I’ve also been happy with Cloudflare. It’s not a company without problems, but they’ve been reliable.

Bah, I checked and It’s not even available in my area.

Thanks for the tip either way!

Verizon is locked in at $35/mo for 10 years and no data caps.

Desire to know more intensifies

I think the reaction on the site itself also suffered from the AMA getting hard buried.

Which was stupid. People should have upvoted the post in the AMA sub which was just a link to the AMA on the Reddit sub. It wasn’t even pinned. And even if you did find it, until they did a summary you couldn’t see his responses because also buried (understandably)

That said, yes, I agree with you and the adjacent poster - the upside is alternative platforms got a huge boost, and even if a lot of the influx doesn’t stay, it’s still a huge boost.

I don’t think Reddit will immediately reverse course, but I think the protest has been an absolute win simply by giving the alternative communities far more growth than they would have otherwise.

Reddit needs competition to feel threatened.

Which makes me wonder - was the push for 60fps across the platform a move to make competition harder?

I’m not aware of anyone that was using it as a leg up on them.

once you’ve been on there a week you get the ability to label things (noise, jokes, malice), which sort of functions as a more nuanced downvote button.

I’m glad to see other platforms doing this, it worked pretty well on Slashdot for a while.

I’ve been using it for a while. It’s pretty great.
