I disagree.
The article you linked is about Reddit. We aren’t Reddit. If it was drawing direct comparisons between us and Reddit, I’d allow it, but it’s just about Reddit and there are other more Reddit-centric communities where this would be a better fit.
I don’t understand this line of thinking. A one time fee for an internet service you could potentially use for a decade? I host a number of small projects online and if I scale them way down in terms of hardware resources and don’t add a database or external services (required for basically any functionality), I’m still paying a few bucks a month. Add a database to it and it doubles. Now add a fucking crawler and your egress data rates are gonna climb quick. Not to mention the domain name itself is $12-15 a year.
A one time fee is not compatible with an online service. Ads historically have filled this gap for recurring revenue. If you don’t want ads, there’s literally no other ethical choice to make sure you can stay in business and ideally turn a small profit.
You keep mentioning YouTube was ad free, and sure. But that’s the classic Silicon Valley model. Offer a great product cheaper (ad free) than others, gain adoption, and once you have a huge user base, start to ratchet up the price. Either via ads or subscriptions. You need deep pockets and lots of VC money to make this work and ultimately you’re pulling a bit of a bait and switch on your users. Is that the model you want to support?
No.
I tested a lot of different search engines when I was leaving Google and Kagi was the best by quite a bit. The customization features easily push it over the edge.
That’s why I specifically said “both of you” and took no action beyond asking you both nicely to stop. Keep being rude if you really want, but it’ll be a ban.
Stop with the “you may suffer from” nonsense (both of you). You’re being rude to each other and it’s generating reports.
Do I need to contact them if I don’t have a pairing? I’m a developer who is interested, but no idea what to build and don’t have a team.
The comments in this post are turning nasty and I’ve already banned two users for their behavior. Locked.
I read this as they are inspired by cosmic brownies, not made from them. It wouldn’t be unheard of, but blending an already baked and processed brownie into a drink seems…bad. You asked if they were spoiled, but these type of processed baked goods don’t really spoil like that generally because of all the preservatives.
If this is real, my guess is it’s a fiber issue. Would definitely be thick and if you aren’t used to eating a bunch of fiber, it’ll really mess up your guts.
This community is about the fediverse and this post isn’t. Locked for being off topic.
This is an important post and I appreciate the insight into the happenings on the Fediverse, but the comment chains are going off the rails and I’ve issued a number of bans from this post alone.

The secondary market is charging about $86 a share at the moment. Largely due to the 10:1 split last month.
