    I use this place to escape from reddit, not be constantly reminded of it. I really really don't want to see reddit "meta" stuff on tildes at all.

        No, I get all that, and I understand why you'd be concerned about losing your service. I just really really don't want to see a load of reddit issues/complaints/culture follow across sites.

          But.. that's the nature of such a site or am I fundamentally wrong? Seeing stuff that's happening on earth? Sure, if you can filter out stuff it'll be nice, but for now that's just.. just how...

      I wish that were a universal truth but unfortunately it probably depends entirely on the license. Reddit released under CPAL v1.0 and while I am not particularly familiar with it (nor a lawyer),...

      No backsies with open source code.

      I wish that were a universal truth but unfortunately it probably depends entirely on the license. Reddit released under CPAL v1.0 and while I am not particularly familiar with it (nor a lawyer), it probably requires some investigating to see whether they can legally revoke the right to use even the old, formerly opensource code or not.

      This is why @deimos is leaning towards AGPLv3 which is written to "ensure the code (and anything built on top of it) will always remain open-source."

    What exactly is ceddit and why is this significant? How does it affect developers / average users?

      It's like the Wayback Machine, but specifically for Reddit. It backs up user posts and comments so you can see what people said even if they delete their comments or a post gets removed by mods....

          Ah, I must be getting it mixed up with other apps. Thanks for the correction.

            I think there was a site, unreddit, that did back stuff up like that.
