Reddit refuge
Yeah, I’ve seen it from a few different videos, including one citing a 2005 Citibank report pointing out that this would become a major trend.
Wealth inequality is bad enough that I’ve even seen some marketing professionals mention it as a possible problem for some companies.
It seems like the commenter has been a thorn in your side.
And good for them to do it. Tourism causes a lot of negative externalities; this tax helps mitigate some of those externalities.
Wikipedia has an imperfect process, but it is open to review and you can see how the sausage is made. It isn’t perfect, but the best we have.

It is probably one of the largest criticisms of MORENA that the government has consistently given so much power to the military that should be civilian controlled.
Well, that’s been Chinese industrial policy for decades. The main issue right now is that there isn’t enough demand for the total international manufacturing capacity and China’s over investment is causing major economic and political issues for other developed countries.
Washington had to put down a potential mutiny of Revolutionary troops due to pay. Washington was able to do that due to grativas and the troops respecting him.
I imagine that hexbear and .ml try to actively engage in Chinese circles while .world leaves then alone and is too small to care about.
So who’s going to be the new Green Boots?
Eh. I look at the Taliban more as local self-determination. Those with political power in these small towns don’t want anything that can jeopardize their power and control.
Probably.
One of the two major employers of programmers, tech companies, have significantly curtailed future development of their products as the cost/benefit ratio isn’t worth it. That isn’t projected to change in the near future.
Companies that have full WFH are no longer constrained by office location in hunting for talent. A Bay Area programmer now has to compete with someone in Tulsa or Mexico City, which have far lower costs of living.
AI slop will probably get good enough to do basic tasks. So, companies who only need a little programming talent may be able to get by on shitty AI code instead of hiring a second or third developer.
The powermods arent bringing anything unique moderation except a network that allows them to control content for a specific audience.
It depends who. There are some that build tools and procedures for handling large forums. They may also share best practices across different subs.
As for controlling content, it isn’t like a corporation or political group can’t create 20 accounts and take over subs. That’s already happened on Reddit.
Its overall a good thing but the powermods will be replaced with reddit admins doing the ame
Or sock puppet accounts. Banning the current set of mods without a plan on who replaces them doesn’t fix the problem.
The problem with powermod isn’t that they exist, though. Moderation of a large sub is still done by volunteers that have had to hack solutions together because they don’t get a lot of support from Reddit. It helps Reddit to have experienced mods overseeing several subs because they bring with them experience on how to handle high profile and large scale moderation efforts. They are a technical talent pool that Reddit relies upon a lot.
The problem is that Reddit has shitty mod governance. It still uses rank by add date and offers no ability for users to kick a mod out except for TOS faults. Reddit doesn’t want to fix mod governance issues because it creates a legitimate mod power structure and Reddit doesn’t want to give that much power to users, including mods.
That said, Reddit’s shitty mod governance was copied directly to Lemmy.
There was a guy who owned a car windshield replacement company who would give away free dinners or diamond necklaces if you hired his company to replace your car’s windshield.
He was found dead with two strippers/hookers, one of either sex, some cash, and one of the diamond necklaces his company would give out.
Harry was always the spare, so it was highly unlikely he would ever get the throne.
Sure thing, Rick from Empire Glass.
Android could be profitable if Google Play Services went with it. However, that doesn’t exactly fix the monopoly problems associated with Android.
I hate to say it, but unless Chrome becomes an open source project, I’d rather that it be owned by Google. No other company that could make money on a browser should own Chrome.
And Mamdani has stated that he is keeping on the current Police Commissioner for now.
I don’t see the coming administration targeting police reform outside the stated goals of a new agency being created to handle mental health related issues.
