The whole premise of asking basic questions is flawed. A wiki is perfect for answering 95% of peoples questions, so do that instead.
Discussion forums are great for complex, esoteric issues. But few people have those. Most have basic questions, so if you want bland content for the sake of it then go right ahead. Bye bye signal to noise.
Impaired is impaired. Shouldn’t drive if your ability is compromised, especially when most people only start off with half a clue.
Coffee is also dangerous in the sense that it masks the sensation of fatigue, but you are still impaired. Driving tired is extremely dangerous as well.
IMAP supports TLS, what’s Proton’s excuse for enforcing their own delivery protocol?
Kbin was trivial to figure out. Mastodon I still struggle with a bit.
There are those of us who used to be tech-savvy “back in the day” that don’t handle change either quickly or well.
I feel personally attacked, lol.
The problem I find with the technologically illiterate is that they immediately blurt out what’s on their mind. They ask the same fucking questions over and over, without searching first. The signal to noise ratio drops way down and every day is the same shit.
I am more than happy to interact with people of all walks of life but the internet is very “Groundhog Day” compared with when techies were the only ones on here. I’m not sure what the solution is that gives us perpetual cake.
They won’t in the short term.
In the long run they’ll hopefully go the way of myspace/digg.
It takes a long time for a juggernaut to die. They can circle the drain for years
Don’t know don’t care, I haven’t been back since the bullshit started.
One does not simply unjump the shark
This is just a standard “clearing house” measure. Remove the dissidents, ignore the howls of complaint… surround yourselves with “yes men” and then you are set
That makes two of us!
Kbin is to reddit as mastodon is to twitter, IMO.
Great article and demonstrates why we should not care about the demise of reddit. There is no clear date when the giant has been slain. It will simply attrit away over time if we all move on to the next thing, which is happening. Look forwards, not backwards, and enjoy the fediverse
The whole problem with reddit (aside from the people who run it) is the amount of negative energy that comes out there. If that’s all you have, wonderful, unleash it there… it will help to hasten the end. But in trying to celebrate the death of one thing, you’ll miss opportunities for spreading good vibes here and enjoying the birth of something new. It’s a buzzkill to have a new community sprout up and have everyone obsessed with killing the old one. Think about the type of energy you give to the world, you will get the same in return.
Battery lifetimes are specced as 80% capacity remaining. So a 300 mile range becomes 240 miles. Still highly usable.
