The article suggested it was a bug, not me. My use of it was only in reference to the article so it’s not a point I’m going to defend.

I agree. There’s also just no reason to give Meta the benefit of the doubt here. Bug or not they’ve done nothing to earn such a charitable response from anyone.

They also can’t afford any bad press right now. They already pushed back the IPO by months due to the fall out from killing 3rd party apps so it’d be a really stupid move to ban WSB now. The time to do it was nine months ago when it wouldn’t have mattered because they were already up to their necks in bad press. It’s not like they haven’t been aware that WSB’s would try to fuck with their IPO this whole time.

Not reading articles and just commenting on the headline. It’s extremely disappointing that habit carried over from reddit.

The article in the reddit post you shared is misleading. According to the S1 filed with the SEC, spez’s current base pay is $450,000; in 2023 he got roughly $792,000 in performance-based bonuses. The rest of that 193 million is options.

Yeah, I saw that article too but it’s misleading. According to the S1 filed with the SEC, spez’s current base pay is $450,000; in 2023 he received about $792,000 in performance-based cash bonus. The rest of that 193 million is options. It’s not the reason reddit isn’t profitable.

lol reddit’s automated AEO is already notoriously dogshit, trying to replace human moderation with AI would be a fucking disaster. So I say do it spez. I double dare you!

One fine day with a woof and a purr
A baby was born and it caused a little stir
No blue buzzard, no three-eyed frog
Just a feline canine little CatDog

CatDog, CatDog, alone in the world is a little CatDog!

Out on the road or back in town
All kinda critters putting CatDog down
Gotta rise above it gotta try to get along
Gotta walk together gotta sing this song

CatDog, CatDog, alone in the world is a little CatDog!

Oh awesome, glad to hear it’s already in the works! I do hope it gets prioritized though. User privacy and security is important.

Made sure that blocking an instance also hides private messages from their users, to prevent harassment.

How about the ability to disable PMs entirely? (With exceptions for local instance admins)

I can assure you, there will never be a scenario where I welcome an unsolicited PM from another user.

Well, no answer that these guys want to hear.

Spot on, this applies to so many other paranormal events too. Some people refuse to believe that their favorite “mysteries” were never really all that mysterious to begin with. Nor are they willing to accept explanations they view as being too mundane. At a certain point they’ve sunk so much time and become too emotionally invested in the legend to accept anything but the most wild and grand explanations.

Dyatlov Pass is a great example of this. The avalanche theory was always the most likely explanation but without question the least exotic. But it also applies to things like the Patterson-Gimlin Bigfoot film, the 1934 Loch Ness monster photo, the Amityville/DeFeo murders, and conspiracy theories surrounding damn near every modern political assassination since Lincoln.
