The problem is they see that and think, well that's at least partially true of Google and Meta too and yet they print money. They probably know their own history and culture makes it harder for them but that must obviously be their goal or they would make no sense as a large company, if they just want to be a good host for communities they could be a company of 10-15 people and live off donations and a low level of ads. That ship has sailed. This same growth pattern has killed almost every "cool" tech company in the last 20 years.
The endgame should simply be:

1. Reddit management gets their head out of their asses and negotiates a better change to API fees and structure. Throughout this whole ordeal everyone else (Apollo dev, mods, etc.) has made extremely reasonable points, but Reddit management seems to be gaslighting and arguing in bad faith at every turn.

2. If management doesn't change, Reddit should die. Why should all these mods donate huge amounts of time to a platform that disrespects them at every turn?
> New user experience is very confusing. You have to learn a bunch of dorky sounding terminology right away (instance, fediverse/federated, etc), and there are a whole bunch of instances to choose from, but none of them may be particularly appealing or relevant to you specifically.

For technical discussions, this is a feature not a bug. Having a small technical hurdle to get over before contributing is a filter when it comes to having technical conversations that aren’t immediately shit up by low effort content.

The somethingawful forums are STILL around despite not being relevant in popular internet culture for almost 2 decades. Paying a one time $10 fee to post kept out people who weren’t really interested in contributing to the conversation.
Christianity has a lot of factions so I can’t presume to speak for all of them but I have studied many of them.

You are right that a core tenant is “where one or more is gathered in my name, I am” so a congregation would have the presence of the Holy Spirit but as far as I know, no sect believes it is a hive mind presence of other believers but rather a separate person of the triune godhead (Father,Son,Holy Spirit). The finer points of the spirit coming and going and where he proceeds from have started actual and ongoing wars.

AI church is about as dystopian and yet farcical as you can get. Like writing a love letter with AI.
The fediverse has places like https://kbin.social/ or there are instances of Lemmy, (https://join-lemmy.org/instances) but most people will want to avoid the "main" lemmy instances for places like https://beehaw.org/

The main lemmy instance is under heavy load and its admins definitely have their own political slant, and if you're not comfortable with that (most aren't) it's best to find a different one or make your own instance.

> The app they’re burning down Reddit over is

Lmao. Do you even realize what all these are about...? Reddit's pricing API policy is making ALL the apps unsustaniable. It's not "the app".

> Facebook is $200 ARPU in the US.

Yeah so? Only users and mods in the US matter and fuck the rest of the world?

Plus Reddit is, surprisingly, not Facebook. I don't even understand why you're comparing them. Actually I believe many people use Reddit because it's not like Facebook.
2 subreddits with more than 20 million subscribers, 1 subreddit with more than 10 million, 23 with more than 1 million subscribers, 18 with more than 500K, 32 with more than 250K... seems like it's beginning to add up to me and it's only 7:40 CEST.

I'm shutting down roughly 50 just before midnight CEST and I expect things to accelerate with the date change at GMT.
Usually I am anti-internet stunts like this. The vast majority of boycotts are dumb wastes of time.

That said, Reddit should have built better mod tools before making their api change.

I think people complaining about not having 3rd party apps to browse reddit is "meh". But moderators need to be able to do their jobs.
To self-reinforce my participation in the strike, I logged out of reddit and disabled Reddit Enhancement Suite and the Old.reddit Redirect add-ons, and looking at the front page without those improvements (which I'm sure a minority of users use) it's shocking how terrible the site's UI is for the uninitiated. For the "front page of the internet" it sure looks like a bad Twitter clone.
If that were the case people would have left long ago, Reddit has plenty of downsides.

Personally I know of no other place where I can get discussions on such a wide range of topics (AskHistorians, biking, my local neighbourhood) presented to me in a simple format. I hope there will be but I’m not holding my breath.
this looks like a good way for humanity get fuxked.

Not only will individuals loose the ability to farm, it will be locked up in companies. Who will likely make it illegal for others to do the same.

Beyond that we will likely loose access to all strains of plants that’s can grow well outside.

As a safe guard. Humanity needs a super farm that is isolated and trains and maintains the old ways.
Really I thought they doubled down. If this is true then this is very good news.
Typically Discord, but Discord has its own issues. When the Digg meltdown happened, Reddit was already a Digg clone at the time (this was the days before subreddits).

It should be permanent if these boycotters want an effective outcome, but a 48-hours boycott sends the wrong message and just communicates that it is OK to do these sorts of shenanigans and all they will get a slap on the wrist.
I like that they went back and edited their comment to change that wording.

Of course, given the edit, one must wonder who's data they think it is given who they're collecting it from...

Ask HN: Proven front end stack for fast iteration
Hey!

I’m building a one man SaaS (and sharing the journey in my LinkedIn/Blog - check the bio for more info).

I’m more of a backend guy, and know NodeJS well enough, so my backend stack is chosen.

I however despise frontend, and never liked working with it. What is a good frontend stack for fast iteration, for a non dynamically heavy website? Is it server site rendering with a template engine like ejs? Is it Next.js? Something else?

