It appears to still be around. I have just now heard about it. Are you still active there?

 

Most of the time on Reddit, people didn’t read the linked article 😆

The site has been overloaded, so now they are streaming it on Twitch: https://www.twitch.tv/reddark_247

My favorite parts:

For three years after, Gourmet Haus Staudt was inundated with international visitors. “There was a pilgrimage of Apple junkies from Japan and China and Germany, and they’d ask, ‘Which chair did it happen at?’ And they would take pictures in the chair,” Volker said. The beer responsible for Powell’s downfall that fateful night, Weihenstephaner Vitus — a wheat buck beer from Germany containing 7.7% alcohol by volume — also got a fair amount of publicity thanks to Powell’s final Facebook post before losing the phone: “I underestimated how good German beer is,” he wrote

“Germans were super proud because it was Vitus, a German beer, that brought down Apple,”

🤣

It was and is a series of poor decisions by Reddit. Destroying the hand that feeds, the community itself, and your 3P devs. I’m withholding any rationalization of these decisions by Reddit. Whatever the reason(s), they reveal an out of touch and tone deaf CEO and executive team.

This is great to see. Thanks for sharing.

A lot of gaming communities I’m involved in are centralized on Discord. That’s mostly what keeps me there. If I have a choice, I’d pick Matrix for anything personal or non-gaming focused.

I have found this to be a great resource for general finance and investing knowledge. Hope to eventually see a Bogleheads community here. :)

 

"Bogleheads® emphasize regular saving, broad diversification, and sticking to one's investment plan regardless of market conditions. We follow a small number of simple investment principles that have been shown over time to produce risk-adjusted returns far greater than those achieved by the average investor. They have been further distilled and explained in thousands of posts on the forum.

The power of the wiki is its ability to link content. If a topic has a link, there's more material available. This is not a structured course. Use those links to explore anything you want, and consider bookmarking this page in case you get lost. The start-up kits below are designed to help you begin or improve your investing journey."

I’m not. I’ve always been curious about how people learn about it, realize they’re a furry, etc.

What’s your story of how you became a furry? What does it mean to you?

I don’t mourn Reddit, I mourn the people and ideas I enjoyed engaging with through it. But, I’m glad people chose to find another way to engage (such as Lemmy) vs. staying in that toxic system. :)
