There is also no way to just be friends. The friendly option are also the fuck options so if approval gets too high you need to actively be an asshole to them.

Yeah, I particularly like the part in lord of the rings where Gandalf randomly tries to fuck Frodo because there was a small approve notification earlier when Frodo helped him open the door to moria.

Arguably that would make it even more effective.

That exists, it’s called a face tattoo.

Community points isn’t supposed to be valuable. This is about making people start a vault/wallet and engage in crypto in a way that is fun and non threatening. They already tried it with the avatars but I doubt it got a whole lot of traction. At some point the real crypto currency will appear and suddenly reddit will have a platform with a couple of millions users that already has a wallet set up and ready. That will make reddit one of the biggest crypto platforms on the internet.

This is also what the API thing was about. Third party apps didnt/couldn’t include the vault on their apps so a lot of user didn’t even know the vault existed until now.

By a vast margin. Replies are apparently unusable as a thing for communication because if you have a checkmark the algorithm ignores any other consideration.

It feels like s legal liability to start a instance and not police it. People could upload CP and you would be on the hook because you are the server owner and clearly did nothing to stop it.

Yeah, that is why it’s such a big deal when a big instance defederate from another. If there was a large number of small instances nobody would care.

I think account migration needs to be the next big feature to prevent people from bunching up in big instances. Everyone is new when they start and the biggest one will always be the simplest to find.

Because ads are made by a company in order for that company to sell a product that they own. This an independent article about a product so that consumer can learn about said product. You can tell that it’s not an ad by reading more than the headline.

Words are just letters arranged in order but if I start writing racial slurs or telling people to kill themselves then I would get banned from pretty much any functional social platform.

If this was done against you or someone you liked, you would not make those arguments. If they replaced spez with a rainbow flag you would immediately identify it as a hate crime and a call to violence, because it fucking is. You can argue that spez isnt harmed by these kinds death threats and should just allow them on r/place but at least be honest with your fucking opinions.

An illustration suggesting that someone could be killed does not express any intention to actually kill someone.

Wow. Brain just turns to literal soup as soon as the hate is directed towards someone you don’t like.

Smarter target as in the protestors needs to be smarter when picking a symbol. Any action that targets spez as an individual will get removed as personal harassment.

It is a guillotine with a reddit head in it and the name spez written on it. Just depicting a guillotine is not a death threats but depicting a person in it that exist in the real world is absolutely a death threats against that person. If that is not a death threat there is no such thing as a death threats on the internet and moderation is dead.

Of course they did. It was a death threats against an individual. The protestors needs to drop spez as a scapegoat and pick a target that is smarter.

I still find it weird that people care about icons but I find you weirder for getting this upset about it.

They have to look different from each other so that I can find them but otherwise no, I do not care how the icons look and I have never met another android user that does either. While there are third party launchers for android to customize your user experience and they allow you to change icons I have never met anyone that uses launchers exclusively for that purpose.

The reason I am talking about iOS is because that is what we are talking about. iOS has a system to pay for app icons and Android doesn’t. Paying $5 for an app icon is alien territory for me.

Do iOS users care about the app icons? Every time I hear about iOS it feels like aliens.

That’s their crypto wallet. Literally. They are selling reddit avatars as NFTs and the vault is where you keep them.

Nah, it’s not even in the same ballpark. This is a greedy company doing shenanigans with peoples money, that is bad, but it doesn’t affect communities the same way.
