Reddit and Twitter embraced third party clients because it saved them the early cost of doing it themselves and provided extra avenues and incentives for power users to create content and moderators to cultivate communities. Both benefit the platform and in the end revenues.

Social media platforms are almost always generous in allowing for tools and third party clients that result in new content being created. What they restrict is the same sort of thing for the passive viewing side.

Reddit and Twitter were always unusual in that there’s such a 50/50 split between posting and consuming, and power users valued being able to curate their reading experience as well as the tools they had to post with. Most of Twitter’s core feature set came from power user features invented in third party apps, including retweeting. But as the apps became more popular they also took away a larger proportion of passive eyeballs for advertisers. A balance of some sort was needed, and I think both Twitter and Reddit have gone the wrong way.

Facebook is different to those two in that it always had the benefit of exploiting your existing in person social graph and growing outward from there, meaning it had different drivers and incentives for frequent posting.
As is pilot suicide. There's a list of them as well:

Moderation was never solved.

To name just two issues: It doesn't scale without paying a lot of people, and deciding what to moderate precisely, reproducibly, and fairly is a major unresolved issue.

How can you look at twitter and facebook and make a statement like that?
The food at Japanese convenience stores is pre-packaged too - it's just much better quality.
Honestly good riddance to most of the mainstream subreddits with powertripping mods. The same people have been moderating for free (because they are power-addicted) for more than decade and this is a good opportunity to start new subreddits.

Could it be that reddit actually wants the 'strike' to shake up the stagnant subreddit/moderation situation which hasnt changed for so long? If any of you is starting new subs, please post them here. It's more likely they will be better than the tired old ones

This is one of the dumbest reddit protests and that s a high bar to cross

Personally I think what's great about running is that it's also addictive, and so the same personality quirks that make you susceptible to other addictions, at least in my case, make you susceptible to becoming a regular runner.
Sure, they're far from perfect. I don't mind if build a nice big contingency fund or even become personally wealthy -- but I think it makes a difference that greed isn't the central organizing principle.
It's $157 now directly from their site -- $209 with a 25% off promo code.

Still way more than $60 but more reasonable for what you get. It's basically a $60 sensor that costs more because of WiFi and phone integration.

I very much doubt this is a deep fake, because he's said similar things in several of his recent talks that I've listened to on youtube.
> As we currently understand it, on Mastodon, you only see content when there is an explicit follow relationship between accounts and servers, and follows require mutual consent.

You can't even create a mastodon test account to test (and disprove) this theory?
The 256s are also slower than the 512s, IIRC.
US solar market expected to triple in size by 2028
That’s not exactly what it means, it’s a blended percentage of both the chance of any rain in an area multiplied by the coverage of that rain over the affected area. So a 50% chance it will rain somewhere, and if it rains it might rain in 50% of the area, would result in a 25% overall chance of rain. See https://www.weather.gov/media/pah/WeatherEducation/pop.pdf
> Investment in Russia post-USSR collapse to replicate what happened in Germany after WWII.

Allied powers occupied Germany which made sure that Germany won't simply use that money to re-arm for the next war. No control like that existed for Russia.

> Not expanding NATO towards Moscow in the 1990s-2010s

That amounts to letting Russia recollect its empire piece by piece. The idea that Russia would just like that lose its imperialism, if only we were nicer to them, is naive.

Even then, why should we assume that letting Russia recollect its empire would Russia make a West's friend? That's basically cold war 2.0.

> The US not adopting a policy of prolonging the war in Ukraine to bleed out the Russian military.

I guess we all wish Ukraine/US/West could expulse Russia out of Ukraine outright, but that does not seem possible. I don't think US is prolonging the war intentionally, but simply because of real constraints.
If you install Home Assistant (HAOS or Supervised) on something then ESPHome is a one click install with a web GUI. There's an OVA for HAOS as well as all the usual suspects - amd_64, RPi and more.

If you don't want all that stuff then do it from the command prompt, most Linux distros have it in the package manager and no doubt Mac n that have easy to install options.
Mandating pronouns is absurd and stupid and its advocates resort to censorship by any means necessary to stifle reasonable discussion.

