Hangouts was so close to perfect before they blew it all up.

Now I’m using a mix of Chat and Voice and it’s terrible for everyone. Voice doesn’t even support RCS from what I can tell, and all my messages with iPhone users are full of reactions. It’s so annoying. I’ve had the same Google Voice number for over a decade, why is this so frustrating?

Have some respect for those of us waiting for Xbox 🥲

I was a patient reader and just finished the last Expanse book last weekend (it was fantastic). Now I’m having to work very hard to remain patient for this game. I may buy it just to support the franchise and play it on my own time later.

I’ve lived by this advice my whole career and it’s never failed me.

I feel like I’ve seen enough to say that this is likely real and you are probably correct. I’m struggling to figure out how to prepare for this though. Are there companies or industries that we should be investing in or something?

Exactly. And it’s driving me crazy how many mods are caving. Like, I get that you care about the community and want it to continue on, but will it even be the same now that you know how little control you actually have? Will it survive the next insane, profit driven decision Reddit makes and refuses to negotiate on? Just rip the band-aid off now like /r/interestingasfuck and others did and let them remove you. We’ve seen that they can’t actually replace what was lost, so let them try.

For real though. I hope the former Reddit 3rd party app devs know how much the community supports them. They deserve it too, after how they’ve been treated. Just be open with any pricing concerns and my wallet is ready.
