Apple has never made a mouse that didn’t suck. Fight me.

(Their trackpads tho, glorious)

That’s so fucking clever.

I honestly can't believe he's being so egotistical about it. Insults mods as "landed gentry" and users' concerns as "noise" - those are literally the people that have created this "valuable dataset" he's coveting so greedily.

The only real problem with Reddit is Reddit Inc.

You're right, Lemmy/etc represent a great opportunity for the users and mods to regain control over the communities they build.

Thanks I've been trying to fill in those claims with links so this one is great :)

This appears at the top of the page until you dismiss it (at least for me): https://i.imgur.com/Uo3t2TI.jpg

Yesterday they were linking to some much more blatant propaganda, here's the link: https://www.redditinc.com/blog/apifacts

If it wasn't hurting them they wouldn't be doing damage control.

• Spez wouldn't be doing (awful) interviews (going so far as to praise Elon Musk)
• They wouldn't be publishing whitewashed versions of history
• They wouldn't be changing the rules to silence dissent
• They wouldn't be plotting to overthrow protesting mods to install compliant ones
• They wouldn't be lying about trying to work with devs
• They wouldn't be preventing people from deleting their old comments/posts
• They wouldn't be forcing subreddits to reopen
• They wouldn't be advertising on Facebook for new advertisers
• They wouldn't be trying to smear Apollo's developer
• They wouldn't be posting propaganda notices on new reddit's homepage
• They wouldn't be censoring discussion about alternatives like Lemmy and kbin

It's working, keep it up.

The only problem with using paths is the service might not support it (ie it might generate absolute URLs without the path in, rather than using relative URLs).

Subdomains is probably the cleanest way to go.

Oh shit I wanted to buy one of those when I have a kitchen big enough to accommodate it.

The thing that worries me is if they do manage to get through this without losing anything significant, it’s only going to give them confidence to go further. How long before old.reddit goes? NSFW content? Blocking users with adblockers?

I’m using the website still. I got Mlem going and it works, but I’m not a huge fan of the main feed being fully expanded. I assume it’ll get better as it gets worked on so I’ll keep an eye on it. But until then the website actually works pretty smoothly.
