So anyone can pay to manipulate content now, and not just people with big pockets? Neat. I think I’ll just buy @ernest more coffee…

If you actually wanted to tag the person, you need to include the instance they’re on. In your case I’d have to write @1chemistdown@kbin.social

I did, it shortened it when I hit add comment. If you press on my @ it should go to mastodon. At least from my end it does.

On my end it’s just plain text. Maybe a kglitch/kbin difference?

It looks like they’re wanting to do a full rebrand as more of an actual social network, I think. Monetizing every single aspect of the platform sounds like a terrible way to go about it.

They don’t care about the users who are making a fuss. In fact, they want those users to leave. They want the complacent social media users who can be easily monitized.

The copyright on that page is 2021, did they keep working on that after all the criticism from the NFT avatars?

I looked it up and this wait list came out in December 2021 it seems: https://cointelegraph.com/news/reddit-launches-waitlist-for-site-wide-expansion-of-community-points

Yeah, I am not sure if this is actually news. I got the impression from what Android Authority dug up that this new thing was going to be regular USD. It looks like they’re going to be asking for bank account information and tax forms for anyone who wants to become eligible for payouts, and I don’t know if they would be doing that for crypto…?

I was confused with the section showing awards when an email just went out saying Reddit are ditching awards. But if this is indeed from two years ago, that would make sense.
