Reddit userbase is basically virtue signalers with the sole purpose of allowing bullying of various opinions, and paint themselves as the good guys while drowning in upvotes of the same 20 people's accolades. It's a disaster of a platform.
You can say that about any group that exceeds that exceeds dunbars number. Your indictment is about how humans in aggregate do horrible things similar to, you know, all the other aggregates.
no idea what that means. your statement about reddit reads equally across any number of large bodies of individuals acting in whatever manner; at best, you insinuate but never actually describe any concrete actions.
You lazily generalize trying to dilute what you know is true about reddit. "large groups are bad" doesnt even begin to address reddit toxic culture. And calling me llm just display the same sad performative conformity typical of reddit, btw. Thank you for demonstrating my point.
So far really wasn't an issue - I put $5 there and forgot about it. If traffic explodes will probably offer bring your own key or add credits/ads. Also just providing MCP for your agent to use is an option.
I think it's sort of sad that this simple act of trust in your community (having coffee and exposing yourself to others) has to be over-analysed and dissected into a blog. Broadening and Deepening events, just dividing the whole act as events it feels like i'm reading a post-mortem on adobe workfront. When the true meaning of that awesome initiative remains the human need for social interaction and the need to be part of something bigger (like a community!). I feel this is poseur-ish and project-managerial to a degree even detailed oriented people will find unauthentic.
I was reading this and thought to myself that I would have stopped at hanging out on the stoop and getting to know my neighbors that walk by. I don't want to yuck their yum, but as an observation, it does seem highly performative and overly organized. Almost like they are trying to proof this out to sell to other communities and eventually make money off of: "buy our community building platform for $20 a month".
I had the incredible luck to stumble upon this book early in my career and it helped me tremendously in so many ways. If I could name only one it would be that it helped me get over the sentiment of being helpless in front of a difficult situation. This book brought me to peace with imperfection and me being an artisan of imperfection.
I think it's okay to ask if the project is dead, but when they start pressuring you like they're your PM it may be time to remind the users that the project is open source and that they have the option to fork it to work on it on their own and make their own version with what they think is missing.
Furthermore I think that this sample is exactly what can discourage an open source project maintainer to stop development and work on something else, maybe something closed and private, which is bad for open source generally.
So people need to be more patient and read the code of conduct of any project they want to interact with.
You can expect this kind of dishonesty and self-serving politics for as long as we tolerate climate change induced disasters and its consequences on the human kind.
