what would Reddit need to do to get you to go back

  • Funny, I was just having that discussion with someone.

    I think the problem is all these platforms think the platform is the value and not the content made by the users.

    And of course, since they have the best platform, it'd be inconceivable that anyone would ever leave because they're the best.

    Twitter, Reddit, Youtube, and Twitch are all doing exactly the 'value is the platform' while taking a massive shit on the creators and users that made the platform have any value in the first place, then acting confused why people are angry about how they're behaving.

    No actual human gives a crap about the platform: nobody goes to these sites to go to the site, they go there for the content from someone they like.

  • In regards to email; the reason people use one of the large providers is that the large providers have taken malicious and aggressive steps to break the ability of smaller providers to talk to them, in the name of "security".

    It's not a 'natural state of being' : up until relatively recently you could easily run your own email server (and most businesses and huge numbers of people actually did), but it's been co-opted and broken very thoroughly by Google and Microsoft to their benefit.

    With the Fediverse, you probably don't actually want giant servers, as you're just repeating the concentration of users and thus power in the network into a smaller, fewer set of hands.

    • At what point does this go beyond reasonable for home use?

  • The 6e 4x4 is probably a little overkill, but if you've got multi-gig internet the rest of the package seems fairly reasonable to me?

  • It's not even only that: crypto mining went from every card the miners could find to literally zero almost overnight. The spike was, honestly, more driven by crypto than gaming during the super-high sales in 2020/21 and then immediately vanished.

    Of course, nVidia ALSO alienated the heck out of a lot of potential buyers who are sitting on the sidelines because they're not paying the inflated prices caused by that spike, so the crypto guys are gone, and the gamers are waiting.
