    Reading this: are they implementing ActivityPub?

    Blockchain

    Oh sweet lord, no. No, they are not.

      Someone at Reddit had Blockchain missing in their buzzword bingo for 2023, I swear.

      I think that’s their point, to sound like the Fediverse but is actually a different way for them to get money and control the narrative. They’re also possibly trying to take away shutting down shitty sites “by giving the communities control.”

      Like, they’re giving users monopoly money, and try to pass it off as control. Like, the fuck are they gonna do with the monopoly money?

      Plus imagine if users actually believe the monopoly money is important. We’re back on the days of BB Forums where you can make a factual point but oops, you’re level 2 and the forum regular (4506 posts) just called you a cocksucker.

      Edit: Oh god, the moderator wallet thing. They’re letting moderators moderate themselves. This is going to set off a massive amount of infighting as some admins will take the whole wallet and the other moderators will call them out and the seriousness of the whole thing (moderation teams not getting along) will get drowned out with all the people shitposting about fighting for monopoly money.

      This is the stupidest thing I’ve ever read.

      Thank goodness, I wasn’t the only one. I really thought they were talking about activitypub.
