  • He has been quite clear in his views he views the mods as landed gentry and the common users as peasants . Fuck Spez.

  • If you run an ad blocker and no ads turn up when you browse , they they won't get ad money from you. Negating the value of engagement.

  • I am lurking and watching the dumpster fire at this point , reddit went full Authoritarian on Dndmemes and sacked a bunch of cool mods because we turned it into a goblin porn subreddit for the shutdown/blackout and the admins did not like that... so I am posting here now and watching Reddit burn in the distance.

  • Use public key encryption programs like Open PGP or GNU Privacy Guard.

    BUT you will want a program that is under active community development which releases regular updates to address any weaknesses or flaws as soon as they are developed , and ideally you want to be able to hand a copy to all trusted people you would like to securely communicate with.

  • I will always like the C64 version best because that is the system I had in the 80s and 90s

  • The fediverse is far more open to the idea of being a "marketplace of ideas" .

    That is what Reddit was before Spez got greedy and abandoned the liberal ideas that made Reddit great when Aaron Swartz was around.

  • That can be difficult in a small town where the only supermarket is supplied exclusively by a wholesaler who has a deal with Nestle. And ordering candy from Amazon will just mean you get melted and/or spoiled chocolate weeks after you order.

  • Stay away from advertising money , if you need money to keep a server up then start a gofundme or a patreon or something ... make it community based so that your instance stays community based .

  • Being a grognard is not a bad thing , having an experienced gamer who "has been here since the beginning " at the table who knows roleplaying backwards, forwards and sideways can be a valuable resource to a club , they can be mentors and leaders and now that many are hitting retirement age and now have the kind of free time they have not had since their teens they are available and bored , and they have been mulling over campaign ideas for years as well as reflecting on things that make some sessions memorable and other sessions be utter dumpster fires.

  • if they keep it up at this rate Linux will be the only OS people use by the year 3090 (16.66 years per percentage point)

  • Fuck Spez , I have bailed out of Reddit , it is beyond saving because structurally it is built on a flawed concept of assuming benevolent admins who work for the good of the community , and that is no longer the case , they are too far gone to be able to salvage value from that place and we are better off rebuilding better here.
