1st thing I thought when I heard they were missing is, yep, it was an iceberg.
I like thought provoking philosophical or controversial topics. critical thinking, robust debate, and testing the strengths of arguments and ideas. I love to uncover weaknesses, biases, blind spots or flaws in existing beliefs or arguments, both in myself and others to gain a better understanding of ourselves. I aim for empathy, constructive commentary and respect for other people’s opinions, as an alternative to attacks. Here for self-reflection and - also - cat memes.

IDK I guess I kinda hoped that people would realize how stupid and exploitative the whole system of reddit is and the site would get overrun with spam and turned into an archive site. Was very disappointed in that pipe dream.
Damn. That’s brilliant.
I was thinking about that. In theory if I can see it, what is stopping a bot from grabbing it. I notice when I use search engines they have no problem seeing what is inside reddit - so there has to be a way to create a bot that does this. I’m just not programmer savvy in that way to know how it works.
This is good to know, will it still work with the API changes?
I keep hearing this but all the VPS solutions I find cost an arm + leg. What VPS solutions cost $30/year?
What are the decentralized p2p storage options for hosting bots, would decentralized hosting and storage options be a viable solution?
It’s easy for them to attack the remaining subreddits when half of reddit, bent the knee at the slightest threat of having mod powers removed. Imagine how hard it would have been to do this if a majority of subreddits had stuck together.
