As Digg found out many years ago. There is nothing stopping Reddit users from leaving. The question is which straw breaks the camel's back... and also lack of viable alternatives, a la Reddit to Digg.
Bewundersucht

Rolls off the tongue a little better. I dunno if such shortening would happen. For fun, for example, in a friendly conversation where you make up your own words like "frenemy". I'm an English speaker with some German training but no speaking. :)

Edit: Looks like this is used in one place on the Internet and Google actually translates it "admiration" if used in a sentence.

"können mich mit ihrer eifernden Sehn-, Wunder-, Macht-, Bewundersucht"

"I can with their zealous yearning, wonder, power, admiration"
I think that's probably it, or at the very least part of it. TD has been a well-trafficed subreddit for a long time, and that means ad revenue.

Around the time of the comment-editing fiasco I remember a couple of other subreddits' mods saying the admins were quite friendly to the TD mods on the Reddit mod discourse. I wouldn't be surprised, considering the behavior they constantly got away with.

Redux. I really like keeping my state flat as the app I mainly work on has a lot of pages which use the same data. Complex component props are derived in mapStateToProps. I find reselect complex and hard to use with typescript, so I simply use memoized functions with memoize-one.
It probably should be minified if the whole point is to improve page load times.

Kind of. It’s different than InstantClick in that it uses <link rel="prefetch"> and can thus be embedded in one minute, while InstantClick transforms a site into an SPA and require additional work.

It’s a different product. The initially planned name for it was “InstantClick Lite”.
I'm writing a little more about that because it's sad to read an article like that that makes no sense.

SEO doesn't exist because the ONLY way to optimize your website is to write good content and get quality backlinks. To be precise, 99% of "SEO" is backlinks and 1% is your HTML quality (in-page SEO).

To give you an example, you can have the worst HTML, no internal linking, to Sitemap, no nothing, but have 10-20 quality backlinks and still be #1 in Google.

I'm doing internet marketing for more than 15 years now and the proof is out there. Quoting something else from the article:

"Google will try to follow relative paths inside of Javascript, even when they don't exist. This can result in polluted crawl error reports."

So he author claims that a relative path to a URL (inside a JS call) will effect your organic results. I wonder if anyone understands that this makes no sense and especially SEO-wise.
Once the animal is dead, I don't see how there's any cruelty involved. You are welcome to find it creepy, or object to the killing of the animal in the first place, but it's certainly not feeling pain by having its corpse being made to dance around.
s/basically//g, it might also expose them to liability. safe harbor is already in question for sites that are moderated. I imagine editing user content crosses another legal line.
It's a shame you are being downvoted because you are absolutely right. The myth that has been built up around this incident is ridiculous. It was essentially the same joke as those Chrome plugins that change "feminist" to "skeleton".

/u/spez's main mistake was pushing it as an actual change to the comments database. If he'd forced a CSS change or whatever this overblown censorship/deception narrative would never have arisen.
Started in CS, became a database programmer, went to grad school in Econ and Finance. Spent some time in Capital Markets after school, but realized I liked tech more. (I liked studying Econ and Finance more than working in that environment. The opposite of CS. Maybe I identify more with programmers than financiers?) I combined the two in Fintech as a way to get back into technology. Now I work in the business side of tech.
Apart from the fact there is no decent reddit alternative. That is after reddit offered their entire product free with the source code and data (and the data is still offered for free...)

If there was going to be an alternative, it would be here by now.

People just don't care that much, contrary to what you may believe.
I work at a SaaS product that hasn’t taken any VC money. We have a modest staff, everyone gets paid very adequately, and we slowly are growing our business as our margin allows us to.

It’s not glamorous, it’s not explosive, but it does create a great work life balance. I have little fear of losing my job because we’re running out of funding, or having to build something we don’t believe in to appease shareholders.

I don’t even describe it as an internet startup to people, I describe it as an internet small business.

Deep work or the fascination of repairing things
I love the question you're bringing up. I truly want more companies to make this a goal.

A couple I can think of are MailChimp and possibly Atlassian.

