Not necessarily to justify Gizmodo in this instance, but Slack does paywall their SSO feature behind their Business+ Plan, which seems to currently run $12.50/mo/user, which is about a 70% increase from their next pricing tier. See: https://slack.com/pricing

Given the price difference I wouldn’t be surprised if they didn’t want to pay for that.

Edit: someone later in the thread linked this page which helps explain why this is generally a bad practice https://sso.tax/

saw this one making the rounds the other day, I think it’s quite fitting https://twitter.com/SaeedDiCaprio/status/1750152798623195473

do not use other genocides to describe this one

I was thinking along a similar line, except -

Done. Chickens are now also extinct.

Sometimes you need to just let things go.

In these specific instances I agree with you. The few I looked at were just single or no post communities. I think the mods just want to give these a chance in case anyone actually does want to take them over and breathe some life into them.

In general though, I think it’s healthy for the fediverse to have options, even with similar topics. I’m sure you might recall situations on Reddit where people didn’t like how a sub was moderated, so some people would set up r/TRUEwhatever.

Epicurious put out a fun video last week having a few chefs compare boxed mac and cheese products. You might find it interesting https://youtu.be/uambW2W6zmQ

Garbage bags. I don’t particularly care WHICH brand, but I won’t do generic. The consequences if the bag rips open are horrifying.

This isn’t even new. Why are we posting things from over two years ago and treating it like some sort of revelation?

This just facilitates theft.

Ars and Reddit are under the same parent company, conde nast or however that’s all structured. I also have noticed ars seems to write very frequently about Reddit, even if it is usually in a critical light.

I get mixed feelings about articles like this one.

Legally, you cannot refuse. DMCA is written such that the host must take down first and ask questions later.

Do you realize how difficult it is to move from one country to another? It’s expensive as hell, and if you’re a US citizen you still owe taxes on money you make while living abroad.

Additionally, the cost to renounce US citizenship is the highest in the world by a large margin. $2350 + exit taxes, as of this writing. https://common.usembassy.gov/en/renounce-citizenship/

Next highest is Jamaica at $1040 as of this writing. https://congenjamaica-ny.org/renunciation-of-jamaican-citizenship/

The USA is an inescapable hellhole for the poor, so think for a few seconds before you make another shit comment like this.