I have experience with Next, Astro, react and tailwind - if that helps.

Thanks!
Reddit has taken over "abandoned" subreddits in the past and replaced the moderation teams. By making this temporary, the moderators of topic-based subreddits can continue to organize their communities, including organized migration to new places like Discord.
I've also been experiencing weird behavior like that. Also the radar map fails to load a lot, and sometimes it looks like the radar animation plays backwards? Seems pretty unreliable. I've been using Windy instead.
The power of an organize and commit to a strike obviously. Reddit is nothing without mods. Going private is, as I said, just a sampler. The endgame would be for the mods to just leave if Reddit doesn't change course. This signals that that is a definite possibility since they've shown a. their unanimity of objection b. their ability to organize and c. their commitment to action.
Nope, it is not midnight even in Moscow timezone so European part of Russia. Which is most Eastern part.
> the ActivityPub protocol is pretty inefficient when you have lots of small instances

This seems like a pretty fundamental design flaw. It means that redundancy is there—you can always find another instance if you're made homeless—but self-sovereignty was not prioritized in the design.

The kind of person who's attracted to the idea of federation is going to be disproportionately likely to want to self-host, so the system should be designed from the outset for at least tens of thousands of instances.

EVs are actually a real success story.

The fact that they are simply better than the alternative in multiple dimensions has rapidly accelerated the transition.

It's kick started an arms race in battery production that's already delivered cheap batteries suitable for bikes, busses, large trucks and now flight, which will in turn be a leap forward for cars.

Meanwhile, the amount of batteries available for integrating renewables is turning into a surge, which lets us roll out more and cheaper renewables.

It's multiple, positive, reinforcing cycles even before you get to the reduction in local pollution, less brake dust, the ability to produce smaller cars, solar roofs, longer lasting vehicles, and a bunch of other good stuff.
I wish here in the USA we could get convenience stores even close to how good they are in places like Japan and Thailand. Why do they get 7-11: The Good Version?
My prediction is that the “strike” will be utterly useless. It will usher in the era of full-spectrum AI moderation faster. The world will keep turning, and most Reddit users simply won’t care that much.

Cynical take? Certainly. I think this was always doomed to failure through eventual apathy.

Do I want it to fail? Of course not, but it feels as poorly thought out as Occupy Wall Street did.
Besides this boycott is at best useless, most are only going offline for 48 hours; it should be permanent until they reverse the decision if they were being sincere.
It's not Reddit's content, it's the community's. It's literally users wanting to access their own stuff in a different way.

If Reddit thinks it's theirs, they will soon notice that nothing is left of their business when those communities have moved elsewhere. To even create this war against your own users is complete folly.

A moderated newsgroup would be OK; I tend to treat email and news (back in the usenet heyday) in a pretty similar way. Both are text-based messages coming to an inbox where my client application can sort/filter/present them to me in a way that I like. I find the experience of a listserv/mailman style email list and a newsgroup to be pretty similar. The key in both cases is that the protocol is open, I choose the client, and I choose how to manage the messages (beyond any moderation that may exist).
Fun fact: WebObjects was the most expensive product Apple has ever sold, at $50000. It managed to keep NeXT alive after the hardware business collapsed

Lemmy, tildes, and arguably pixelfed for those subreddits that were image heavy.
Why only 2 days? This could happen again or it could keep going. Thus shows reddit what they are without all the freely contributed content and mod work.
I don't know how widespread the sentiment is, but some mods have decided after the disastrous AMA that they're going dark indefinitely, until Reddit walks back the changes.
https://archive.ph/SJzYd
Many are now committing to either going dark indefinitely, or to reassess after the 14th, maybe with a poll to their members on how to proceed. This will definitely be going on for more than 2 days.
Not sure what the relation between YC and Reddit is these days, but wouldn't HN be in the prime position to take over? I feel all that is needed is to add sub-hn's. Reddit got Digg's business because Digg gambled away all of it's good will. That was a long time ago, Reddit since been going down the same path.

Point is, all these companies are trying to monetize, generate profits, like they somehow responsible for the value the users are creating. All they're doing is hosting bunch of python scripts.

Swallow your pride reddit, you're nothing but a message board and you don't own a single word your users type.
Nope. Because cars _save_ _time_.

> And dismissing the fact that the environment didn't produce the same outcome for all the other individuals isn't myopic?

That’s just his statistics work… Making a rare event more common does not make it a certainty. Again, we don’t know about any possible other people who might have been seriously disturbed in other, less attention-grabbing ways.

Nobody said that it was the only reason, but let’s be honest: if you take unstable people and condition them that way, such outcomes are not inconceivable. Saying that the experiment (weekly hours of psychological torture) did not affect this is not really believable.

> There's more nuance here than "Well, it was the environment".

It’s a good thing nobody said that, then…

> If the sample was large (more than a few hundred), then it becomes more probable than the environment was not the deciding factor in TKs state of mind.

Regardless of sample size, people who go full rogue that way are exceedingly rare in the first place. You’d need thousands upon thousands of subjects to detect increases over a baseline chance of 1:10000000.

