I honestly wouldn’t mind seeing an extension to the IRC spec to bring in reasonable discord-like functionality to some servers. It’s time we start moving back to open standards from walled gardens.

I work a day job in IT, have a side business doing IT, work an occasional shift at my buddy’s liquor store, and sell furniture on the side.

Youtube has put me onto a lot of Australian stuff lately, such as Smoko (The Chats) and Hertz (Amyl and the Sniffers) as well as some more indie stuff like Wet Leg. I might just be old but these bands are all new to me and I love it.

So my understanding is Reddit, or specifically u/spez, tried to claim that the Apollo developer was blackmailing them over the entire API pricing debacle. The Apollo developer posted the audio and transcript of the call with Reddit showing they were lying. Now they’ve claimed his App is poorly developed and making wasteful amounts of API calls- so now he’s posted a large swath of code online to disprove that also.

tl;dr reddit CEO caught in a couple lies

Same, and it’s an open standard. We need to take the web back to open platforms and standards.