I believe VC funding is mostly a trap for companies that, while it supplies and can incubate startups, ultimately just leads to more greed and never satiated investors. They'll just keep moving the line of target growth until the company is driven to the ground or, hopefully, it buys itself out of the shackles.

Maybe I simply haven't read too many stories of companies doing the latter.
Excellent. In accordance with your beliefs, let's edit your comment to replace theDonald with some subreddit that I dislike. I'm sure this is totally fine, because after all I'm confident that they're "horrible". We won't need to mark your comment as edited. This is, of course, "OK".

My app helps to share something to everybody. It is simple : a Google map. Just click on it and leave a message for others. You have to put a subject and you can add one or two pictures and a text. Your message will stay on the map from 1s to 7 days.
In the other hand, if you want to retrieve messages from an area, just select a square of the map, click the refresh button and get all messages.
You can contact the sender privately.
Technically, there is no need for you to be geolocated, so I do not geolocate you.

put the cartels out of business by taking care of addicts

Here’s the thing, you have some really powerful drugs, and they aren’t just Flintstones chewable multivitamins.

These are some seriously potent substances, and they represent truly deep, and punishing intellectual traps, with emotional hooks that leave people looking like cattle gored on barbed wire.

So, you can’t just legalize drugs, and let them loose as OTC supplements. There are all kinds of unpublicized and underpublicized reasons for not letting psychoactive pharmaceuticals get into the hands of 20 year-olds, or intellectual 20 year-olds.

When people find a poison enjoyable, murder and treachery are close at hand, as casual pranks, with no way to discern suicide from cruel deception.

Kids get their hands on viagra and dose each other for laughs, so now, extrapolate that to preying on people with cheap cut, at $5 or $20. That doesn’t go away with legalization.

Legalizing drugs is like legalizing assisted suicide. And if the population has a lot of naive, low IQ morons, prepare yourself for quite a bit of really ugly death and destruction.

But hey, maybe social darwinism is the way to go. Open up the flood gates and watch the weak idiots bite it hard. Sounds great.
Of course someone has access to the actual database, no one needed a demonstration to understand that.

It was a prank, a troll on the trollingest people on the platform. That’s all.
> You don’t want employees who are willing to work at a company they think is a blight on humanity.

It's not really about normie or not, but amplification (through number of users) and ease of access. Not just as a reader, but also as a contributor.

SA had a paywall. It had an elitist community that was unwelcoming towards new users, with strict etiquettes shaped by moderators and users alike, and users that were predisposed to forming cliques, along with strictly enforced rules that made it easy to get banned and forced to pay money. One ban was enough for most people to not return, even if they were able to pay. All of these combined to form a significant barrier for new users.

4chan dealt with all of these issues. It was free. It was anonymous, so no one could tell if you were a new user or not, and cliques weren't an issue. There was almost no moderation outside of illegal stuff. The SA community was also very anti-anime, which meant you weren't welcome to be a weeb anywhere other than the dedicated subforum (ADTRW).

So then 4chan gets huge. It's overwhelming for the average person. There's just too much content to sift through. Some of that content is too shocking for the average person. Posting/contributing can be harder for some people who don't want to risk being insulted when they think they are following the informal rules.

Early-mid Reddit ends up being a sort of middle-ground between SA and 4chan. It's free. It's somewhat moderated. It's curated by users through the upvote/downvote system. You need to register an account to post, but you can make new accounts whenever you want (old Reddit didn't require an e-mail), so you can basically be anonymous if you want to. You can further curate and filter content with subreddits. The shocking content is still there for those who want it.

Then Imgur ends up becoming Reddit for people who primarily use mobile devices and don't like Reddit's UI. But the communities exist alongside each other.

A bunch of old SA posters go to Twitter, because it turns out the average Western internet user finds SA posting and humor funny, and the biggest motivation for FYAD shitposting was always attention and building up your "brand". They inadvertently start what becomes known as "weird twitter". SA-style shitposting has now become the standard posting style for people who "get" Twitter.

Between Reddit, Twitter, and Imgur, there's now enough ease of access for your average internet-savvy person to be exposed to a unified Western internet culture, with the flow being 4chan -> Reddit/Imgur -> Twitter, and then Twitter leading to exposure through media like TV, online "journalism", etc..
I believe their open source copy is no longer maintained. https://www.reddit.com/r/programming/comments/6xh3xp/reddits...

