And in my opinion, the ChatGPT summary is a pretty good condensation of those 500 words. There are some things that are said more than once, and some details that are interesting, but not crucial for having a discussion about the topic, particularly with a focus on privacy.

Sure, 500 words isn’t a big ask, but I think when 500 words really conveys 300 words worth of content, and easily boils down to more like 100, it is reasonable to choose to read 100. I enjoyed reading 500, but that doesn’t mean everyone should.

[/I took a lot more words than necessary, lol, it’s because I am a degenerate]

Vinegar would probably work, but an emery strawberry is the usual tool for cleaning needles. The sand inside scrubs off debris, and it also helps keep the needle sharp. I give needles that seem dirty a wipe with a tissue in case of chunks, then stab the strawberry until the needle looks shiny. I’ve been told to avoid exposing needles to water, because it can lead to rust. (Not that I actually do, lol, I wet the end of my thread all the time. But I try not to clean them with water or water-based products unless it’s fallen in the cat box or something, and I need to sanitize it with alcohol).

Thank you for this excellent response.

Thank you for your hard work, and for keeping us updated on the situation.

Paid in IOUs, maybe. I think Reddit is too cheap to pay for people to mod large subs when it can just let the large subs turn into large shitholes for free.

I agree that it would be nice if Huffman got the boot, but I think it wouldn’t be good to let the other managing scumbags say, “hey, big scumbag gone, no one here but us Good Guys(TM),” which might be what they’re already planning to do.

Ok but actually, those are awesome, and I kind of want them. They’re probably ridiculously expensive, not made in my size, and also, murderously uncomfortable, but still.

Agreed. People keep saying that investors can be bamboozled by numbers of any kind, because they are not familiar with Reddit, because they don’t understand the technology, etc etc, but investors do know how to read, and a lot of them also know how to read the room. They might be rich scumbags who don’t understand the internet, but I am willing to bet that a lot of people who might be interested in buying Reddit understand people, and therefore, understand that you can’t run a business that defines itself as an online community when you have pissed off a whole lot of the people who make up that community.

[/squints] Eh… it could be a lemming…

They will if they check the news coverage on Reddit as part of their research. (Or, more likely, have their staff do it for them).

If they think that giving people an outlet for anger on the internet actually causes people to get that anger out of their system… where tf have they been for the past 40 years? That can work in person, but online, the more people rage, the more they want to rage. Giving them an opportunity just pours gasoline on the fire.

Advertisers, unlike Reddit, often think about more than raw numbers. And so do the brands who hire those advertisers. Part of why Twitter is hemorrhaging cash is that a lot of brands really don’t want to see their logo displayed next to a giant swastika, even if it means people are seeing their ad.
