This is literally just the r/nyt subreddit about The New York Times.

Given he apparently takes inspiration from Elon Musk, it’s only a matter of time until u/spez starts adding post view limits unless you pay extra.

    Kinda good since devs getting their systems stress tests while service is still young and alpha testers don’t bitch about minor inconvience unlike Normie’s stream…

      Agreed. This is very uncomfortable for us, but we’re going to come out much stronger for it.

      Imagine the alternative–the devs just skipping through imaginary meadows, adding pleasant little features and taking their time, while the userbase grew and grew, and then we experienced a very major breach of trust and security.

      That could’ve theoretically killed us. Now it won’t happen. Everyone is staring at their code and thinking “yep, security is important, that’s true…”

        Future incidents probably will still happen, but when you develop in the open it’s much easier for people to trust you when you talk about incident response and mitigation, because they can see what’s happening out in the open. In contrast, nobody trusts Reddit to do what they say.

          It’s not a question of if, but when. The only secure computer is one that’s a mile underground, encased in concrete, and with no network connection.

          And even then, it’s still not a 100% safe bet.

          This right here is a big deal. Even if an instance goes down or gets attacked, the easy choice is to just browse from another instance till it is back up.

          I literally only noticed because people made posts on other instances about it lmao

          I generally just browse by Top Day for All instances, unlike on reddit where i only looked at my subscriptions.
