I could actually see engagement staying relatively the same since most people are probably popping Reddit open for a few minutes, maybe engaging, then moving on.

What I do find odd is how consistent Posts per minute are over time. But it doesn’t dip or rise with comments. So now I’m wondering how automated a lot of posting is.

I’m curious if you directed the users of those subs to any particular alternative?

I mean, apparently they are already bleeding money, but I doubt that these changes are going to do much to help in that regard.

Honestly, even a year ago I don’t think I would have imagined this happening. I wasn’t around for the Digg -> Reddit migration but I wonder if this feels a bit like that.

I was thinking it would happen at midnight (some local time) but the trickle of subs has been pretty neat actually.

This one is great!

I had no idea that this was happening. But it makes sense with the decision they just made. I’m guessing they disabled X number of users on the mobile site that logged in, and tracked how many X users were converted to the Official Reddit App because of that.

That way they can predict how many users they will lose to the API change (roughly) and made a business calculation that the lost users were worth it. I’d be astounded if they didn’t also have a sorting for ‘value’ of users as well and weighted the calculation with how many high value vs low value users didn’t convert.

Wild, how close are we to ‘Twitch plays Reddit’?

Good looking out! I’m not the creator though, just sharing is all.

I’m not entirely sure. Seems like there will be plenty of inertia from the subreddits remaining open. I’d imagine that eventually Reddit will force them open again.

But they aren’t going to be getting those moderators back on the site without some sort of change. It’ll be really interesting to see how much of an impact that has.

I remember hearing something about that. I really should check it out, as a scrub who never actually finished Morrowind.

Wild, a 17 year old game, remade in a 10 year old game. That’s a ton of work and dedication from the developers of this project. Hats off to them.

Wild that it’s mentioned multiple times in here how the large data sets aren’t really an advantage. Reminds me of Nate Silver’s The Signal and the Noise. Sounds like Google and OpenAI have a lot of noise right now.

I finally claimed all my humble bundle keys for the last few years. So I’ve been working through some of those.

The stand out, cozy game, that runs really well on the deck is Spiritfarer.

How’s Tears of the Kingdom running for you on the Steam Deck?

Agreed, and while nice that it happened, doing so when you are just plain wrong is kind of the bare minimum.

Yes! Into the Wilderness specifically is always my go to.

Code Alter F has some great music as well, even if the music director was different that time around.

At least FlyingLaserTurtle apologized. Kinda felt hollow to me though compared to what he said.

I -think- that it was to try and keep mods around by ensuring that they won’t (maybe) take away their tools.

Yeah, aren’t they the highest ever, even accounting for inflation?

For me it’s the original Wild Arms on PS1. The translation makes the game a bit of a slog to play through. But, the soundtrack alone puts me into a happy place.

A sad story, made lighter by the friends found along the way.
