It’s has been truly bizarre watching that country commit to communal suicide even as an American. You out Murica’d America.

The growth here is all that really matters. Anything else is irrelevant. People should focus more on the success of this community rather than the failure of another. If your mad at reddit and truly think others can do better elsewhere. Here is elsewhere let’s make it better.

most of what’s happening in todays world is not a W for capitalism. Modern conservative thoughts on capitalism have long abandoned the necessary regulation of free markets we enforced for 2 centuries. capitalism only works if markets continually divide winners at the top. If you don’t bust monopolies then capitalism begins to rapidly break down. We’ve known that for a long time and only recently stopped. You lose all the benefits of capitalism without that feature. What we have in America isn’t capitalism really at all anymore. This whole concept that the government has no role in capitalism and free markets will always correct themselves is a myth and we’ve known that since before America. John Locke knew that he was a tax collector for the english crown.

they won’t they don’t care to go anywhere near reality. It would never fit their perception of the world.

It may be more likely people just engage less with reddit by waiting until they are at a computer.

Not exactly what happened they made a bot that will take a limited set of commands but you not actually a mod. It’s more of a joke (obviously). All you can really do is lock and unlock and remove comments for people under a certain score

eh unfortunately I think he’ll be fine and so will reddit. The public has a tendency to forget these things pretty quick. Hasbro did things just a few short months ago many would have thought unthinkable or the end of them. But people just forgot and moved on.

Putin has maintained power by keeping a grip on the distribution of wealth to the oligarchs. If he starts taking money from them they will cease any support. They are the keys to his rule and if he doesn’t keep them fat and happy they no longer have a reason to continue to support and will turn on him.

I don’t know. So an important fact you have to consider is that we are only seeing evidence presented that was already cleared to be released. That’s why many think the indictment was brought immediately following the ISIS attack on Iran. There are likely many much worse documents he had in his possession but prosecution is prevented from showing it or using it as evidence so defense may not necessarily require clearance. Regardless federal courts have the ability to compel a lawyer to take on a case for clients who cannot otherwise hire representation. I imagine they could easily find a lawyer with proper clearance if it was necessary.

The statement from r/watchredditdie when they closed the sub really put things in perspective for me.

Steve Huffman and Alexis Ohanian have gone so far as to renege on their promise of listing Aaron Swartz among Reddit, Inc’s founders. Such an egregious breach of contract - only performed once their agreed-upon co-founder no longer walked the earth - could only be carried out by immoral individuals acting in fundamental bad faith. In this way and so many others, Reddit is dead.
