It was probably hitting reddit a lot, which has now disabled their api

To say it gives you nothing IRL is ignorant of the online social engineering these platforms can do
Biden was the better choice between two garbage candidates because no one voted in the primaries. This was literally his platform, and most who did vote wanted that.
I've found it has the weirdest active communities. The best poison control first line is through a facebook group.
It's great for 'boomer knowledge'. Geo trackers, foraging, mushroom growing, 80's japanese guitars, tree ID, etc.
Marketplace has taken away some of the sketchiness of Craigslist.
Facebook and Meta and Zucc are evil, but facebook is still a useful tool
Facebook is nowhere near as dead as you think it is. It is still the best place for local groups and many niche hobbyist groups. I really don't want reddit to be another version of that, 1 crappy social site is enough. Also you're missing a key differentiating factor: facebook has actual paid content moderators.
I don't think reddit will die, at least not right away (remember, digg shut down finally in 2018).
Best case scenario is they hemorrhage users, fail ipo, and then join the fediverse. I say this because joining will create a bridge for new users to come here.
Worst case scenario is they become like twitter. which is possible.
My money is on them trying to sell to Microsoft or Google for ai training, and keeping their api private.
It's been archived, but I can't find an easy way to browse it. So far I've just been using the web archives plugin and finding a archived version of a page
I've gotten it to give boiler plate for converting one library to another for certain embedded protocols for different platforms. It creates entry level code, but nothing that's too hard to clean up or to get the gist of how a library works.
This would go against Dem's #1 policy: self-sabotage.
Lets hope the company stays afloat after this one. Hopefully they can get more billionaires to sign on
People HATE that deboosting shit. People HATE the idea that the corps track this data to try and get inside your head and see how you think and act, so they can better influence it to their own ends. And right now, it's no longer really about an app as it is, it's all about meta. This will be gasoline on the fire.
TicTok is still very popular
Discord servers do not fill the void of a subreddit. I hate that some communities have exclusively moved there. It's nearly impossible to have a real discussion on an active server
I still have a few communities that have yet to migrate, so I hate browse them. But sometimes it recommends these rating subs, and morbid curiosity takes over. I swear, the vitriol that is emitted from some of these people... It's just depressing to see people treated that way