These are evil people and they deserve everyone's maximum contempt.

The good news is everyone can move the needle on this! It's clear in the comment section sees just how pathetic and fragile these ideas really are when put under the microscope.
I've come to associate online platforms marketing themselves as free speech havens as being extremely far right ideologically. Are there any examples of non-censored media that either doesn't cover politics or covers the entire spectrum?
Which is somewhat ironic seeing that the reason for everyone abandoning reddit is that they're being assholes to devs using their APIs.
With this model someone just develops a website that passively collects usernames, performs the calculation, and maps usernames to hashed values.

> wouldn't HN be in the prime position to take over?

I really hope not. It would be the eternal September for HN.
My point was even given an alternative, most users agree with and support the censorship.

This in effect discredits almost any alternative by the user base itself, thus giving Reddit control.

Steve Jobs on Facebook (2011)
Learning French might be worthwhile since there are quite a few speakers on the planet. Although English, Chinese or Spanish are preferable in that respect.

Polish, Chech and Dutch are a waste of time, they aren't spoken anywhere but their origin regions and those are rather small to begin with...
Security is a process, not a deliverable in the digital world.

You cannot ask domestic users to deal with a firewall. It's beyond them, this is quite unreasonable actually. Most people don't even know what is a firewall.

We are talking about a digital freedom space which has to be protected by digital police or we'll end up with digital arnachy and in the filthy hands of the digital mafia which is big tech (seems to be already the case though). The other way around is digital dictatorship, which is no better.

And as I said, it is much better to go p2p and federated than to be jailed in big tech centralized services.

But I don't see big tech to let that happen, they'll probably hire some hackers in order to sabotage it. firewalls would actually serve them well: anything beyond centralized services would be "blocked". As I said, convenient, very convenient... way too much actually.

In my country tens of millions of people have IPv6, not to mention that gateway UPNP for IPv4 is almost everywhere too, then ten of millions of people have been "following my example" for years. Of course, without an efficient digital police, this will turn to an omega sh*t show.

People who work for centralized services which could be threaten by p2p protocols are more likely to try to scare away people from them.
People who can afford starlink have a huge advantage
I did not know Takes, and I'll definitely have a closer look. Thanks a lot!
In the northeastern USA we had Wawa for a long time which made good food fresh on site. There was absolutely nothing wrong with the employees who prepared it, they're not any worse than someone from Subway or a local gas station chain making a sub. Something happened that was probably cost-cutting and now it's all prepackaged and horrible. I stopped going. Enshittification but for convenience stores?
I said that it was free speech relative to Reddit. Not that it's outright free speech. I have a personal misskey instance for that.
True, but at least dssim is not the worst one to use.

Bizzarre stance. Being at a healthy weight is obviously an enormous issue, obesity is very dangerous. There is an entire industry trying or pretending to try to help people.

Blatantly false. Clearly an enormous amount of people are unhappy with the condition of their body.

I quit smoking well over a decade ago. It was very hard.

I use the crass metaphor of a gorgeous ex-girlfriend who is terrible for you and you know it, as a way to describe the mindset I came to with the difficulty of quitting. The idea being, when you’re lonely, you know you could call her up and she would come over and you’d get what felt good, but not what you wanted. Only when you get to the point where you know it’s a waste of time can you quit. That took me years.
It's even worse for Tesla if you normalize the data, because the rest of the industry also has advanced driving functionality with far fewer accidents or deaths.

It turns out that one of the things that radar is good for is emergency braking regardless of lighting conditions.

It also helps that other carmakers don't oversell the functionality of their advanced driving functionality; if anything they deliberately understate how well the systems work to avoid giving customers the false sense of safety that Tesla does.
The Fediverse currently has popcon features built in as well, namely, the number of likes and boosts of a given post, as collected by the home server of the post. The home server is the one that does not count interactions from blocked accounts, so a local-only view filter that only the home server knows of is enough to solve this as well.

Maybe there will be a build for the Commander X16 computer ?

