  • I would bet that there’s a rule that not only says what you said, but redirects people to something like r/askplumbers or whatever for these kind of posts.

    I haven’t used reddit regularly since the API exodus, but I was part of plenty of communities like that. Mods can’t allow exceptions because you’ll get regulars complaining about the rule breaking content and new users complaining that their post was removed.

    Like you said, they were mostly professional subreddits, but others had similar rules (like r/churning, but they were extra crazy. They’d require all discussion to be in specific threads so the content was less likely to be indexed by search engines).












  • I moved about half my domains (I have about roughly 30) to Cloudflare and then stopped as I started hitting caveats. For instance they considered some of my domains “premium” and wouldn’t take them. I was having problems using them with some hosted website providers, etc

    I let the rest of my domains transfer to SquareSpace and it’s been mostly painless (besides Google Domains completely fucking up my email but that’s wasn’t SquareSpaces fault). I’ll probably run out the registration on all of them and make a decision on where I’m moving my domains next year. Probably won’t be Cloudflare though.

    That said, Cloudflare definitely seems cheaper than SquareSpace.



  • Switching from Twitch to Kick is like leaving Twitter for Truth Social. Kick was started by people who were kicked off Twitch for gambling and other banned content. And I don’t just mean poker, I’m talking about those skin gambling sites where streamers were found “promoting” but really owned and were rigging their bets to make it look like you can win big.

    Plus Kick’s backend uses the same Amazon services that Twitch does, so if your point is not to support Twitch and their parent company Amazon, Kick definitely isn’t the right choice.
