Smart man...
Although 7 was actually not bad. Probably about as good as 3 or 4.
8 was a fucking disaster, but this reboot makes me think it might get a Star Wars Prequels-like reappraisal. Holy shit.
A lot of them were, but the showrunner is a dude. It looked like it was about 50/50.
If we emphasize how many BILLIONS the owners are about to make, and insist that the mods deserve PAY and a UNION before the IPO, this could actually work. It might blow up their IPO.
Also, we need a hash tag. #RedditUnionNow or something.
If you still frequent any reddit subs, consider making a post about "What a great job the mods are doing for us and isn't it an outrage that they won't see a dime from the $15 BILLION IPO Reddit's about to have."
Edit 2: Changed it from #RedditEquityNow to #RedditUnionNow - the goal should be PAY and a UNION, not just equity, because reddit could just toss the top 1,000 mods a few million dollars in shares to split and actually get good publicity out of it. Paying unionized mods totally upends their business model.
Cool, thanks man!
Yep, agree on all fronts. Unfortunately crypto won't be viable for me at this point (although I'll accept it) because the audience is mostly normies.
Regarding Stripe, do you know by chance if Stripe cancels you, do they allow you to migrate saved cards to a new vendor, or do they just cut you loose, forcing you to have all of your customers re-enter their card data?:

It seems almost vindictive if they treat you more harshly than a dissatisfied customer moving to one of their competitors, but I bet you they wouldn't be in a huge rush to transfer the data.
Unfortunately Digital Ocean was chearleading the de-platforming of Parler and refused them service when AWS booted them. Apparently they have a bunch of woke DEI shit on Twitter as well.
Yeah, I heard AlignPay launched with zero documentation. They don't seem serious, but maybe they've gotten better in 6 months?
Just curious, do you have any details on the "massive gloating power trip" bit?
As I remember it, right before their IPO the New Zealand mosque shooting happened, and then a day or two after the Walmart copycat shooting, and the media was claiming it was all planned and broadcast on 8chan and Cloudflare (conveniently leaving Facebook out of it).
From what I've seen that Matthew Prince guy has talked a big game on free-speech, and has been very apologetic and hand-wringey these two times that they've caved to public pressure.
I'm a free speech absolutist, but these circumstances shift it from outrageous to unfortunately more understandable in my mind.
Selfishly, I'm not trying to host anything radioactive, just mildly controversial (although it could piss-off powerful people if it takes off) so I'm less concerned about Cloudflare, but the "massive gloating power trip" thing you mentioned has got me worried.
Thanks.
Wow, I haven't heard of any of those. Do you know if BuyVM, Vultr and Hetzner are free-speech oriented, or are they just obscure enough not to get targeted?
That was just a bad movie... In Indy 5 (the one they are shooting now) Indiana Jones will supposedly die in the end (or possibly much earlier in the film) and be "replaced" by his daughter, played by feminist frump Phoebe Waller-Bridge, who not coincidentally helped write the new James Bond movie:

You can google it, it's all over the web. Thousands of people have seen the movie by now, and the death scene has been posted to Youtube.

You can just google it, it's all over the web. Thousands of people have seen the movie already.
Yeah, I'm genuinely concerned.
Okay, looked it up. It looks like 3 of the 10 episodes were written (at least in part) by a woman or women, but a bunch of them wrote as a "team" so the room was almost 50/50.
The most prominent is quite a doozy - she was an "award winning" writer on Ugly Betty, and was the creator/showrunner for the gender/race-swapped High Fidelity show that crashed and burned a year or so ago, that even the SJWs couldn't get behind.