The "8-Bit Guy’s dream computer"...
Indeed I am. It's not an AI topic, so a comment of the "use an LLM for this" variety is no more enlightening than a "here's how blockchain can help" comment on a non-blockchain topic was 5 years ago.
Yes. The encoding/encoder tuple is part of the definition of K complexity. Sipser gives a lucid explanation in his textbook and I highly recommend it.
Hm, if you zoom in you can clearly see the difference between jxl and avif. The problem is rather the inconsistency of the results.

For instance, at medium quality Jxl seems to be better at preserving fine details and structure like the mark on the door, the traces on the lower part of the bridge, but avif appears to be better at preserving clarity of complex details, like far-away windows, cars, a tennis racket.
And helpful that it's hosted on GitHub. PRC can't block Github on a strategic level. So content can be hosted there that gets through the GFW that PRC netizens can see.
An enthusiast community can self-sustain basically indefinitely on things like premium-supporter subscriptions, the occasional fundraising pitch, and well-targeted advertising. But it will never be more of a revenue generator than "it keeps the servers running and finances a couple of volunteer moderators doing some logo swag giveaways once a year."

I'd expect that in a targeted community, though, the "drive-by" users are a lot lighter of a burden. You get the search spiders swooping in and archiving everything, but by and large, even the most passionate lurker on, say, VCFed or Audiokarma, is not going to be generating thousands of pageviews and complex queries a day. They might browse a few dozen pages to figure out exactly how to fix their doohickey and move on with their life. Maybe they eventually convert and become a content contributor.

Conversely, when it becomes a sOcIaL pLaTfOrM, you intentionally are trying to corral many more low-engagement users. Notice the key metric is always Daily/Monthly Active Users, not any form of "Quality Participant". So they're eager to have as many people scrolling their site 24 hours a day as possible, even if they're adding no real value. This spikes your infrastructure cost without creating users who are necessarily connected enough to contribute back, whether with direct payment or content.

I also suspect that the "social platform" tends to have a different economic drive than the enthusiast community. Nobody really says "I want to build a community for ALL THE THINGS" unless they have some grand vision of going public, grand monetization, or becoming some sort of new-media titan. They're going to be much more finicky when these dreams aren't met.

Have the makers of the 3rd party clients considered creating a reddit clone?

Technically that’s not too hard. Moreover, these clients have a large user base. Some even have revenue. I guess the most tricky part is content moderation.

Has this been discussed or proposed anywhere?
How Apple Can Bring Down the Price of Apple Vision Headset From $3,500
I use to be a reddit power user, but my relationship with the platform has been extremely casual (less than 5 hours/yr) for the last 10 years. Even after all this time, Reddit could win me back as a power user if the platform was better.
A simple pir sensor just has a digital out that is either high or low. That is supported as a digital in sensor. Only for devices with a more complicated protocol (mostly i2c, spi and uart) you need a special sensor specific integration
There's no real community though.

I have 12 y/o account with over 15K post karma and 35K comment karma and I don't care the slightest. The place has grown too big to feel like a community, if anything, I'm worried that r/StableDiffusion might go away because there are is so much chronological high quality content of the development of stable diffusion.

I tracked down my first comment about how "reddit is dead", it's from 11 years ago. Apart from some smaller subs, for me reddit has become a content stream not that different from Twitter or TikTok.

I will be sad to see some niche subs go but maybe that's the plan, after all, they are going after the mainstream. There's probably not much money in monetising some nerds.
If the original Reddit popped up today it would be rejected by most users for allowing certain content, and rejected by all marketplace stores for the same thing.

This in turn gives Reddit much more control and a very powerful moat.
I use Dialyzer on all side projects and it always works. However, I enforce via Credo that everything gets a typespec, and I employ type-driven design.

Dialyzer and Credo for Phoenix does require some workarounds, as that project isn't interested in providing typespecs or base compliance with Credo and is very heavy on macros.

How can I drive change and influence teams without power?
It's not always so capital intensive anymore to make things free, there are technical advancements that make that easier these days so I believe there is edge to be found. In particular I'm exploring offline-first apps in addition to decentralization/self hosting, because offline-oriented apps help avoid expensive servers. Users like the privacy benefits and I enjoy the benefits of minimizing UGC custody.
Your comments reminds me of the metaphor of boiling a frog.

