had that subreddit not already moved offsite by that point? or do you mean that they only had enough momentum to carry a substantial userbase off-site because reddit dragged their feet for so long on doing anything about it? if the latter, I agree.

will reddit care that much? posting pictures of steam is still pageviews and engagement, which is really all they care about
This is very cool.
Exactly. I feel like the fanbase underestimates the value of having a known quantity, and the value of a coach who can get the players to buy in the way Berhalter has.
Like if Mourinho or Zidane were in the conversation, obviously do that. But realistically those guys aren't lining up for the US job. And if it's between like Marsch, Vieria, and Berhalter, I'm for Berhalter.
USMNT twitter and Reddit are in full meltdown mode, but I'm honestly pretty happy with that
the thing is, this is an awful strategy for getting people onto a platform. The reason for reddit's success was that there were forums for pretty much anything you could think of centralized in one place.
99.9% of people don't care that much about which app, which instance, which server, whatever, they're just there for the content. The fact that so many reddit users are up in arms about it is a legacy from when it was a much more niche platform than it is today. But in general, this confusing mess of federation, moderation philosophies, defederation, it doesn't matter which instance you choose because they federate, but actually it does matter because some of them don't, a wall of text needed to explain what happens when the mods of two different servers have a disagreement and how the federation protocol works, it's just not a good strategy for getting people onto the platform.
the biggest thing that I would use it for would be individual blogs, I just only have 3 or 4 of those that I follow.
For the others, it doesn't help me that much to centralize them. Like with the hacker news rss feed, I can't comment or interact from the rss reader, so I might as well use the website. With twitter, all of my twitter follows are already centralized on twitter; same with youtube.
The problem isn't that I don't know about RSS, it's more that I don't really have any content sources that use it
automated/networked backups like people are talking about here are great, but even just an external SSD and the nautilus copy function will give you at least some insurance.
it is really annoying to subscribe to communities on federated servers -- there should be a link that will redirect you to your home server. As of now I seem to have to copy and paste the community address into the URL because the feddit.de community search doesn't seem to be working for me
yep, the default sorting makes it looks like nothing has been posted for 3 days
