I anticipate multiple waves to come over the next few years, as Reddit implements common strategies ahead of, or after, its IPO; including:

1. Removing old reddit from the platform
2. Forcing users to provide a phone number for account verification, ending all anonymity among alts
3. Blocking anonymous browsing for all but the most mainstream subs or perhaps just r/popular

It’s all about the slow boil.

I may be in the minority here, but I don’t miss the sexual NSFW content from reddit at all. I was getting tired of seeing OF accounts posting semi-flirtatious things in completely unrelated subs in order to garner attention.

Intellectually, I think lemmy already has a good grasp on topics…but I do miss the daily video content of r/crazyfuckingvideos, r/publicfreakout, and r/idiotsincars.

Pusher 3, completing Nicolas Refn’s trilogy. All three films were great and I can’t believe I’d never heard of them until recently. Each provides a kind of day in the life perspective of someone involved in the Danish drug trade (circa '96-'05). Kim Bodnia, Mads Mikkelsen, and Zlatko Buric…great films!