Twitters users, the advertisers, have noticed. Thus the revenue decrease. Twitter's product, sets of eyeballs, are still around (despite being compositionally a different population, mostly).
If they do it for more than 2 days , other subs will spring up

Do people forget that making a subreddit is free?
Additionally I'll point out that people who search reddit like that are some of the most valuable visitors on ads-based platform, as many of them are looking for shopping advice.
All the "ai fairness" bullshit it pretty rich when you consider how it's main use case is to abuse people who are desperate enough to put up with these automated interactions. All the talk about responsible AI and whatnot and how it affects various favored demographics is just a smoke screen for how it's really being used to treat people like crap.

That’s interesting, I’ve been on vyvanse for five years now and never felt any of the telltale signs of dependency (which I am familiar with). I had to stop taking it for a month once and it just made me very drowsy for a week.
reddit is not a community. The subreddits are the community. I don't care about reddit as a whole but there are individual subreddits that if they change or go away then I no longer have a reason to use reddit.
probably something something Debian. I don't even get it, there's no reason not to just adopt v3. There was one reason, for a short while, that certain hosts might have wanted to stick with v2, but that hasn't been the case for 2+ years now. There are v3 vanity generators, v2 urls are still too long to memorize anyway. Sorry, but this just feels like another user being stubborn about change, ignoring that that change happened for a reason. See also: Wayland.
An enormous amount of people are unhappy =/= an enormous amount of people actually want to change things. People know what they need to do if they want to lose weight, they just don't do it because it's not a priority.

Almost the entire weight loss industry is basically a scam, just like get rich quick schemes.

Or quitting smoking. Once you see yourself as not being a smoker, forever, that's 90% of the battle.
I wonder why they even bothered. Only their client-side "mute" feature actually works in the presence of rogue federated servers, and it only takes one person to set up such an instance. It seems like both the federation design and the decision to be public-only fundamentally can't support blocks like this, and they just slammed it in there anyway and hoped for the best. The part that doesn't work is like 99% of the effort they expended here; the client-side mute is trivial and the only part that does always work.
Ask HN: How can I get FB account back? Hacked

Wtf? Don't they have businesses and other people using that internet access they are cutting? How do they get away with that?
That's fair. It does seem like no one else on the planet still uses multi-process architecture, that the performance has never been there.

This was the famous evolution of Apache Httpd 1 being a forking multi-process model, and in v2 gaining a new pluggable strategy system, including thread pooled models. For great scalability wins. https://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/mod/worker.html

Context switching between processes is just such a taxing thing to do. So many caches to reset. Especially with all the mitigations most folks run, it's such a drain.
Nonsense. The API had clear terms of service that allowed for third party clients, and Reddit explicitly promoted and supported them in the past. The current Reddit app was even built on one such app (Alien Blue) that Reddit acquired.

For a platform hosting user generated content and with volunteer moderation having third party clients is usually a net positive despite the small loss in advertising revenue, purely because they have a very positive impact on content creation and curation. That keeps passive users coming to the site so they can be advertised to.

At some point after a platform matures there needs to be some additional monetisation of third party clients, especially as they begin to capture a larger share of users. It doesn’t have to result in the clients being killed off entirely.

Reddit is nothing without people voluntarily adding content to the site and good moderators voluntarily running subreddits. That’s especially true for special interest and high quality subs like AskHistorians.
> "I am so angry, so infuriated that you're abusing me, that ..... I WILL... leave for 3 days and then come back for the rest of my life".

"for the rest of my life" is a big assumption. This strike could/should be the first in a series of escalating strikes. If parties truly seek change, and not just punishment, it is tactically unwise for one's first response to be maximum retaliation.

Yeah I love this line of argument from the Tesla cult: “But wait people use their Tesla autonomous features more frequently [in conditions the system doesn’t operate well in].”

Like… yeah, that’s called an unsafe system my dude.
your block list has to be enforced at some point in the chain

enforcement means it needs to be read-able by the relevant software

"optionally" public means that software that can't see the block list can't enforce it

and that means the only way to enforce the block list (reliably) is in your client (which presumably always had read permissions)

this is in no way controversial