But a code base is not an alternative, an alternative is an actual community with a similar focus. You could potentially build it on Reddit's code base if you wanted... but you have to build that somehow. Network effects prevent that from forming and from people leaving existing communities.
Enabling it by default Internet-wide seems like it could be a bad idea for many reasons. If I go out of my way to enable it on my site, I am taking responsibility for the bandwidth and any side-effects of prefetching a link and understand what I am doing. But if it is simply enabled Internet-wide, isn't that bordering on a DDoS? What about poorly-coded websites/apps where GETS are not idempotent or have side-effects? What about server-side analytics/logs tracking HTML downloads?
Well, can you blame them for developing a habit of censorship when the laissez-faire approach gave them a huge problem with kiddie-porn trading, extreme racism, destructive conspiracy theories, anti-Semitism, misogyny, pro-rape communities, etc?

They tried the hands-off approach and it failed spectacularly. The site spent its boom years with basically negligible community-management while it spent its efforts doing damage-control on its overwhelmed servers.
It doesn't have to be. Could start by allowing website authors to opt in via a tag in the <head> or something, then opt out on a per-link basis with an attribute (eg preload=false)
I’m wondering if a possible use case for this is to use it to warm up app servers when doing deployments?

Enumerate through a list of pages on your site and use something like Puppeteer to simulate hovering over links on each page.
I spent a lot of my 20s playing City of Heroes. I made a lot of good, if virtual, friends there and even met my wife. If you came to my house and looked at all the family pictures hanging on the wall, among the pictures of our kids, wedding, and grandparents you'd find a screenshot of our characters[1] which we refer to as "our first picture together."

Blackmail and extortion inherently always present as negotiation; it's what is offered and asked for in the negotiation, and the context around it, that makes the offense.
> My question is - What is preventing this? Is it just a matter of getting enough critical mass onto the new platform? Or is there some other logistical or engineering challenge that I'm not considering?

I think there are a few factors:

1) Is there a similar site already out there that's ready to take thee exodus? Voat doesn't count.

2) Nothing political can effectively drive a migration, because politics are too fragmented. If people are tuned into any issues at all, they're probably only tuned in to one or two, and each issue only has a minority of people tuned into it.

Reddit's smart enough to avoid political positions that are so widely reviled that they could drive an exodus.

3) Regressions in functionality that affect everyone, or a critical set of users, could drive an exodus, I think. But only as long as #1 can be answered in the affirmative.
That might work for you, you are certainly echoing a pervasive social belief, but some studies show that financial incentives for abstract tasks don’t work that well -- they can backfire and be very demotivating when it’s not obvious how to achieve the goal. And many studies show that non-cash incentives work better than cash incentives. In software, the financial reward is not what motivates many programmers.

OTOH, there are easy ways to increase the level of ownership for employees without tying it to compensation. That’s one of the ways I identify good managers from bad ones. The bad ones try very hard keep people focused on tasks the managers came up with. The good ones know how to get the employees to design the tasks, and then help the employees fit themselves into the solution so they have strong self-identity, all while making sure the right tasks are getting done.
Compression and caching makes any minification of small scripts more than negligible.
>The CEO edited the post of a user because they criticized him or something. I can't believe how quickly that's been forgotten.

The CEO changed a single post from "fuck <his username>" to "fuck <username of the moderators of the specific sub-board>" for an hour. While certainly this action was not received well, the drama it caused is way overblown and isn't evidence of being 'plagued with censorship.'

If anything it's plagued with shills from governments and corporations.
The answer is simple: community. Reddit is where the community is.

Digg presumably had more traffic at some point but it was always a voteable link dump with a comment section. It was never really a community.
> I go through several idiotic ideas before hitting on the right one. I'd be embarrassed to admit my silly, initial attempts before my colleagues.

