The problem is - restaurants in most parts of the states cannot reliably do that. They’re going to see a higher price and they’re probably walking out soon after. Or worse - they stay and leave a shit review because they set their expectations at a higher bar of food quality than was provided.

If we could unilaterally remove exemptions for tipped wages, I’d see the possibility of it becoming much more common.

I mean, personally, yeah. I’ve been on Narwhal + old reddit for half a decade at least.

Exactly. But they dropped exhorbitant cost on those apps and provided no runway for them to adapt their business model. So instead - I’m here on kbin and likely going to dive into an open source project to try to help get a mobile app for this out soon.

Yeah, I was an original buyer on reddit gold. Then I got 2 years free because of the Alien Blue shutdown, and I never reupped afterward, because it didn’t really add anything to the experience.

And by the looks of it “avatar upgrades” and “Custom app icons” ain’t really providing anything else of value still.

The Brickyard Batallion knows and welcomes all sorts. :)

“It’s time to grow up and be an adult company”… while implementing drastic changes that affect their partners with exceedingly little notice and willingness to allow them to have time to adjust to these drastic changes.

I have this same 5 character name most places. Except for Twitter and Instagram. The jerks.

So, no, not really.

Rest of the week? No.

The answer is until they lower to a more reasonable price and work with Apollo and RIF (at the very least) so that they can keep their apps running while transitioning their users to a new pricing structure that will allow them to not be bankrupted in the short term because of the price adjustment.

But what if it's dead on my instance, and I don't want to make an account on another instance for the sake of managing a community?

This is the great part of the fediverse - if one server isn't moderating a magazine well, another server can step in to help blacklist that other server's instance pretty easily.

This, unfortunately, is true.

I checked a single thread in /r/technology this morning from the Narwhal app and folks there are in full apathy mode. "it was never going to do anything", "It actually helped reddit by making other subs discoverable", etc.

It's frustrating to see the level of distaste I have as a 15 year user of reddit and the 3rd party apps they've supported doesn't seem to remotely be reciprocated by that crowd.

And even on the subreddit discords I'm a part of, none of them seemed to be talking about alternatives or have any enthusiasm for such discussion.

The only way to modify the design to fit that philosophy would be to make it very tedious to downvote something. "Are you sure" popups and multi-step. That way when people dislike it... they really dislike it.
