Saving money is my guess. Running it is costing more than it makes. Company shuts it down.

All legacy technical posts will remain available so that searching for help related to the browser is still available, but henceforth and until the reddit admins appropriately reply to our concerns, the only new submissions allowed will be ones that contain the cuddly fuzzy little animals from which the subreddit indirectly received its name:‌

The red panda! Also known as fire foxes. ‌

If you are looking for technical posts, we now have an official community on Kbin. Keep in mind that Lemmy also federates with Kbin. We continue to be around on Matrix as well.

Yay for Firefox!!

I’ve tried to like Mastodon, but each time I end up deleting my account in frustration, vowing never again. Mastodon is horrible to use, and they like it that way.

Only the bots knew of it.

They are not powerless. They have their own choice. Stop going there!

The masterclass link is blocked for me “unreviewed content” with a use the official app message.

As an old fart, Devuan is like debian of yesteryear. Debian without systemd.

Took a long time following links to find:

In order for off.guard to work properly make sure to activate push-notifications for this website in chrome settings and click activate notifications below. Then off.guard will take care of the rest.

So it’s using net access to push info out.

I gave up finding more. Lots of marketing buzz words and little technical details.

This will be saving you typing in +reddit +stackspace on searches. Still the same results.

Wish they’d include a -pinterest option.

My guess: It’s the kid dream: a flying car. But the reality, with regulations, bad drivers, limited landing points means it’s not seen as as money maker. More a rich persons toy. And few sales. Flying car = not a great car and a worse plane/helicopter.

TL;DW.

You got a summary?

Expect Reddit to get a lot worse. Glad I’m off it.

1. They want to keep you in their walled garden.
2. They will show you what can make them the most money as possible.
3. You are the product. What data can they extract from you as they are making money from you.

Corporations only care about what will drive their share price higher.

Probably why u/spez loves the Musk and is following the Twitter method to profitability.

Stuff that 2 or 3 days with no phone just to change a battery!

Plenty of phones were waterproof with removable batteries before a marketing campaign.

Near a billion active users per month, Reddit isn’t going to die. Doesn’t matter to me what other people do, I’ve left.

He’ll say whatever as CEO. “News organisations” will megaphone out what he says and that drown and dissenting voices.

That was my reaction too!
