Flipboard was neat originally, but never really held my attention.

Yeeeeeesh. I am all for pivoting, and being flexible. But as some point, rebrand if you’re going to keep changing, Flipboard.

It’s been 15 years, and umpteen changes in intent and medium. They must have been granted a specific patent they are trying to lever or nest upon.

To me pebble is still the startup that made a watch.

Good for Mastodon.

These all sounds like really good changes. I’m excited about them finally revamping search, because a lot of folks never really adopted using hashtags.

Why is this tagged as being written in Japanese?

@stopthatgirl7@kbin.social avatar

Because my phone’s in Japanese and I forgot to switch the language when I was posting.

ModernRisk , to RedditMigration in Reddit’s menswear hub is the latest casualty of its battle with moderators | TechCrunch

Reddit May have won?

I’m willing to debate that. I still think majority of the people who provide actual information, memes and helps are gone to other platforms (such as Lemmy).

Most of Reddit’s stuff are quite much just reposts of old stuff. Only ones that have newer content are the niche* subreddits or the very specific subreddits to one thing.

Reddit may have won...

Now let's outline how they really lost in the rest of the article.

Reddit is doing the mod swapping in a creepy way. First the community is banned, then it comes back under new management by corpo drones

CIWS-30 ,

I don't see how this works in the long run, if they have to put paid corporate drones in charge of moderation. Wasn't the entire point of Reddit that they don't have to pay moderators?

This kind of strategy is lose / lose. If spez want an IPO, well this kind of crap is tanking that IPO.

The "corpo drones" in this case are people willing to follow the directions from Reddit/Advance Media, but not get paid.

This is a terrible plan and it's failing as expected

de-integro-initium , to RedditMigration in Reddit braces for life after API changes

Reddit, reddit is on fire we don’t need no water, let that mother fucker burn, burn mother fucker. Now when we came out, we told you it was just about 3pa bad treatments, Then spez had to send internal letter with his motherfuckin' opinion about how futile the blackout is. Well this is how we gon' do this
Fuck spez, fuck reddit admins
Fuck any mods that are not protesting ,
And if you want to be down with reddit API decision , then fuck you too.

Got_Bent , to RedditMigration in Reddit braces for life after API changes

I think what pisses me off the most is that no matter what happens, Spez will somehow walk away with enough of that sweet, sweet CEO money to fund my life several generations over and will probably get another sweet, sweet CEO position somewhere else to destroy another company because he’s got “experience”.
