Let's not. They're on reddit because they're fuckin' stupid.

I'm with jerkwad on this.

Why wait a week to start? Ugh

Because it gives the admins enough time to capitulate.

a small group of other mods

For a website with no cabal of powermods, they sure do mention it a lot.

Yet AGAIN they slipped up and accidentally admitted that it's real. I bet if you asked them about it they'd come up with all sorts of elaborate excuses for why it still doesn't exist. And most people would actually fall for it, because authority never lies am I right?

I never believe anything until it has been banned on Eddit.

Because it allows Reddit to know exactly when and how long to wait for it to blow over.

Some of the subs there are closing until the API scam is reversed.

[–]POOPCORN 3 insightful - 2 fun3 insightful - 1 fun4 insightful - 2 fun -  (2 children)

This means that they're doing something that requires a complete upgrade of their servers or their software or something and I would look for something really different to be happening when they reopen their doors.

3rd Party API fees cost too much, and they are going to make Reddit more bloated to capture user data to be like Suckerberg.

I'm a complete beginner at JavaScript but I have done some studying of JavaScript and using Dev tools to automate web browser processes so I'm a little unclear why you need an API to automate web browser processes or for web scraping or data gathering etc.

My point is who gives a f*** about API fees if you're a real programmer

[–]Site_rly_sux 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun -  (9 children)

Two of the top four posts, on s/all today contained the n word.

I don't think the kind of redditors who want to come here, are the kind of people you want to hang around with

[–]newguy 8 insightful - 3 fun8 insightful - 2 fun9 insightful - 3 fun -  (6 children)

Lots of trolls taking advantage of the free speech here to make the site look bad on a day they know people are looking for a new site

Counteract it with upvotes to quality stuff, and post quality posts

[–]Site_rly_sux 2 insightful - 2 fun2 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 2 fun -  (4 children)

No, set your dipstick conspiritard theories aside for a second. These are long-time regular contributors to saidit, who routinely post the N word, and today is no different for them.

This site sucks and I hope all casual browsers stumbling upon saidit can tell.

The kind of person who discovers saidit and wants to stick around, is not the type of person you'd want to hang out with

[–]newguy 8 insightful - 3 fun8 insightful - 2 fun9 insightful - 3 fun -  (2 children)

Of course there are some long-time people, but there's also a lot of attacks on this site, it's very well verified. Like to the point I'm surprised you even question it, much less attempt to mock me for it.

Seems like you want the site to fail. Now why would that be?

[–]Megatron95 8 insightful - 3 fun8 insightful - 2 fun9 insightful - 3 fun -  (0 children)

Don't waste your time on that idiot. He's a known shill/detractor.

[–]Site_rly_sux 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

Because it sucks and it's full of hate speech and fake information

well verified. Like to the point I'm surprised you even question it,

Wow, well verified.

Not just verified, but verified well!

So well, infact, that it should only have taken you seconds to drop a link proving this is anything more than fake conspiritard nonsense. Any second now in fact
