Hard disagree.

Tiktok is popular. Its hold very little value to lots of people though. Same thing with twitter.

For me, reddits value was from its popularity amongst a certain demographic, which was largely the techies. At this point enough techies have come over to the fediverse that so far its meeting or exceeding the reddit itch.

Id rather a community of 10,000 people who are mostly tech driven than a community of 10,000,000 with 10,000 techy types. Popular reddit posts had thousands of the same played out comments and comment chains languishing at the bottom of threads. Popular threads on the fediverse so far have people engaging in conversation without a collapsed thread of 4000 ignored posts at the bottom.

Popularity means nothing when its mostly people with nothing worthwhile to say except the same played out jokes and memes

Posts do get pushed through, its just been a period of heavily increased traffic the last week or so, and many instances have had to tame measures to stay online at all, which in many cases has broken or slowed down the propagation.

These are issues that will be resolved in time

Typing "DESTROY" into the title screen unlocked like an entire new game with multiplayer and everything.

In fact the multiplayer in that game was great in general. One player on keyboard the other on mouse, and you could dock ships and have one steering while the other shot.

Excellent game, not just for its time

They were struggling with moderation, and a disproportionate number of people they were addressing were coming from those two instances, which happen to have open registration.

Not sure I agree or not, but thats what they said

Is it our property though?

Intellectually speaking yes, but legally speaking? Probably not. Chances are if its stored on their servers, it belongs to them.

Emojis have a long history on the internet. It doesnt seem so long ago that every forum post ended with some form of 😎

I think most people dont mint them, its just when they real obnoxious obviosuly troll levels with 15 in a row mid sentence

People might find this link handy. It shows a list of the subs that have committed to the blackout and shows when they have gone private

Would be sorted out in minutes.
Everything posted/done on reddit is stored. If a mod/mod team goes rogue reddit removes the mods and hits the big "go back an hour" button, installs some new mods and most people wouldn't even know something happened

I think the fracturing of communities will sort itself out with time.
Even within reddit there has always been multiple communities per niche before one floats to the top.
I think the main issue with that is reducing the barrier between instances so that its easier for people to find the large communities
