Used to be “Squabbles”. It, Lemmy, and Discuit were three of the major Reddit alternatives thrown around during the Reddit protests.

The only way I can see to do it is either stripping long-standing free functionality from other users, or making it completely pointless.

r/place was special enough to me that it was the only reason I stopped at deleting my content, instead of full-on deleting my account.

It just feels so hollow this year. Not sure if its all the anger, the clear repetition for corporate motives, or both.

Notably, the blobs all appear at seemingly the exact same time. Just… plonk, a random patch of noise on the art.

I might could live with repetitive if it wasn’t for the anger. I’ve got a 2’x2’ print of 2022’s canvas sitting next to my desk, and I still get lost in it every now and then. Just another trip exploring a new canvas could be fun.

But then I open the page and 15% of it is just “fuck spez” and everyone is angry. Rightfully so, but… I just don’t feel it anymore.

I think it felt fine in 2022, the five year gap was long enough. But this year… it just feels hollow to me. Can’t tell if that’s from repetition or just me being burnt out on Reddit, or both.

So Reddit is going to go from letting users pay them to put lil .gifs on a post and letting a user see more comments at once, to paying users for their content.

Yeah that sounds like it’ll really increase profit, I can’t see any way that math doesn’t check out /s.

I have noticed more and more [deleted] messages in older threads lately. I was trying to do some Rimworld modding, and the threads relevant to my questions were 1-5 years old, ~20 upvotes, and 2-3 positively voted top level comments. Almost all of them had a [deleted] comment.

I get advocacy and I think this is a major point in the API changes, but the blind community deserves better than to just be ammo for this fight.

Double check your profile languages are set properly. Almost every community off .world looked dead to me at first, but then I realized it was filtering every post flagged with a language I didn’t have and .world doesn’t give you English by default.

The communities are still tiny, but it was a major help.

You can search by community, even from other instances!

This was so bad it actually prompted modders to backport all of the 1.19 features to 1.18.

This has been a thing for every major modern version. Its faster for a single enterprising dev to backport things than for the entire mod scene to update to a new version. I distinctly remember playing Blackgear’s Caves and Cliffs Backport on 1.16.

There are, however, Forge/Fabric mods that completely remove the reporting system.
