It's OP's content that they licensed to Reddit under the terms of their TOS. I'm curious if the generic "we have the right to do anything we want with your content" variation on most social media sites' TOS has really been challenged legally? To an extent it's fair use, but it can also be seen as a privacy overreach depending on the content that was deleted.

Don't have an answer, but I can also say that I also was retaliated against for criticizing Reddit. They suspended an account with 5000 coins for no apparent reason, and then IP banned me for bringing attention to that to an admin with another account.

They can do whatever they want on their platform (including what would arguably be considered abusive), and we can continue to bring attention to their mistreatment of us outside it.

Well, the protests managed to get spez to shove his foot in his mouth over and over. It may not have made a change for Reddit users, but it certainly gave many people a clear red flag signal to avoid Reddit.

This is definitely apples and oranges. The only product comparable to Reddit was Google+. I think people like to blame Google search for why people append Reddit to search strings, but that has a lot more to do with how Reddit has consumed so many independent forums that used to self-host.

Seriously though, it's a major city with too much single unit family housing. The fact tech exists there is more of an anomaly at this point, our democracy continues to fail us.

A marketing demographic having less sex does not equate to them being less rapey. It just means they're having less sex.

> Neither Google nor the handset vendors nor the carriers give a shit about UX, they've structured things so that you're kind of forced to go with them anyway.

Carriers don't really contribute much to the UI or force you to use a particular phone. This comment doesn't make any sense.

All of my Reddit accounts were banned along with my IP and browser fingerprint after calling out an employee's abuse of shadow banning for simply tagging their username in a comment. The Reddit employee discovered my post 6 months later because I linked to it on my profile and now I have no way to use Reddit without a VPN, and I lost my ability to really consume their service the way I used to.

Reddit just does not respect their users anymore. Their content policy is enforced erratically at the whim of whatever current internal political environment is going on inside their company. I gave this company subscription money for years, purchased hundreds of dollars in rewards, and it absolutely meant nothing because of one employee wanting to cover their tracks.

Mods can set the subreddit to private.

We need a font for passive aggressive HN submissions as well.

If all your research can be handled by whatever Open AI trained ChatGPT on, sure.

The original comment was talking about unions destroying things, so yes it was an anti-union talking point, the bias was clear.

What specific examples are there of unions resulting in outsourced labor? This wreaks of the same talking points most anti-union propaganda consists of.

How exactly would unions destroy anything? Outsourcing has nothing to do with unions.

I browse it on Teddit, which I suspect won't be for too much longer. Reddit took their success and got complacent with VC money, and the end users have to pay for it in the form of erratic policy change.

I was new to it though, and an admin picked on me because I was parodying another subreddit (my home city subreddit). You've been modding for a decade, great. That basically backs up my original point that it's a party of tenure and closed-mindedness (cronyism). My situation was different, and it's pointless to argue, but if you trust any company (especially in a changing economic environment), keep your eyes open for poorly motivated incentives.

Regardless, the attitude that they're "god" is a weird way to put it. They randomly IP banned me for calling out an admin's publicity issue during an April fools event. That's cronyism. I've used Reddit for 12 years and engaged in conversations in good faith for years. Paid for subscriptions most of that time. All relationships, business or otherwise should be mutual in some form.

Most users don't interact with Reddit employees, but the moderators that maintain most of the communities you enjoy do. That's how I ended up interacting with them. Shortly after the IPO rumors, my community started being harassed by an admin through modmail.

There's a lot of people in this thread defending Reddit and they don't seem to have ever had the pleasure of dealing with an actual Reddit employee. They have a culture of unchecked cronyism. Reddit doesn't care about anyone, some people will eventually figure it out the hard way.

A social credit system, such as the one used by the CCP? Are you sure you don't want to elaborate?

Anyone else tired of passive aggressive self-help drivel?

It's worth pursuing status if the status you had was taken away unfairly via defamation.

It will give people a false sense of entitlement.

Replika used GPT-3 in 2020 and it was marketed under the health section of the Google Play store.

I tried this myself years ago and my previous boss complained because my status was not showing up as online. This was well before 2020 when remote work was not as common as it is now, so I'm still a little annoyed by that. Also open offices, they're the physical version of Slack.

My 2022 recap: IP banned after 12 years of supporting their company with gold and awards because I started a city subreddit one admin decided to censor, and called them out for it on my own profile. Untrustworthy company that doesn't care about users anymore, just advertising money.

This is a lot about how US society values service workers in general. The media quickly forgot about "essential workers" after lockdowns in 2020.

Taste is subjective though, and if you don't happen to like what Apple provides you are out of luck. There are many more ways to customize Android without rooting, and I think that is cool.

What these articles seem to ignore is that depression is only one disorder they're approved to treat. They're approved for GAD, OCD, and a host of other anxiety related disorders.

Perhaps in the US we could make healthcare affordable to just the "non-dangerously" mentally ill first before vilifying mental illness in general. Or perhaps, we could take a hard look at gun control laws that enable the danger instead of using mentally ill people as a scapegoat, which is what conservatives prefer to do any time there's a mass shooting.

For me, cozy software is maintained by people that have forethought about what might be unnecessary technical debt. I've seen messy PRs in both open source and corporate organizations get merged without much review. The problem is the processes. Maybe it's apathy by the people leading these teams?
