Yeah, that seems like it would have too much perverse incentive for admins to ban users they don't like, both to remove them and get money for doing so.

Also don't forget to remove the plastic film(s) they put on the CPU/Cooler and everywhere else!

I feel like we need a Redditor's Anonymous community lol.

Hi I'm Swintoodles and I've tried to open reddit 3 times this morning. The site is sparse, so I only browsed for 20 minutes, but I know I can get better!

Wouldn't be the first time a corporation says one thing to the public and the complete opposite to its shareholders.

Find me a community that doesn't persist primarily on the same small set of jokes.

with the recent ability for kids to convert to a Roth IRA up to $35k with no penalties if they don’t use the funds, has that become the new golden number?

Unless your kids are getting close to college right now, I would not put much faith in any specific program being present in the future. Those sorts of deals tend to come and go with the political tide.

Personally I put less and less emphasis on colleges with each passing year of life. Unless your child has aspirations to be a mover shaker or aims for a highly specialized field, just about any accredited bachelor's degree in the right field will work for them, ergo a cheap online/community college will get the job done, and possibly also fast if they're a strong student.

I'd put a modest sum in, perhaps around your number, and then subsidize each child based on their goals. You might nurture a child with strong entrepreneurial aspirations, in which case that 529 is probably not going to help them, whereas 30k in seed money could set them up for great success.

Teaching and nurturing a child early on in life will pay far greater dividends than a college fund ever will in any case. Giving them the tools to advance spectacularly and have a drive to achieve their goals is going to make any other obstacle surmountable.

• Factorio

• Deep Rock Galactic (lower difficulties)

• Risk of Rain 2

• OSRS (stay tf away from the general community, skill n' chill)

Games I used to play more for that comfy feel

• Minecraft (discovering cool new things in overhaul mods is just neat, probably need to figure out how to get my account back after the Microsoft stuff)

• TF2 Community Servers of the hyper casual variety, running in circles all day shootin' dudes is just fun.

He also had a bit of controversy several years back when it came out that he was stealth-editing other people's comments.

Only becomes a problem if commenters/posters get out of hand. On a more mild topic like self-hosting it's probably not a massive issue for the foreseeable future.

I was about to say, it's the same system Reddit has just about, except instead of a corporation having your data, it's just some rando with a server.

I haven't dug into the Lemmy system at all, but would it not be possible for the server owner or other users to run a lemmy version of reveddit? Might not be a system by default, but I'd assume any system with direct access to the data can copy it over to a 3rd party no problem.

How would that even work? I assume that there would need to be a built in backdoor somewhere, since it's clientside rather than the oldschool data pull from centralized servers.

That always confused me as a child, since it was super easy to just test it for yourself. Turned out salt tasted salty regardless of where on your tongue it was, the same for the rest of the flavors.
