The backlash has surprised me a bit. I agree the price is a bit steep but considering the userbase is only a fraction of what Reddit has, it's understandable that the price would be higher.

I just didn't expect such negative reactions to either the ad component or the price. A lot have mentioned that it could become a form of gatekeeping for newcomers. I just hope it won't turn out that way.

Not surprising because of the strike, but I'm not really interested in the series without Cavill.

I made the jump to Niagara and have enjoyed it so far. I really enjoyed Nova, but there's no going back at this point.

My wife confirms the "gross dick" status for Ethan Hawke. She was working as a bartender back in college and he sat at the bad one night. He kept creepily propositioning her.

Agreed that most Reddit users don't care about 3rd party apps. They are also more likely just to be lurkers and not interact with the content as much, besides up and downvoting.

So if a larger number of the power users leave, Reddit's content could become more stale and just turn people off from going to the site.

Of course this is all very hypothetical and I don't have stats to back any of this up. It's just a hunch.

Prevent my 2 and 1 year old from killing themselves. Then I watch reruns of Seinfeld.

Used for spam. Right. 🙄

I think this occurs because people haven't gotten used to linking to communities on other instances properly.

They usually post the direct link like beehaw.org/c/technology . Instead they should start using the federated link which is more instance agnostic like this: /c/technology@beehaw.org . This link will load the community from your instance.

We’ll continue to be profit-driven until profits arrive. Unlike some of the 3P apps, we are not profitable.

Maybe fix your product before you expect the money to come pouring in.

When going through the post feed, I'll randomly get 5-10 new posts added to the top of the feed. These 5-10 posts are all new with 1 or 2 upvotes only. Sometimes all from the same community.

This happens on local, subscribed, or all feeds. It also doesn't matter what sorting option is selected.

Is this a known issue or an expected behavior?

I feel like this could go either way whether it's a boomer opinion or not. Real boomers are not very tech literate and probably don't have much of a notion of online privacy.

On the other hand for those that were adults in the early years of the internet, they likely think we're all giving away too much of our private information.
