This was inevitable, unfortunately.
Can't say i didn't expect this.
Hey. Will you look at that. Any interest in reddit just disappeared. Gg spez.
fuck reddit, all thanks to spez and reddit admins
Sad to see all of this happening
I called it, had a feeling they would lol
It was only a matter of time...
And of course the obligatory eff spez.
OMG Who saw that coming! /s
What a DICK.
Completely expected tbh
Off topic, who owns/runs the servers here and how does it make money? I'm new I'm curious.
I asked about this.
Around ~180 euros a month for the server they were renting to run this Lemmy instance. Anybody can host though and any member of a Lemmy can see content and interconnect with other instances.
I was looking into potentially hosting my own Lemmy for my friends and I because the cost would be more manageable.
I'd imagine if people started doing that it would decentralize the costs and the administrative overhead.

similar to old usenet and fidonet, volunteers, there have always been people happy to help run hardware and help make the commons a thing. people were lured away from the gardens and parks by digital theme parks and shopping malls, where the users become customers.
people wonder "how can it possibly work"
email works great! same concept.

Biggie knew. Treat everything like itβs your first day because nothing is guaranteed.
Are Reddit admins the sub owners or Reddit employees?
Admins are employees. The people running the subs are mods. There aren't even 1% of enough admins to moderate the subreddits, but there are enough to police the moderation stances of the large subs.

This is downright terrifying. A major escalation of the blackout and deleting your content - with the help of european law - is a nice response to that, if they do not step back. This is perhaps the most extreme measure to be taken, short of destroying the data center itself. An emptied reddit history is a massive loss of knowledge and perhaps questionably damaging for the outside world.
I am on the never going back path at this point, Im not even sure Ill be reopening the sub with links point back here, that still gives them value.

"Memes are good formats for taking complex ideas, then condensing them into something that is easy to digest and distribute"
Wow... that guy actually thinks that you can use advice animals to convey complex ideas. I'm at a loss for words.
I wonder what will happen to the subreddits that had voted to black out for the week from the get- go?
