It’s called a honeypot. They even ran CP servers in the past (after taking them over from the actual admins, in order to unmask the users).

True, but that power is also diminished greatly as more and more regular users abandon the site. No eyes on the propaganda makes it worth a lot less.
Somewhat, but the way federated instances are set up, it’s not nearly as bad or easily abused. Not as if making a new Reddit account was that much of a roadblock, either. They accept 10minutemail addresses.
Tencent will grow to become the anti-Steam, mark my words. They already have their grubby mitts all over devs worldwide, and every single one will live to regret it (or their players, at the very least).
I suppose Morhaime and Metzen have to wipe away a tear once in a while when they see their brainchild being violated in every possible way, but they can do so using fat wads of cash Harrelson-style, so I can’t say I feel the least bit sad for them. This is what happens when you prostitute your (and others’!) dreams to the highest bidder. I hope it was worth it.
Canceled my sub as a means of protest. I used it for research and testing purposes and 20$ wasn’t that big of a deal. But I will not knowingly support this asshole if whatever his company produces isn’t going to benefit anyone other than him and his cronies. Voting with our wallets may be the very last vestige of freedom we have left, since money equals speech.
I hope he gets raped by an irate Roomba with a broomstick.
Fun fact: King’s Quest I, one of the very first games in the world to use graphics, had puzzles that could be solved in multiple ways. Taking a non-violent approach was the only way to max out your score however. For example, there’s a giant you can kill with a slingshot, or you can tire him out and make him fall asleep for more points.
All mutts! 2 voids, a tortie, and a tux. 3 girls and a boy, all fixed. The two older ones (14) are sisters from the same nest. The younger ones (5/7) were rescues that happened to come into our lives at the perfect times.
My cats competing for a spot on my lap. I’ve never been popular with my fellow human beings so I’ve learned to appreciate the affection of my feline friends all the more. Their ‘opinion’ matters more to me than that of any human.
It’s simply ragebait. It’s a global phenomenon but I’d say Reddit embraced it as their primary feature, even more so than gd Facebook.
I’m not immune to it either, though my brand of ragebait is more in the /collapse and /antiwork spheres.
She’s awesome. Will certainly miss her once she gets an “accident”.
Will never happen. Those at the top would sooner fund extermination squads to round up the poor than send a single cent in aid.
I hope it goes tits up right quick.
I can count the times I went to the cinema in the last 10 years on 1 hand. Only “Interstellar” was worth the big screen.
He needs to be liquidated. And not in a financial sense.
Is there a reason this judge looks absolutely PLASTERED in every pic I’ve seen of him regarding this case?
This already happened. People looking up CPR instructions because a loved one is dying, only to be met with three unskippable ads.
Goodbye Meemaw.
Pretty telling when the only way you can get your users to “upgrade” is by stealth. I wonder what the % of involuntarily upgraded win11 users is vs people who knowingly and willingly did so.
