Why am i seeing Ads like this on every page i visit? by Ianiksin help

[–]hueypriest[A] 0 points1 point ago

Yeah, that is not coming from reddit unless some really crazy gremlin is loose. The only ads we are currently running in that spot are the Privacy Is Awesome ones and a few for Moonrise Kingdom.

reddit dedicated day of service? by hueypriestin ModsOfTheRealms

We're working on making easier for redditors to find out about local subreddits. Definitely agree that it would make a difference.

I'm embarrassed we even have to respond to conspiracy crap like this, but NO it's not a paid ad, and NO we have not been contacted in anyway whatsoever by any government about this. If you want to criticize the way we have done this project or that fact that we are doing it at all, that's one thing, but to suggest that the military paid us is absurd.

In hindsight, we could have framed this project better, but this is just about one to one connections with isolated strangers. It is not about patriotism or politics or even the best use of funds, but about reaching across space and time and even well-guarded security checkpoints and saying, "Hey, fellow human (who is probably around the same age as me). I don't know you but I still give a a shit. Here's a book I like that I thought you might enjoy reading, and some badass wristbands I found or whatever. Being isolated from friends and family must suck. Hope this helps a little."

We're telling people to pay attention to the rules and regulations of their troop's military, and do not send things that will get them in trouble or cause problems.

Thanks, HappyBadger! Human-to-human indeed. That's what excited us about the idea. Not about patriotism or politics or the best use of funds, but just about reaching across space and time and even well-guarded security checkpoints and saying, "Hey, fellow human. I don't know you but I still give a a shit. Here's a book I like that I thought you might enjoy reading, and some badass wristbands I found. Being isolated from friends and family must suck. Hope this helps a little."

Local cafe shouldn't have an impact. Don't see anything wrong with your account, but you might have gotten that if you were posting for the first time in a subreddit. Sorry about that. Try again.

I'll field this one since I was involved with the SOPA decisions as well. CISPA and SOPA are different animals from our perspective. We are concerned about CISPA as well, but unlike SOPA/PIPA, CISPA has been improved based on feedback and pressure from the tech/internet community and the memory of the SOPA fight. In particular, Intellectual Property was removed from the bill and some definitions and language was clarified.

We still have serious concerns about the civil liberties and privacy issues, and we encourage everyone to read the bill and contact your representatives to let them know your concerns, but this is not the same sort of existential threat to reddit the company and the internet at large that SOPA/PIPA was.

Easy Mac was actually sent to us by a redditor back in 2010. Every new employee is required to ritualistically eat one: http://blog.reddit.com/2010/09/reddit-mailbag.html

We don't even require an email address. Also we don't integrate with twitter or facebook, have rich media ads, badger you to download our app, share "frictionlessly", and unlike all the other websites we don't drink orphan blood for lunch.*
