I used it a lot years ago, I can confirm it’s extremely easy, both using it an customizing it, I haven’t seen another editor making it so straightforward and easy to setup your own color coding for example (I used that a lot for dokuwiki pages), but I thought that project was abandoned at some point so I switched to codium.

I see by your post that it’s still being actively developed, I’ll give it another shot, thanks for sharing.

marketing team says that and worse behind closed doors

That’s my point, all companies driven by profit do that, we just don’t know.

Key word is “driven by profit”, not all companies are like that, there are also smaller companies that do care about their customers, but if they get big enough, or they get investors involved, they change for the worse.

And among the worse, some companies are smart and don’t disclose what they really think to the public, other are stupid like reddit and totally lose trust by showing their true colors.

written by dishonest people, for dishonest people, on how to manipulate the reddit userbase into buying your shitty products

Isn’t that what every profit-driven company does? I mean, it’s shitty, but I don’t think it’s something exclusive to reddit.

Never heard of it, but by the look it’s all PR bullshit, not uncommon for big companies to have websites like that.

Tho the presentation about trust is really interesting, probably the only serious thing in there, this is the book they took it from, there’s also a TED talk (6 years old).

It’s really sad to hear that, harassment is always despicable no matter how you look at it, some people just don’t get it unfortunately.

I mean, there was even a post on 3rdpartyapps inciting people to spam mods calling them cowards if they didn’t participate in the protest, how can they be so thick?

Anyway, I’m happy you found a better place to be :)

It’s true that not everyone has the chance to find another job when their current one is bad, but in general, keep in mind that when bad things go out to the public (like in reddit case), things inside the company are even worse.

I bet admins are venting among themselves even harder than what we do here, so I believe they wouldn’t be affected by “hanging out” here as much as you think.

I mean, noone is hating directly on them, we know they’re just following orders and that the culprit is the ceo.

True, but admins are just employees, it wouldn’t be a bad thing if, by reading here, they understood it’s time for them to find another job.

Some people just don’t care but there’s also a lot of propaganda to make protesters look bad, I don’t exclude there could be bots doing it.

The protest has been already very successful IMO, for once, we showed we can literally crash the entire platform just by flipping a switch.

Then there’s the significant drop in ad revenue as you said (there was a Verge article about it) and we probably also ruined the IPO (Reuters, I mean fuc*king REUTERS, said the IPO is premature and reddit should reconsider for the time being).

But the most important thing, the protest made people aware of valid alternatives, I didn’t know anything about the fediverse before the protest begun and now I’m happy to be here, many other people like me.

I think people saying the protest is not working are those hoping reddit changes, they’re being delusional, reddit won’t change, but even it they did change, I really can’t grasp how some people want to be treated like sh*it like reddit has done so far.

Reddit is being abusive towards their users and that alone should be more than enough a reason for moving out.

It’s also one of the very few that’s been pretty accurate about it, I’m impressed.

Terraria. It’s a sort of hybrid between a minecraft 2d and an action RPG, really fun game with lots of content.

You can play it as standalone or as co-op and the server component is included in the game for you to host it if you want.

Tho If by interesting you mean MMOs, there are emulators for a few of them, WoW is my favorite (TrinityCore, AzerothCore), but know that opening them up to public use is illegal (copyright violation).

Edit: added github links to wow emulators.

Good question, I never heard of it, but I checked it now, looks quite powerful, going to try it, thanks for sharing!

No problems for me, Firefox with uBlock origin.

It doesn’t matter IMO, it’s very smart and hilarious nonetheless, their post about it is a masterpiece.

I don’t know, but if that’s the case, reddit code is even more sh*tty than I thought, seems almost a miracle the platform can work at all lol.

Very few magazines unfortunately are accounting for the fact that everything mods are doing now was voted upon by the community, spez is spreading a lot of propaganda.

I too wish mods would quit moderating altogether, there were more than 20 thousands participating in the blackout, imagine how much it would cost reddit to replace even a small part of them.

Reddit further told PCMag: "It’s not OK to show people NSFW content when they don’t want to see it. In line with our Moderator Code of Conduct

Mods tagged subs NSFW before allowing people to spam porn, and reddit admins have been so stupid they turned subs back to SFW without removing porn first, so now anyone can see porn where they’re not supposed to.

Who’s breaking the code of conduct?

Spez later revealed an exciting new idea for a system where users will be able to vote moderators out of their positions and install new ones. This type of pure democracy on a site like reddit is bound to be wildly successful and incorruptible. But, there’s only one problem: At the pace it takes reddit to develop new mod tools and systems, it’ll be years before such a system is ready. That clearly will not do in a society built on instant gratification.

That is why the r/PoliticalHumor mod team would like to announce that starting today we are bringing pure democracy to the subreddit: All users are now mods, and as such, are part of the “Landed Gentry”. Welcome to the club.

That’s brilliant!! 1 million and 500 thousands users, hilarious.

I saw that video on YT a couple of days ago and I didn’t like it, it’s too extreme IMO and doesn’t really do justice to everything that’s happening.

I’m not a mod, just a user, but I used reddit for many years so there are a few things I can understand nonetheless.

First about the blackout: it’s true that only 2 days don’t do much but it was probably the only way to get such a massive participation, if it was indefinite from the start, it’s possible many big subs wouldn’t have joined, why I don’t know, but that’s how reddit works.

The blackout has been immensely useful nonetheless, it made many people aware of alternatives and it’s the reason why lemmy and kbin are growing so much. It also sent spez in panic mode, regardless of him swearing it was just a noise, we crashed the platform after all.

About subs reopening, it’s not all of them, the guy making the video cherrypicked probably the most pathetic post he could find about it and used it to categorize every other mod, that’s not the way to go IMO, they’re not all the same.

It’s possible that a few mods are making reddit their purpose in life, but most of them have a meaningful life, a full-time job, a family, and moderate on reddit on their free time because they enjoy a good community and exchange of knowledge, saying they’re all like losers in a basement is highly unfair because it’s not true.

There are still people on reddit fighting the good fight, it doesn’t mean they’re not planning to move away, several mods are making plans on discord AFAIK, and it takes time to organize a community, especially if big.

But the main thing the guy of the video is not getting, in my opinion, is that the purpose now is not to make reddit change their mind about the API, because they won’t, the purpose is to hit reddit in their wallet, damaging ad revenues and possibly the IPO, those still protesting on reddit are doing this exceptionally well.

They should tell this story to news oultlets, I bet many of them would be happy to publish it, The Verge comes to mind, they’ve been pretty accurate so far in covering the protest.
