funnily enough today was also the day I saw a hackernews comment recycled in a twitter post in reddits daily rolling top10, something that I haven't seen before.

From r/antiwork of all - https://old.reddit.com/r/antiwork/comments/11r3sfs/rich_vs_p...

The practice of re-posting across platforms amuses me.

For direct domain links nothing was >6k upvotes yet, but hard to do analytics on screenshots, the common currency of the crossposting economy - https://old.reddit.com/domain/news.ycombinator.com/top/?sort...

I don't think people make that distinction in their lived felt experience. Mods == Reddit.

Unless it's changed completely since I bolted from there a couple years ago, they absolutely do. Anyone who had been using the site for more than a few weeks generally understood the difference.

That sites been eternal Septembered multiple times, to the point it's almost entirely unrecognisable. Reddiquitte isn't even a thing anymore, they now have "policies" and "codes of conduct".

I wouldn't be shocked if the meta has changed to call anyone with powers "admins" now.

It hasn't, but then again reddit is huge, and it is easy to wall yourself off from most of it if you try hard enough, which I have.

Probably just the way you use them? You Tweet and lurk Reddit? All user generated content is read heavy. Most people just lurk. Twitter publishing view counts is demonstrating this clearly. You'll get 3 likes, 2 comments, and 400 views.

Are there any Twitter lurkers? I never created Twitter account and the only time I visit it is if there's some news article or someone mentions specific tweet in social media. From what I see, Twitter is just a tool for narcissists, and they absolutely need to write to exist.

Check the view counts that they now publish. Every Tweet has orders of magnitude more views than likes, comments or retweets. Those are all of the lurkers.

> It has actually gotten a lot better. Come on, almost every evening you get error pages. Yes they don't last more than a few refreshes, but it's simply ridiculous for a site as prominent as Reddit.

I’ve had much better experience after I switched back to the classic reddit page. Still occasionally has issues. But not nearly as bad as the default page. Maybe once every couple of weeks, I’ll get the reddit is broken page for a minute or two.

ah, i should have noted i never switched to or really tried new reddit. perhaps that has issues. old reddit has gotten very solid over time.

So, anyone want to talk about guitar pedals in here?

Get anything new recently? My last acquisition was a TC Electronic Super Chorus Flanger reissue- very nice :-)

That sounds cool as hell. I had JUST set up a trade for an EAE Halberd... riight when reddit went down and my trade partner and I lost access to each other's addresses. Back underway now though!

Well it was for a while. Then they got someone killed during the whole Boston thing. So you know, theres that..

What? They didn't get anyone killed.

Sunil Tripathi committed suicide, and while missing was named as one of the Boston bombers by a bunch of Reddit detectives leading to harrassment of his family, but I don't think the suicide was a result of being misidentified.

I think that's where the GP's mistake originated, though, since there was a public misidentification of someone who committed suicide.
