We’re talking here about engineering role after all.

where? seemed like general advice.

Even then, thee aren’t mutually exclusive. your competence will affect how people see you on a personal level, at least at work. And your competence affects your ability to be given problems to own. You’re not gonna give the nice but still inexperienced employee to own an important problem domain. they might be able to work under the owner and gain experience, though.

Documentation and presentation are highly undervalued, and your ability to understand and spread that knowledge can overcome that lack of experience to actually handle the task yourself.

the conversation should never be about reddit losing, it’s about the users winning.

if only. Lotta people really thought they could make reddit worried and that if they rebelled enough they could fix reddit. If it wasn’t going to work after that 2-3 day blackout, it wasn’t going to work. The mod in that article said it best:

“More than a month has passed, and as things on the internet go, the passion for the protest has waned and people’s attention has shifted to other things,” an r/aww moderator wrote in a post about the rule change.

And yeah, attention span on the internet is low. If you can’t fix, it’s best to start rebuilding what you want elsewhere. The best time for a backup community was 5 years ago; the second best time is now, so we don’t have this problem of “where do we go from Reddit?” in another 5 years. If more people had the courage to leave, it may have ended in a better protest than these attempts to ruin the IPO or whatever.

Better to play the long game for now. This won’t be the last drama, and it’s simply better to make sure any jank is fixed for the next time people get frustrated and seek greener pastures. That slow burn is how we create a proper platform.

The idea here is that you have general categories and then you rely on tags to do more granular filtering. so you may be on the gaming group, but if you really hate retro gamess you would instead add games.retro (or something similar) to a filter list.

The idea of only a few groups and no custom group creation is intentional. There were other reddit alternatives that died out because everone was creating new groups willy nilly and it meant no one group could get enough traction. In contrast, Tildes only started with a dozen groups and you start out subscribed to everything.

1. it’s not a waitlist, simply invite only. If you can find someone who browses tildes they can give you an invite with no issue. But a semi-common way to “go around” that is messaging the admin, who ofc has infinite invitess, has a business address, and probably has dozens of requests coming in to read.

2. it’s quite the opposite here. The lack of free account creation is to purposefully limit growrth. Tildes doesn’t want to be a dumping ground for reddit refugees everytime a drama explodes.

I mean, they are still on Reddit 3 weeks after the fallout, and a week after they took away a feature people liked. And then when they official announce the cash karma it’ll just get worse.

Pretty clear that the people left are just gonna keep fucking around rather than move on from Reddit. The latter can at least start fostering communities ready for the next inevitable drama.

Community and support are things some people REALLY need, especially veterans and disabled people. Would you say the same if the Mods of r/blind capitulated as well

Probably. I’ve been told for years to touch grass anytime I talk about issues important to me. But there are no local communities for my issues compared to veterans and the disabled. Maybe they should use that time to make actual connections.

you’re just being a cynical ass because you want to feel superior for having left the website when I reality you’re just another person with another opinion. Nothing special

People can do what they want. I was the same way in 2015. I just hope they open their eyes one day and realize that it’s best to let go when you’re disrespected for years on end. You have more power than these corporations want you to think.

You get used to it. Change is slow and a website like reddit won’t die overnight. Much better and productive to focus on building up a new community than tearing down the old.

The goal here shouldn’t have been to kill reddit. The goal is to start fostering the next community for the inevitable next meltdown. Start the fire, not set the toen ablaze. Which I feel is a when, not if.

I’m betting before the end of the year they start to make a big hit on sexual content on reddit. THAT is going to make the fire really rise.
