Firefox is wonderful 💯

I welcome the rise of their replacements.

Pasting here so you don’t have to go to Reddit:

Hey mods, u/Go_JasonWaterfalls here, Reddit’s VP of Community. So, we’ve all had a… time on Reddit lately. And I’m here to recognize it, acknowledge that our relationship has been tested, and begin the “now what?” conversation.

Moderators are a vital part of Reddit. You are leaders and stewards of your communities. You are also not a monolith; mods have a diverse set of needs to support the purpose of each community you foster. Our role is facilitation; to enable all of you with a platform you can rely on, and with the tools and resources you need to cultivate thriving communities. Tens of thousands of mods engage daily on Reddit and, in order to enable all of you, we need consistent, inclusive, and direct connection with you. Here are some ways to connect with us.

Weekly Mod Feedback Sessions

We will (virtually) host small groups of mods each week to discuss the needs of users, mods, admins, and communities (including how subreddits are, and should be, governed). Sessions will be weekly on Tuesdays and Thursdays July-October, and continue into the future as valuable. We will summarize and share notes inside the company as well as in r/modnews. Please fill out this form if you are interested.

Reddit Mod Council and Partner Communities

These are ongoing programs between admins and mods to provide feedback, guidance, transparency, and insight into Reddit’s future. We typically hold weekly calls and share notes with all members of those private communities. Learn more about the Partner Community program here, or apply (or nominate a co-mod) to join Reddit Mod Council here.

Accessibility Feedback Group

This group of users, mods, and admins will meet monthly to review and provide feedback on Reddit’s accessibility accommodations and tools. Our next meeting will be in August; please submit this interest form to participate.

Mod Events

In addition to our online Mod Summits, we’re resuming Mod Roadshows and picking up where we ended in 2022, meeting mods in Austin, Delhi, London, Paris, São Paulo, and Toronto. We’re planning the following locations for 2023 and want to know where else you think we should go. Please fill this out to be notified when dates are confirmed and/or to suggest a stop on our tour:

August: Seattle

September: Chicago

October: Bangalore, Birmingham (UK), Chennai, Delhi, Hamburg, London, Mumbai, Pune, São Paulo, Washington DC

November: Lyon, Paris, San Francisco

December: Denver

Lastly, I look forward to hosting you all at our (online) Global Mod Summit, which will be on Dec 2, 2023.

I don’t have an ending to this post, really. Hopefully this post is a beginning.

Reddit is so 2015

How reassuring, “should”.

I appreciate your post, thank you

What’s wrong with that?

I’m on the verge of switching my gaming PC to Linux, the bloat of windows is becoming too much. I’m fairly PC literate but don’t know anything about Linux or distros. It is intimidating to commit to a platform where I know so little. Does anyone have any tips regarding distros or learning the basics?

My money is on the Zuck, he’s got that BJJ and Elon looks like a chicken nugget.
