Based on the language from Valve, it sounds more like legal protection for themselves than a judgment from an ethical perspective.

Your question isn't a bad one, but the battleground over copyright ownership probably isn't one they're weighing in on here.

And what part of this particular piece of journalism do you feel assists us in that endeavor?

We get it. They died. It's tragic but this coverage is unnecessary and gratuitous.

I think there's a threshold fedi would hit and we'd start seeing these duplicates diminish. Not all of them will go away, that's always going to be a part of a federated network of servers each with their own user base. But some big ones will come to dominate and naturally acquire most or all of the available audience. You can't federate human behavior, but this system does allow for much better migration and diversity between groups than a singular aggregate like reddit. We don't need to make news and TrueNews. There's no monopoly on such terms. You can just make your own news somewhere and promote it and run it your way.

But right now, this place is in an embryonic stage. Cells are forming, dividing, dying, and being born. I would expect the landscape of it to change given enough freedom to grow. The more users we acquire, the more these magazines will evolve and change to accommodate. I expect some of these duplicates are going to go their own way or die off or be replaced. It's gonna be interesting to see how it shakes out.

There's no grave marker for the old mall in my home town. Just a new, totally different mall.

An elementary school was torn down and a replacement built right next to it, on the same grounds. The old school I attended is now the new parking lot.

The church I attended as a child is gone. Luckily my belief was torn down years before that happened.

In essence my high school doesn't exist, at least not as it did. It was dramatically reconstructed and hardly resembles the school I went to.

Of course these were things that were old when I knew them, and only continued to age to the point they needed replacing. The oldest stuff in my home town though, will outlast me.

Not entirely accurate. She'd probably say "a boy who thinks he's a girl"

It's actually kind of cute that the artist didn't go full conservative when depicting conservatives, probably an instinctive desire to not make a cartoon horribly offensive to their audience, even if that's what they think of their subjects.

Patient gamer, I'm still on BotW. Turning over every rock, checking every tree and puddle.

A goddamn decent human being.

Reddit's priorities aren't the same as someone developing an app for ease of use, readability, accessibility, etc. Reddit only cares about the backend tech that helps them control and serve ad space. And if you want to believe the bts tea that recently spilled, Reddit doesn't even structurally prioritize coding and development in the first place.

I was an rif die-hard. Such an elegant, useful app. It's nothing like its source site.

Nail polish works for me. It just sets people off, like they can't handle a hetero-looking guy wearing iridescent metallic green. Or, they get the impression I'm going for.

My reddit account is 14 years old. I remember posting regularly. That stopped about 5 or 6 years ago. It just felt like there was no point. Everything you can think of has already been posted before you woke up in the morning. I even stopped voting. It was like spitting into a hurricane. My last years on reddit were spent trying desperately to curate a better experience.

What I hope for here is that with expansion will in time bring features that will help us maintain control over our feeds, and by extension our sanity.

Looks like it's an unrelated death. Naturally, a news media headline implies a connection.
