Isn’t everything?

The links from that post and top comment point out that that initiative was dropped. It got mired down in bikeshedding from hundreds of opinions and SO eventually just said, “Fuck it.”

The MIT announcement thread was edited with the cancellation announcment:

Update: January 15, 2016

Thank you for your patience and feedback. The changes proposed here have been delayed indefinitely - we’ll be back later to open some more discussions.

The top comment from your link points out the current license:

TL;DR: Source code on SO is still licensed under CC-BY-SA.

And CC BY-SA is the only license listed on the official help page.

• Content contributed before 2011-04-08 (UTC) is distributed under the terms of CC BY-SA 2.5.
• Content contributed from 2011-04-08 up to but not including 2018-05-02 (UTC) is distributed under the terms of CC BY-SA 3.0.
• Content contributed on or after 2018-05-02 (UTC) is distributed under the terms of CC BY-SA 4.0.

You’re supposed to do that anyway. Code on SO is licensed as CC BY-SA, which requires attribution.

Communism =/= leftism. It’s an extreme form of socialism.

My biggest problem isn’t even the communist ideals. Have your ideas, that’s fine. I don’t care.

My problem is the amount of people coming into post comments attacking American Imperialism® on posts that aren’t even related to communist ideals or, sometimes, that don’t even mention America. It gets tiring reading how much America sucks when that’s not even the point of the post.

Prestidigitation

Not exactly. The poultry family includes other fowl/birds, including turkey and duck.

I do see some clumping of communities in /all. Sometimes every other post will be from a certain community

I had to block Star Wars Memes.

Why did I laugh at this

Because it’s a fucking joke?

Yeah, but the range is 2025-2090. With that kind of range, I don’t think it even makes sense to focus on the 2025 part.

The Irritating Gentleman is probably my favorite painting and exactly what I thought this was referencing as well.

No, because you’re still riffing of off cake day. It has to be something birthday related. Or anniversary related.

Pie day would be just as lazy and derivative as cake day. At that point, might as well keep it.

Are Megathreads somehow different from other posts? I thought they were just pinned posts with the word Megathread at the beginning.

It’s an internal message to employees of Reddit. As someone who’s been in the corporate world for a long time, I’ve seen some variation of this message many times. Economic downturn, bad press, low sales, losing expected incoming cash… there are a lot of catalysts for this style of message.

Most messages we’re seeing are from users, who want Reddit to crash and burn or just do what the masses want, or whatever. But, on the other side is a bunch of people who may be worried about how this whole thing will affect their livelihood. Even if Reddit stays up another 20 years and not everyone loses their job, what scale will it be? Will Reddit fire some amount of their workforce to make up for lost income? Will I be someone who gets fired?

These are the thoughts that this message is intended to address.
