I used to mod two pretty large subs (iirc something like a combined ~400k subscribers) and we had no way to detect ban evasion other than the user being stupid and obviously giving themselves away (eg. “fuck you mods, I’ll just keep making new accounts”). This was fairly recently and I left the site and quit modding about a month after they pulled the API bullshit and booted Apollo and other apps.
So unless reddit added additional tools for mods, your story doesn’t quite add up here.
In the Netherlands open faced sandwiches are pretty common snacks kids will make. Slice of bread commonly with toppings like ham, gouda, hard boiled egg, etc. Also peanut butter is a popular topping for bread, though having it with jam is a lot less common than in the US.
A very specifically Dutch thing would be piece of toast with butter and then literally sprinkles on top (like you might put on ice cream). The Dutch eat a shitload of that stuff. Also popular on buttered toast or rusk are little anise seeds coated in sugar, referred to as muisjes.
Yes the US absolutely does have them at some chains. Also a lot of stores have tech where the wheels lock up if you try to leave the parking lot with the cart. There’s various versions of them, including this one.
In the EU the coin lock carts are basically standard everywhere I’ve been.
Tucker’s bullshit wasn’t aimed at people that would know that. It was ridiculous propaganda for the sorts of dumb fucking Americans who never leave their bubble, yet spend all their time making wild assumptions about the outside world.
Yeah at this point if you’re still there, there should be no bargaining for you if/when this happens. So fucking stupid to give that country any benefit of the doubt.
Just looked and they’re dancing on his grave over on hexbear. Classy bunch.
They already had tried to get him with Novichock and just barely didn’t kill him. I’m sure they’d have tried again.
Yeah big grain of salt with that promise.
One thing that stands out to me about old.reddit is that it allows you to browse NSFW subs without being signed in. I feel like that absolutely will not jive with their IPO, so something there is gonna change one way or another. Could be as simple as no longer allowing any non logged in users from browsing NSFW or more drastic like killing NSFW altogether or killing old.reddit.
Yeah to be honest I couldn’t recall whether it worked well or at all on new reddit because I never use new reddit. I do remember the RES devs basically saying they were all but walking away from the project some time last year and that any updates going forward were gonna be bare minimum.
I bet old.reddit is gonna be axed fairly soon. All signs point that way.
Also wouldn’t surprise me if RES is killed off in the not too distant future.
Edit: wow that new redesign they just pushed is indeed pretty bad
It’s gotten real damn bad in the last week
Ah yeah that’s not a mod action. That’s a Reddit site-wide thing on the admin side of things or some automated system they have. Subreddit mods had nothing to do with that.
