• The Reddit moderators who coordinate many celebrity AMAs will no longer do so

  They are referring to digg who set up most AMA. Source: 10 months ago

• Reddit CEO Steve Huffman is fighting a losing battle against the site's moderators

  Or is it a success because Reddit Inc has shown its hand of not giving a shit about your average user and this site will bleed users as they, especially power users who actually post and moderate and build the communities in the first place flee to places where their countless hours of unpaid labor are appreciated (like lemmy, kbin, mastodon), and good old reddit becomes a ghost town like digg which is apparently...

• What did the Reddit blackouts actually accomplish?

  It's the great unraveling. Communities are torn asunder. It's could very well be the first step of Reddits fall. Or reddit will just look and feel very different afterwards. A husk of an aggregator. Go to digg.com right now to see what reddit might be. Source: 10 months ago

• NPR quits Twitter after being labeled as 'state-affiliated media'

  Https://theoldreader.com is an exact clone. Source: about 1 year ago

• Canberra events RSS feed?

  Blurgh. Sorry, I didn't try it out, just saw that it looked something like RSS.
