You just unlocked the bad end

I want a fediverse dating sim

Reddit had shareholders before their IPO, they just weren’t public shareholders.

I played the Humankind demo and found it to be genuinely awful and borderline unplayable. I’m surprised it’s caused this much panic amongst 2K, unless Humankind has gotten a lot better since the demo.

The US v Canada proxy war was not something I was expecting

Discord has had investors for well over ten years.

“Daddy! China hurtin’ my feewings! Hewp daddy! China bein’ a big meanie!!!”

Phone dictionaries have been fine for kanji recognition and searching radicals for over 10 years.

I learnt Japanese in schooling from 2002 to 2011 and I was using my phone in the last two years of that.

Well, I kind of disagree with the up/down votes being inherently bad, as they more front-load early posting rather than accurate posting. Meaning early engagement is likely to have higher upvotes rather than engagement which is factual and well thought out. This incentivizes much more emotional and meme posting.

I’ve seen it happen time and time again on Reddit and even here: someone makes post, bunch of people react only to the headline, or spread misinformation, and by the time nuanced posts and thought out posts are made, engagement has plummeted and people have moved on to the next thing.

Yeah, but in this day and age we’re going to grow with easy-to-consume content e.g. memes. Once growth hits a critical mass then the niche communities will come.

I would imagine if you made karma points limited on the spender side rather than unlimited, then it might make users “try harder” to get validation, thus improving the quality of content on average.

Or it all could be bullshit and fail. Hard to say. You are right though, it’s all manufactured for engagement.

I think the only way to really fix this is to make votes a limited asset that accounts have. There are forums where this has worked okay: bodybuilding.com forums has a reputation system where accounts are limited in what they can give to other voters.

As long as “karma” is unlimited it suffers from the same problems whether you count it in aggregate or not. As some other commenters have said, people still seek validation in individual comments. I know because I do too.

Many of you are completely two-faced on copyright laws.

I’m curious as to what the opinion of AI will be in 10 years

You have to be living under a rock to not know that WoW is still an incredibly popular game. It’s easily still the most popular MMORPG

Shut up Ars

A good IT is blocking ads at a company-level. Browser extensions wouldn’t matter, and in fact, shouldn’t be allowed for the same reason.

We’re in the world of wrongthink now

You’re right. Reddit was naive to expect that people would give a positive value to something they inherently disagreed with.

Of course, now they’re going to punish people who agree with things that Reddit doesn’t agree with.
