We call them (Conde Nast) “Conde Nasty” at TechRights for a number of reasons.
This includes employing Peter Bright, AKA, DrPizza at Ars Technica (which we call “Arse Technica”), who posted glowing articles about Microsoft and then was convicted for trying to rape children (he confessed that he’d done so before to the undercover cop).
Before he was arrested, DrPizza trolled TechRights and tried to convince Roy Schestowitz to ban me. Now Pizza/Not-So-Bright is in the federal penitentiary.
Microsoft only affiliates itself with utter monsters, like Not-So-Bright and Joseph Cantrell, the Nazi who is now up on attempted murder in Washington, after stabbing a fellow Microsoft employee numerous times, as well as several rapists (like Jeremy Soule) and a strangler (Alex Graveley).
I had to do the series on Cantrell because the media tried to protect Microsoft by burying it.
Anyway, Peter Not-So-Bright’s articles are still up and bringing in ad money. Maybe Conde Nasty even deposits Not-So-Bright’s royalties in his prison commissary fund so he can get Bubba some lube. They never took it down, they continue to profit from this monster. They just renamed everything “Ars Technica Guest Author” or something.
In TechRights, we joke (perhaps somewhat inappropriately, but he’s in prison where just about most everyone who affiliates with Microsoft should be for some reason or another in this author’s opinion) about Microsoft Peter.
He told the undercover cop that he wanted to give the children “just the tip”, so that’s an inside joke now whenever we discuss tipping at a restaurant or something.
Anyway, Reddit is also owned by Conde Nast(y).
Reddit has a gigantic problem with underage illegal pornography. They don’t give a shit because they have safe harbor as long as they delete it, eventually, once they become aware.
Reddit has been caught using nasty fingerprinting javascripts that even look for security vulnerabilities in Web browsers. Why? Who knows?

"haha jit go brrrrr"
But now they’ve gone and done it.
They deployed some new code on their main site that breaks in SeaMonkey.
Look at this shit!
See what I have to put up with to browse around without the latest Chromeisms in Firefox?
Fortunately Old Reddit still works, so you replace www with old and hit enter.
Most people think New Reddit is hideous, slow, and annoying anyway.
Someone wrote an extension for Firefox called Old Reddit Redirect which also suppresses the EU cookie nag. (I suppress them in general with ublock-origin.)
It works in Firefox, but not in SeaMonkey.
But if you don’t post there anyway, you can also use libreddit proxies, at least if you can find one that isn’t rate limited.
I can definitely see why they’re having so many PR problems.
Get an “app”? I assume you mean for an iPhone *barf*.
Sorry Charlie, this fish ain’t gettin’ hooked.
Anyway, I’m trying to figure out if OpenSUSE is worth migrating to these days given the IBM behavior, letting Fedora fall apart, letting their moderators commit hate speech, etc. Red Hat isn’t half the company it used to be.
Then of course I run into garbled Reddit because of course I do. ⬆
