Is It Time To Say Goodbye To Reddit? Has Reddit finally gone too far? First it was privacy, advertisements, and now third party apps. Is it time to say goodbye to Reddit? https://www.adamsdesk.com/posts/say-goodbye-to-reddit/ #blog #reddit #privacy

Replying to @travisj@indieweb.social

@travisj@indieweb.social I too was highly invested into Adobe with regard to Photoshop and Illustrator through a ex-employer. I even was a avid follower of Scott Kelby and a subscriber to Photoshop User magazine. I saw the signs around 2010 and then definitely in 2012. I left it all behind as I knew it was going to be a disaster. I'm grateful for apps like GIMP and Inkscape. They have their quarks, but at least I have my freedom and being respected as a user. All powered by the community. @timbray@cosocial.ca

@johnefrancis@cosocial.ca This is beyond disappointing. History shows that such organizations continue to break laws without any regard or care. They require oversight and accountability. 😦

@82mhz@mastodon.bsd.cafe I can understand how one struggles at times on what to write about in an intro. I feel most people have been there in life. Here is my brief suggestions...

Try to do something that clears your mind
Write about a specific link found
Write about latest news
Write about an interesting experience for the day, week, etc.
Draw from what is within a post, life tasks, etc.

@cos I just realized that I found this back in July of 2025 and thus far there is no public updates regarding this project. It would be nice to see a laser rather than InkJet, but it would be wonderful to see this become available as printers are typically not an open hardware design.
