I definitely recommend Dracula — not only is it good, but it’s also the prototype for basically every subsequent vampire book/movie:
When there’s a subreddit about something you’re interested in, but it’s run by mods who enforce a extensive collection of esoteric posting rules.
We’re sorry, but you’ve posted about Topic C on a Wednesday, which is strictly prohibited. Discussion of Topic C is only allowed in the megathread which is only open for comments on the first Saturday of odd numbered months. Didn’t you read our rules?
Completely agree on all points.
An additional one I’d argue is a huge part of HN’s success is their employment of a full-time moderator, dang, who does a great job.
I still haven’t quite forgiven Google for abandoning owners of the Nexus 5X the second the Pixel came out…
If Lemmy ends up with enough interesting content that it supplants Reddit as a source for vapid YouTube channels’ content, I see that as a win for Lemmy.
I’d argue it is, because of the damage they’re doing to their brand.
I’ve said it in a couple other threads, but Reddit has other ways they can monetize their 3rd party app users, such as requiring subscriptions to use third party apps, or even by simply giving third party app devs a longer lead time to change to a paid model. Instead of doing either of those things, the CEO had a tantrum and alienated a bunch of people.
Exactly – this is almost certainly bad for Reddit’s business at this point. The problem here isn’t necessarily capitalism so much as it is a egocentric CEO gone mad with power.
That’s definitely on my Lemmy wishlist – some way to create merged communities. As it is now, there’s too much potential for fragmentation across instances.
As of now, I just subscribe to whichever instance’s community is the most active / has the most subscribers, which feels sub-optimal.
In short, open source APIs for everything.
