i had the idea of starting a forum based social network that used domain validation (e.g. work domain) as part of your registration and then displayed that as part of your profile.

the idea being that you'd somewhat ensure the person is a human that _may well_ know what they're talking about e.g. `abluecloud from @meta.com`.

i think the difference from when i grew up is that there were many baby photos of me but they were hard to find and view, you needed to go to the persons house and look through all their photos to find them.

if i look at my brothers kids, their phones will be full to the brim with 1000's of photos of them. we have whatsapp groups filled with their photos.

i wonder how interested they'll be when they're 40 to see these photos. perhaps a few, but all of them?

“A significant number of subreddits shifting to private caused some expected stability issues, and we’ve been working on resolving the anticipated issue,” spokesperson Tim Rathschmidt tells The Verge.

The thing is, along with all the large subreddits, it's all these niche subreddits that have helped train all these LLM to be able to do the things they can do.

If reddit is thinking that their content is king, then closing subreddits that help generate that content is not ideal for them.

Why is everyone banging on about this. It's a blog post from the same day, a decent post mortem takes a while to put together and assuming the bug isn't fully patched across their entire CDN, why would they post the information.

yeah. the dns was up. the problem was the servers weren't able to proxy the traffic. Also, as you say, you'll probably end up bringing down the upstream servers if you just fail open (and not even sure that'd be a possibility with fastly in it's "down" state that we saw).

Wonder if all the caches will have been wiped, causing knock on issues
