You also can’t sell it, and thus also can’t buy it used. This is the final move to end the used market for console games.

Just from the look of it, Thunder seemed very RIF-like. Last I saw TalkLittle was making an app for Tildes, no indication that he’s working on a Lemmy app sadly.

My parents were alive and in schools when segregation in education was ending. Decades of Jim Crow laws holding people down isn’t simply remedied by saying “We’re all equal now.” and doing nothing to redress the damage inflicted through the abuse of governmental power. Especially not when “We’re all equal now.” is largely lip service and systemic racism is still prevalent.

Oof, and that’s their valuation as of May 31. So that includes nothing that’s happened since showing even more what a clusterfuck of an investment Reddit is.

Yeah since interest rates are high they actually want returns on their investments.

They were purchased by Snapchat last year. So this is probably Snapchat seeing it as only a cost center with no return. Which tbh, it probably is.

Typically the tech bro billionaires buying those tend to fall into the realm of people who expect to be unquestioned dictators of their own little fiefdoms in a post-apocalyose scenario. To the point of shock collars to keep other people in line, etc.

Like /u/spez.

Good on the developers/maintainers. Why develop a moderation tool without payment for a platform that considers you a leech?

IIRC some of the employees who still have company-owned computers, etc have tried numerous times to return them with no response from Twitter. Like you said probably because those people were fired as well.

The API for Reddit was free. I think for sites like Imgur, Redgifs, etc they paid some pretty reasonable fees. It’s worth noting that many of them had revenue sharing agreements and trademark licenses with Reddit that were terminated after spez became CEO.
