#event: blackout

The Jerk Jock and The Hedonist are an unlikely pairing…about as unlikely as the entire gym being seemingly empty when the power went out. Oh, but it wasn’t. Milo and Jesse might each be seeing things, or they both might’ve seen a familiar head of golden hair whipping through the dark corridors on the way out of the gym. The Golden Girl surely wouldn’t be pleased about those two together, and even less pleased that it might’ve been at the expense of ignoring her.

NUMEROUS injustices are continually being committed against Sudanese people. I implore you to stay informed about this. There are many resources people have shared on this platform -some I have re-posted and others I have personally uploaded. Please keep talking about Sudan. The RSF must be stopped, and the countries supporting this violence must also be held accountable.

This is also happening in a few weeks, so please spread the word/attend if you're able to. All out for Sudan:

With the Reddit API change about to take effect, I want to mention a few things that I've seen that are likely to change or go away.

First of all, there's multiple bot accounts used for moderation, user tools, or plain fun. Everyone here loves haiku-bot. Reddit has u/haikusbot which does the same thing. The API change means it won't work anymore. There's also u/RemindMeBot which you can ping to set reminders. One useful bot due to repost karma-farmers always being an issue is u/RepostSleuthBot which can scan Reddit to see if a post has previously been uploaded. There's also u/SaveVideo which can create downloaded video files of posts. So the API changes mean losing a lot of user tools.

Then there's site specific bots like u/Roboragi which posts links to anime/manga sites for people. r/lotrmemes is filled with tons of bots of various lotr characters (and Robert Baratheon) and the bots will have full conversations in the comments. So the API changes means an end to a piece of some subreddits' culture.

And finally there's u/automoderator. This is a major tool used by mods to manage the subs. u/automoderator is used across multiple subreddits and has various functions per sub. One simple task is to check if a poster has a certain minimum karma, thus preventing spammers from casually brigading a subreddit. It can also auto ban users who post to certain subreddits which keeps out certain political views (or maybe two subreddits are just having silly wars with each other). Also, it can auto-comment important messages to posts.

So this change is going to destroy a lot of the internal charm of the site and it will also open the flood gates to bots, scammers, and all sorts of horrible things that mods can only barely hold back, especially on the huge subs, political subs, and any minority support subs.

Long story short Reddit is axing third party apps to prepare for going public and Reddit’s response is a collective “lol, no.”

🚨 Why is cutting telecom services in Sudan a crime? 🚨

Sudanese rely on telecom for:

-Banking: Fear of RSF confiscating cash.

-Safe routes communication.

-Healthcare: Seeking advice from abroad.

-News dissemination due to limited coverage.

-Receiving money transfers from abroad.
