They specifically mention open kettle canning as a bad practice. My friend and I were canning something and he wasn’t sure we were doing it right. He called his mom and she said she had always done open kettle canning (where you basically just pouring boiling temp food into hot jars and seal them). I guess experts have soured on the practice.
Either way, we made our cans the “right” way after lots of googling and none of the jars seemed to fail.
While I sympathize with the moderators, I would assume that historically most subs are not moderated by experts, but yes, a decrease in quality mods and mod tools will choke reddit to death.
Exactly. There was a time when using Reddit didn’t feel like you were giving Reddit the company anything for free. There was a transaction happening. They provided a platform to interact with like-minded people, and in return you used that platform, thereby drawing more traffic to their site.

Particularly the emphasis on the importance of decentralisation and setting it up right so never again do we have to go through that loss of community and platform. It really sucked in ways equally rational and emotional.
The platform of the fediverse may continue but the loss of community is still very much a possibility. All it takes is hostile actors manipulating their way into control of a particular community and then they can shutter it or steer it in a direction of their choosing. Every community on every server is like a Corp in Eve. It’s easy to start an alternative but the specific community will still be harmed. But that’s life.

Thirteen years of Reddit and I left with the ourge. I found lemmy and anever looked back.
Same. It’s about more than just the app to me. It felt like a betrayal of the social contract which brought me to Reddit in the first place, and which kept me there even as I slowly aged out of the main culture, as the site became a hot bed for shady viral marketing and information warfare, and then as the site became infested with fascist mind rot.
That contract was about building and curating your own experience, which was genuinely a radical idea in the forum world at one point in time. But killing off the API signalled to me that this was no longer the casem. Spez was building just another shitty walled garden, and that was taking precedence over the “build your own reddit” experience I’d come to know and love.
I think that’s a good way of putting it. I couldn’t be on Reddit any more afterwards and Spez being like, let’s just wait it out. It felt like a spit in the face.

As with traditional Reddit PR: Reddit will comment when there’s correction to be made. Since Reddit made no correction, the article is 100% accurate.
I’ve recently found reddit less engaging. I used to post on various communities about interests of mine, but at the end of the day I can’t deny reddit is a profit based model which is ok all in all, but it really leaves a bad impression for the end user who just wants to get along in a community with like-minded individuals.
And that is the very aspect that used to make it a great place for end users. Contrary to twitter or youtube that incorporate recommendation algorithms, reddit and similar sites expect users to find their communities on their own and contribute on them altogether without the intervention of some centralized algorithm. The way in which it has evicted unofficial clients is quite a shame in that regard ; it makes the platform more aggressive towards users.
