or gains in a few minutes of a normal day.

I agree. I personally don't have anything filtered out though. I just don't use Twitter, which I take it is where most of the talk about this guy was. I also really specifically used (until recently) /r/all to make sure I'm getting what is hopefully a representative survey of what other people care about and are talking about and I also just check the regular news. It's important to me to get a well rounded view on things.

I've definitely heard about most of the other edge lords though. Chowder, eyebrows mcgoo, the one that looks like a hipster bartender, and the one that looks like a hobo with dead eyes.

I had never heard of this guy before the most recent debacle and I'm on the internet a lot. So at least it's good that his reach wasn't really as far as it might seem.

They are all going to leave eventually. If this utter disdain for the users and mods is before the ipo, then everything after will be much worse. It is inevitable now that the quality of content will decrease, and that’s the thing that will doom them. Even if they fire Huffman and walk this back, the damage is done. They can’t draw in new users on a more than decade old product, so their only choice is to change the product to appeal to new users. Today that means going left or right. The users and mods that stay are writing graffiti on the walls in a flooding city.

I’ve been wondering which social media platform was going to fold like a house of cards, completely unable to make money or attract investors. Reddit was at the bottom of that list, but here we are.

Elongated has a rabid fan base built around what were perceived to be real accomplishments towards the betterment of mankind. That's not true, of course, but he's also actually wildly, wildly rich.

By contrast I have yet to find a single person who supports Spez or even likes him at all. His accomplishments, real or imagined, are nothing. He's rich but so, so, so much less rich that the contrast is like comparing our moon to the sun.

This is like a kid with a plastic butter knife comparing himself to John Wayne Gacy.

I’ve been reading more and playing my back catalog of games. I’m enjoying having a little less doom and gloom in my life.

I quit Twitter years ago and now when I go back it just doesn’t appeal to me at all. I already feel that way with Reddit mostly because Spez really created bad blood. I will miss the people but I don’t trust him and I don’t want him to make a single dollar off of me.

Any link to that tutorial?

This is the richest part of all of it. They’re taking tools away from people with no time frame for replacements. I’ve been using Reddit for 16 years and the only things I’ve ever seen them ship are new Reddit, rewards, premium, and avatars. The fact that it’s 2023 and they have accessibility issues is appalling. If they can’t handle screen readers then mod tools ain’t coming.

Maybe try Picross? I don't know how exciting that would be for a kid but I love it.
