I'm still convinced I'm looking at one.
Reddit admins aren't even pretending to try to explain their decisions. The gloves have come off and they don't care about justifying their actions to the mod communities they're wiping. It's a matter of time until every subreddit has either fallen in line or been 'reset' unfortunately.
Reddit isn't the first online community I watched outgrow itself into the grave. I guess it's just the cycle of social media. Here's hoping this time's different.
I fully expected Reddit to fight dirty, but it's still surreal watching the iron hand come down against the community. Silver lining, I hope this helps accelerate the migration to the fediverse.
Not OP, but I've asked myself this as well. I think it depends on where you live and what you want out of your language learning experience. If your goal is to learn something more useful in everyday life and you live in the southern US, Spanish is a great option. If you're from Canada, French is probably the most useful. German and Mandarin are useful in the business world, but the latter is significantly harder to learn. If you're not worried about maximizing the utility of what you learn, Norwegian is considered one of the easiest languages for English speakers, and let's be real, Norway is awesome.
It's more important that you stick with whatever you choose though. That's the part I've struggled with.
Interesting. Seems like the DOD has been aware, but just can't do much about it. They can control how emails get sent from military/government accounts, but they can't influence or filter what others send to them. I imagine it would be diplomatically problematic for the US government to take control of certain sites under the .ml domain without negotiating with Mali.
Worth noting is that some entities are legally contesting the notion that a nation can have jurisdictional rights to a domain.
