What wiki hosting site you reccomend? (i'm planning to migrate from reddit wiki, don't need anything fancy: just page history,categories(or tags) and hyperlinks).
>>43 no, I'm not implementing frozenchess. I'm pretty sure I talked to you about it on progrider but to make a long story short: it's not an abstract game, it mixes simple (resource management-focused) mechanics with text-based narrative elements, with both aspects of the game affecting each other.

(A few obscure and small subreddits is basically the only reason i care now.) Reddit is indeed doing downhill: 1.Profile-based posts like Facebook 2.Video uploads(in additional to Images)+ video ads incoming. Video bandwidth is going to take a huge chunk of their Amazon expenses soon. 3.Alexa puts it as 8th most popular site worldwide: its now in spotlight for normies 4.Facebook refugees are now dominant on default subreddits. 5.All content got significantly dumber, comments that get upvoted are either memes or sharing the common reddit sentiment about the topic. 6.Their shitty python-based infrastructure is barely able to hold at peak times. Oh and on top of that they still rely on Reddit gold as major source of income. And all reddit alternatives are still worse: either barely affording bandwidth or getting 100 visitors per day on some obviously shilled articles.

>>58 Yeah, like all those ideas in the last five years that turned out to be so bad you don't even hear about them any more because nobody wants to admit having been a proponent.

>>51 I don't mind reading a few articles that don't have anything to do with technology every once in a while. Just don't open the comment section for those.
I don't think you understand how much not-technology it is. Just open their front page and count how many are not technology For me it's easily 40-60% not technology, and that's without exaggeration.

>>63 It's not like you have to read everything, and not-technology is often more interesting than framework X releasing version Y. That said, I do agree that it's a bit excessive for what aims to be an aggregator for technology articles.
It would be very cheap to host a text-only version of reddit. It would be somewhat expensive to host images i.redd.it to host videos on the 7th largest site will bankrupt them, Even youtube isn't profitable. Online video is incredibly expensive: both latency and bandwidth costs become astronomical for popular content. They won't start such an expensive function just to please users: they intend it to be showcased feature to investors and important selling point (we got "profile posts", "image and video uploads", we can compete with facebook and youtube)
