Reddit is removing the DM feature in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 month ago (4 children)

Wait, how did they delete bad reviews for their app? That doesn't even seem like it should be possible or allowed.

thoughtbot is pausing activity on X and Meta (they are on mastodon, RSS, other platforms) in c/[email protected]

That's pretty stupid, also why is Meta blocked all of a sudden?

Internet forums are disappearing because now everything is Reddit and Discord. And that's worrying. in c/[email protected]

Yeah, forums were pretty cool!

It says I've been removed from the test program. How do I get back in?

Maybe they're trying to become the new Internet Explorer?

Strange. Lemmy was the real entry point for me to enter the Fediverse.

Apparently there was a trademark problem with WALLSTREETBETS at one point. https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/business/digital/reddit-sued-wallstreetbets-trademark-settlement-1235327626

I thought stuff like "Explain Like I'm Five" and "AMA" was proprietary to the community, or at least the Reddit community, not Reddit as a company.

I checked and I found at least those subreddit forum names were registered as trademarks.

  • TODAY I LEARNED (TIL)
  • SHOWERTHOUGHTS
  • EXPLAIN LIKE I'M FIVE
  • NOSLEEP
  • AM I THE ASSHOLE?
  • IAMA
  • RPAN (actual subreddit name is R/PAN but they messed up the word mark for the registration I think.)
  • ASK REDDIT (makes sense since this includes Reddit's name.)
  • NATURE IS FUCKING LIT (I thought you couldn't register word marks with swearing but I guess I'm wrong. Must be only for offensive terms then...)
  • ASK ME ANYTHING (yes somehow this "generic term" is a trademark now...")
  • AMA
  • ELI5

Also they have some trademark registration applications for WALLSTREETBETS that have not been finalized yet.

How do we combat Google Chrome being Internet Explorer 2.0?

Feels like I need to reboot my iPhone daily in order to keep applications and tabs from being terminated from out of memory issues as quickly.

Now we gotta have websites developing for all web browsers instead of Google Chrome like it's Internet Explorer 2.0.

What do you think of Batty Koda from the FernGully series? (lemmy.world)
 

He was an interesting character with antenna back in the first movie and a memorable voice actor.

There's apparently a Reddit activity streak achievement system now. (lemmy.world)
 

I just noticed this when I saw a strange "Achievement Unlocked" notification pop up on Reddit. What do you think of this? It seems like a retention tactic to me, like what Amino had with its streak leaderboards, and GameFAQs currently has with streak achievements for logging on ten days in a row and also for all days of a month.

What's up with Bats and Bananas? (lemmy.world)
 

What makes bats like bananas so much? Or is it just the humans' preferred treat for bats?

I was reminded about Bat Appreciation Day today thanks to this channel on YouTube.