Thats the point. If you published your preliminary silly idea and your colleagues didn't find immediately that it is silly, then your not sillier than they are. :)

> the reasoning is a proof/argument developed in the paper itself

Even when I studied math I found sometimes that just to have proof is not enough to understand. The only way to understand sometimes is to learn how the proof was devised. What the hell author thought to get an idea of some trick in the proof? Some tricks looks as a magic, you see they are true from a logical standpoint, but they make no sense. You cannot understand how they lead to a QED. You can verify proof by logic -- not a problem, but you unable to understand. And if you are unable to understand, then at least you are unable to reproduce this proof at the exam, the only way is to learn it by heart. By I never trained my memory to learn by heart, it is really hard for me and annoying, and moreover I do not believe in learning by heart: to master a subject you need to understand it, not to learn it by heart.

My math experience taught me that if I cannot follow the thoughts of other mathematician by just reading his proof, it means that he is smarter than me, so it doesn't matter then how stupid he behaved while searching for his proof, he outsmarted me already.

But yes, I was talking about experimental research.

This isn't just about software capabilities. The telcos don't need to have remote code execution on the device. Their huge network of receivers has to identify your device for routing, and that reveals your location. Simply connecting to the towers implies that you're within a few miles of them. In areas with denser coverage, triangulating you within a few meters is trivial, and I suspect that every network is storing your location in perpetuity from this method alone. It isn't a issue of software freedom, it's an issue of having a radio signal emitting from your pocket to a huge network of receivers with known positions.

Only way to guarantee you aren't being tracked is to turn the signal off, which isn't feasible for most.
Back when Redux was fairly new, we used a "mixin" architecture with a single component refreshing the entire global state of the application. Unfortunately, this has been a horrible decision and we're currently moving towards a Redux based solution. Nonetheless, the rendering is still impressive.

> But if plants have anything resembling consciousness, it seems to be so different than what we experience, as to be worth distinguishing

Why? They're alive, and their lives are drastically different from ours, but we don't need to distinguish it and use a separate term for term. Unless we know what consciousness is we can't define what has it.
I don't know that the presence of a query string is a great indicator of whether the link causes state change (cue the typical GET immutability arguments, etc.).

For example, in Drupal every path (whether or not it causes state change) has 2 forms: "/?q=path/to/page" (when you don't have access to .htaccess or .conf) and "/path/to/page" (when you do, and you enable clean URLs).
A designer or marketer's focus isn't ux/ui nor should it be.

A marketer is brand building. Could ux/ui be part of it sure but as long as feeling x is associated with product y they have done there job.

A design's job is to express that feeling through design.

UX/UI could be part of it depending on the group targeted. But it's like a red tie it could help but isn't required for that important business meeting.
I had no idea Amazon was doing this as well. I specifically checked the wording on Prime Now once the Instacart story broke.

Embedding via // without explicit SSL should probably be considered harmful or malicious as there is no reason to make such scripts available without SSL. Even if the end website is not using SSL users can still fetch your script securely.
Think online video advertising industry is broken. It puts advertiser first and viewer second by interrupting and forcing conversions.

Created Boss video player that allows the viewer to trigger video overlays when they want to learn more about certain moment. Also opened it up to allow any html css and javascript to be added on top of the video through our back panel. So people can embed any 3rd oarty snippet inside the player; salesforce forms, booking calendar, chat etc.

Also created a free forever plan with no credit card required.

Been over a year in development and now its launched.
>That's great, but you live in a country that have these things called laws and you have to follow them whether or not you personally think that breaking them "isn't so terrible" or not.

No. There are laws and breaking them may result in actions taken by a group that has claimed the right to infringe on my liberty. The action is right or wrong, independently of the law.

In this case the sole consequence is that a person has to create a new spotify account.
Socially I'm pretty liberal but the idea of providing free hard drugs to addicts is really hard to accept intuitively, despite a lot of evidence that it works best at a macro level.

It's also not a clean win. Open a safe injection site and crime and public disobedience goes up in the immediate community. So maybe society is better off, but your neighborhood is substantially worse off. Or you visit the emergency room with a serious but deemed non-life threatening condition and wait 6 hours because all the EMTs are coming in with fentanyl overdoses. These are hard problems that are charged with emotion. You can strongly disagree with prohibitionists, but it's not fair to entirely discount their viewpoint
