Leopard CEO: People must marinate their faces to make them easier for us to eat.

If you think about it further, everything is fire.

Yeah, it’s almost as if it’s people who were the problem all along 😀

“Everyone here is so much nicer than on <insert massively popular mainstream platform here>”

Haha, it only hurt because it was true. Hopefully it’s performing much better now.

Huh, we’re a meme already. All publicity is good publicity I guess.

I’m seeing three from Lemmy.ml atm so it does look like federation has failed badly at some point. (Also using Liftoff for its great multi-account support)

Have a look at Liftoff app. It has the option to hide NSFW content behind a click-through warning.

Tildes is nice, just a bit quieter and fewer beans.

My god, what a weird experience that was.

I’ve been using old.reddit over the last couple of days to manage my bot as it shreds my old account histories, so to look at that interface without feeling sad is very unnerving.

Haha, Liftoff! to the rescue. Full usernames FTW

And to think we were all here for this glorious day. What a story to tell our children.

Way to get defederated, people 😩

Nice. I’ve seen more enjoyable stupidity here in six days than on mastodon in six months.

Yeah, this seems very unlikely to go anywhere other than in gaining media attention (which is a fair aim to have at this point).

They can, but that would be a) more work than just paying to use the API b) easy to spot and hamper if done at scale c) really difficult to explain to investors.

Again, if Reddit wants to kill third party apps, it just needs to turn off comments and votes through the API.

It wants to keep control of how people get access to its data. The recent massive surge of interest in A.I.s means that there’s a lot of people looking for good quality datasets to train new models. Reddit is sitting on a goldmine, and it currently handing out gold nuggets for free.

It wants to charge these desperate users of its data through the nose for that access, and $12,000 per 50M API calls is the market rate it has determined (and it is clearly comfortable that existing commercial users of its data such as marketers will also pay those rates).

The fact that this will kill third party clients is just the icing on the cake. If reddit wanted to kill such clients it would just turn off voting and comments in the API.

It would be really helpful there was a similar feature for stickied posts too 😒
