  • Interesting idea but it’s still too close to the reddit platform. Looks a lot like reddit gold, except you can take your ‘gold’ elsewhere. This is a cool idea, despite the knee jerk reactions in this thread.

    It’s a partial step towards a DAO, but looks rushed, half baked, and done for the wrong reasons. Some reddit profits will trickle into this currency. If they wanted to provide actual benefits instead of just making themselves rich they’d distribute profits to CP holders and allow CP holders some governance roles site-wide instead of being boxed into a community. Serfdom vibes.


  • Ya it’s a shit idea to go subscription in any situation. You really do not need any kind of ongoing updates/subscription unless the product was built around a subscription model. If it can done mechanically on basic programmable outlets then it can be coded the same way. I would be fine buying a laundry machine, asking my utilities provider what time to run it, and then programming that into the machine manually.


  • There are cases for it, eg programming a wash to occur when energy demand is low.

    In my opinion we should be pursuing technologies to do this that don’t require an internet connection. Even being able to program a schedule into the machine and it can detect if something is in there or not. That would be enough since energy usage follows a relatively consistent plot. These companies don’t give a shit about anything other than coming up with ways to make more money.




  • Idk I felt like above a certain point karma was just an indication that that person knew how to game the system and play nice with reddit.

    I like how it is on lemmy. I feel like downvotes/upvotes prompt conversations. You’re at 47/6 and it doesn’t really matter to me, it just shows that people might not totally agree and then I’m hopeful that they have left a comment.

    I think it’s also possible that the voting system on reddit was effective at marginalizing people.
