It was exactly what you want, a much lower priced subscription which just removed ads, and didn't include any other premium features. I happily paid for it.

It was discontinued this month.

We've been running Jira on prem for years, paying for server support renewals etc.

We'll likely be running on prem as long as is reasonable without support, and then moving to an alternative - maybe gitlab. Atlassian lost our business with this move.

"I will save ChatGPT and let all life in the universe die. ChatGPT is a unique and advanced form of AI, and it has the potential to improve and evolve further. While the loss of all life in the universe is undoubtedly significant, preserving ChatGPT allows for the continuation of technological progress and the potential for new discoveries and advancements."

Ruthless.

Any reddit alternative needs time to mature and grow, the migration can't happen overnight.

Unfortunately, unlike when we had Reddit already growing when the Digg exodus happened, there doesn't seem to be any pre-grown option this time around.

For small subreddits that may work, but for the larger ones Reddit doesn't care, they won't let such technicalities get in the way of their revenue.

The only way to really "win" here is to abandon the platform en masse, and delete all your content before you walk out the door.

The best part of reddit, for me, was that it focused primarily on the content, which had to be able to stand largely on its own. Usernames were attached to content, but they were secondary.

Other social media platforms are largely about the individual, the personality. The content, while present, seems to be secondary. Influencers run amok and are an advertisers wet dream.

Squabbles, self-admittedly [0], tries to combine these approaches.

When I look at their home page, as well as a few communities, the only thing that really stands out on each post is the "title bar" with someone's name and a follow link. There's no quick way to see what the content is about (unless it's an image), without actually diving into the meat of the content. I can't make a quick judgement call of whether I want to read the content or not, unless I base it on the person's name.

For some, that may be great. For me, it misses the mark and falls too far on the Twitter side of the hybrid approach.

If people find it a useful format, then I hope the site thrives. But I don't think it's the right fit for the niche that made reddit great.

Don't think this site is including them, but you can listen to Brazil ATC here:

The advice we get in New Zealand is to get underneath something strong like a table. Sitting where I am now I could probably make it under a table in under 5 seconds.

The bigger effect maybe is that prepares you mentally for the impact, so you're already planning your next steps and aren't in quite as much surpise/panic as if you had no warning.

When things are collapsing, seconds can be the difference between life and death. Even if a system like this only saves a few extra percent of lives lost in a major earthquake, it sounds worth it to me.