> Simply dismissing all the agency TK had is specious.

Again, nobody said that. In any case, I certainly did not. I think we can have a rational discourse between “he was inhuman and absolutely evil” (he was not) and “he was actually right” (he was not either). In the end, he was just a human. His nature, upbringing, and environment all played roles.
Im curious about this too
And then who will moderate them? Does Reddit have 18,000 employees ready to take over? Or a bunch of scans waiting in the wings?

Reddit wanted 2.50/month/app

I think the pricing model is per API call, and Reddit was claiming that a typical user, with the app using the data the way Reddit envisions, would use that quantity of API calls.

This, of course, assumes that every app is designed similar to the way Reddit expects, i.e., Reddit is assuming that nobody will do anything to add any value on top of Reddit's own design. But isn't that value-add part of the reason these apps exist in the first place?
Twitter too! When I worked there they jokingly referred to the head of product as the defense against the dark arts teacher, in that every year or so they'd disappear mysteriously and there'd be a new one. Most of Twitter's successes came from watching what users were actually doing and supporting that (e.g., at mentions, retweets, quote tweets). Many of their failures have been trying to graft on something irrelevant or actively contradictory to user needs. Or just flat out ignoring things users liked, as with them closing down Vine and letting TikTok come in to win as the short, fun video platform.

But network effects businesses are really hard to kill. Sure, Musk has set $20-30 billion on fire and Twitter is rapidly decaying. But imagine taking a resilient business like a McDonald's franchise and subjecting it to Musk levels of chaos. It would have been out of business long before, instead of merely shrinking significantly.
don't think meth or fentanyl changes his hypothesis. if you see the interviews of those in bandos in Baltimore or on the street in Kensington, they have endured trauma their entire lives. Whether it's societal induced trauma like racism, poverty, family trauma, violence, or whatever else. These people are choosing to escape their "cages" with these drugs.
> Infanticide was very common in ancient times pre-Christianity:

But christianity allows for infanticide. God himself did wipe out all the first born infant sons of egypt after all.

> What many in the West think of as 'obvious' universal rights are in fact culturally contingent on Christianity.

The racism, misogyny, slavery and genocide is also culturally contingent on Christianity as well.

"Now go and strike Amalek and devote to destruction[a] all that they have. Do not spare them, but kill both man and woman, child and infant, ox and sheep, camel and donkey."

https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=1+Samuel+15%3A2...

The "beauty" of the bible is that it is hundreds of pages long and gives christians the justification for all the evil and good in the world. It isn't an accident that the greatest acts of genocide in human history have been carried out by christians. Entire continents genocided, entire races enslaved, entire cities nuked. All by christians.

A religion, book, god, etc that orders you to murder children and infants cannot be a source of morality. If you think equality of sexes, races, etc are grounded in christianity then you do not know christianity. A religion that believes a woman was created from a man's rib and brought about his downfall is the basis of the universal rights?
The black box has nothing to do with the transponders and tracking equipment.

The black box can’t be disabled AFAIK.

The argument in favor of disabling tracking is that the equipment itself could potentially malfunction in a way that disabling it would be safer (if it were interfering with voice communications or transmitting an emergency code inappropriately).

I fly small planes and it is not unheard of for ATC to ask pilots to cycle the power on a transponder that isn’t responding as expected. I assume that airline grade equipment is more reliable, but the same principle applies
Most communities seem to be moving over to Discord, which is by no means a valid Reddit replacement (in my opinion at least) but it is the only option with decent popularity and moderation tools that are not completely unusable at scale. Lemmy is being thrown around as a "proper" Reddit alternative, but realistically it will probably meet the same fate as Mastodon: plenty of people will try it for a week or so, only to realize that the platform sucks and the content simply isn't there.
... same as bakery manager? And in both cases it helps understanding underlying work, unless you don't just fill forms, organize meetings and chase/yell at people (then you can be easily cut&pasted elsewhere with same great results)
I can see why something as capital intensive as semiconductors would need shifts, to use equipment as close to 24/7 as possible. But many other aspects of the working conditions are pretty bad, and not justified by the pay nor efficiency gains, I'd think. The enthusiasm that TSMC seems to think employees should have for their employer (in this and other articles) is off-putting, though explicable for a firm that is a standard-bearer for Taiwan, and at least in part a national project with symbolic significance there.
Are they good questions though? It feels like github/gitlab/gitea solve 90% of these questions at scale fine.

Personally these questions came off as a rude routine to me, one that prefigure whenever anyone suggests networked social systems. Healthy skepticism is good, just but people who spread disbelief dont rank high in my estimation.

As for rewriting history, maybe use a month by month git repo, so if old content needs to be rebased the blast zone is contained. Job done. Then git submodules to collect each month.
> even in the 80s I wanted an FPGA accelerators in every machine

Mostly unrelated, but I recently discovered that you can buy TPUs, right now, as a consumer product, from https://coral.ai.

The stock firmware already allows you to run these things so hard they overheat, which is amazing.

But yes, I also want FPGA accelerators.
