1 year agoThey will get rid of old.reddit sooner or later to force you to look at their ads and thus make the platform more appealing to IPO investors who will see a higher revenue stream from ads. That will be the last straw for me. Meanwhile, I’m getting used to the Fediverse, trying to participate here more, and reducing my dependence on Reddit.
Some of us remember one of the first smartphones, the VisorPhone introduced in late 2000. Consisted of a Visor (basically a Palm Pilot knockoff by Handspring) that had a Springboard slot that you could slide a phone attachment into. I have fond memories of using it to bid on an AOL auction while driving down the highway with my ex-wife yelling at me that we were going to be killed…
Truly a product ahead of its time.
