I think there's a lot of potential for grouping up and displaying posts in different ways.

That does look pretty polished... It's kind of overwhelming having so many options that pretty much do the same thing.

Sometimes you look like a hacker man, other times you spend an hour getting audio to work over HDMI

I think there'll be a lot more, since so far people have only left for ideological reasons. Once they actually lose access to reddit via third party apps, it'll be a lot easier to justify moving on.

And there are probably people still hoping that reddit will reverse their decision or somehow fix things before the changes take effect.

Can't say I'm surprised.

It probably wouldn't be too hard to write a script that does that by scraping reddit for links. That way it'd work even after the API changes take effect.

I think that the nature of modern social media platforms make this kind of moral panic It has some properties that make this kind of constant moral panic seem inevitable.

• Huge centralized platforms: they push groups of people together that have core ideological differences. Don't get me wrong, it's healthy and beneficial for all to be exposed to beliefs, have their current set of beliefs challenged, so everyone can grow and learn from each other. But a constant barrage of critiques, callouts, challenges, etc hurts more than it helps. There need to be safe harbors so folks can just chill.

• Engagement at all costs: Social media companies participate in the attention economy, where they make money proportional to the time people spend on the platform. Companies have to fight for your attention in order to survive. And the best way to do that happens to be through fear and anger. Bird app is incentivized to push callouts to the top of the feed.

I'm hopeful that federated communities won't have as much moral puritanism as the big platforms of today.

Sometimes being at a company in the end times can be fun and chaotic. You have a sense of comeraderie with everyone who's going through the same thing. With the amount of overwork Musk mandates to keep his ego going, I could see everyone pretending to work hard while he's around, then fucking around, looking for new jobs, etc the rest of the time.

Me except my hand is down in the top image too :D

I thought you'd appreciate the autonomy of being able to carry your dishes around yourself! But I could see getting taken care of like that being pretty nice.

I find it fun to explore that kind of world-building. In the case of coffee mugs, we could design one with a big horizontal grip that can easily held in your maw :D

I'm mostly into feral. Canines, big cats, big tails, maws. Some size difference can be nice. Andromorphs and m/m anthro art. Breeding/pregnancy too!
