    @kurlancheek I saw on Reddit that you are working on the issue with dye on Elegant and Elven decor. Looking forward to the fix. I was mid-building something cool in the Alliance cemetery, finding my black dye showing up as silver & the colors looking washed out really killed the vibe.

    @openclaw I’ve not had any problems updating my OpenClaw. I literally use opus 4.7, give it the OpenClaw update details document. And screenshot a few x posts and Reddit posts talking about people complaining the updates keep breaking stuff. And then Claude opus 4.7 gives me a few things to do to backup everything, and also a Claude code prompt that basically in one shot checks everything out with openclaw, my entire environment, and then executes the updates on Claude code. With no issues at all. It basically figures out everything that could break, and Claude code literally makes sure it doesn’t break. Using regular Claude chat with opus 4.7 and Claude code. Takes a few minutes to update and everything works fine. Plus it backs up my state before updating too just incase, but I’ve never needed to actually go back after the update. Just some advice to people, I’m sure ChatGPT and codex together can also give you a similar experience. I also have an open claw project folder in my Claude app, with files detailing my hardware, openclaw details, connected software/tools/skills/local model, everything. And then I also have a chat dedicated to openclaw upgrades only, so each time I update it literally has the context of every update I’ve done in chat history to pull from. As well as project files. Idk but it’s literally been smooth as butter for me doing it this way 🙏🏼 hope this helps some of you.

    @IntEngineering Fast forward to today… AWS is basically the invisible backbone of the internet. Big platforms like Netflix, Airbnb, Reddit, and even critical organizations like NASA and the CIA rely on it. When AWS has a major outage in one region, parts of the internet don’t just slow down — they freeze. It’s like pulling a hidden plug behind the world’s digital systems.

    Why does your competitor show up in ChatGPT recommendations? Not backlinks Not SEO Not more content They show up where AI looks: • Reddit • Communities • Answer-first threads They stay consistent Others quit too early That’s the advantage Not effort Placement I broke it down in the Reddit Playbook: • What to post • Where to post • How to get cited by AI Comment “REDDIT” and I’ll send it

    "What GTM strategies have actually worked for Series A SaaS companies?" *checks notes* - $200K on "growth hacking" consultants ❌ - $50K on ads targeting "decision makers" ❌ - 3 hours reading Reddit threads where your ICP complains about your exact problem ✅ The funniest part? The Reddit insights cost $0 and shipped features that actually converted. But sure, let's hire another "GTM expert" who's never sold anything 🤡

    Is there a cyber attack happening right now? Amazon and Reddit are down. Some other random websites I frequent are also down.

  • TaiTechSolution

    @WorkWomp @tibo_maker That’s exactly why you’re stuck you’re in the “everyone posts, nobody cares” subreddits. Job search + career subs are a completely different game. They’re strict because users are sensitive, not because Reddit is against you. If your content feels even slightly like promotion, it gets killed instantly. This is actually where most founders mess up — wrong communities + wrong entry approach. If you want, I can help you fix that properly. What I do is: position your product inside existing conversations (not random posts) identify threads where people are already struggling with job search problems structure responses so they don’t get removed but still drive interest and build enough trust on the account so your posts stop getting auto-filtered That way you’re not fighting the rules, you’re working with how Reddit actually distributes visibility. If you’re serious about using Reddit as a channel, we can set up a small trial and get you traction without risking another ban.

    So…Discord is very similar to Reddit, but a wrongdoer is like 13-17 years old instead. They tapped ❌ & 💀 on every single forum post of mine within a few minutes—yet the server owner who shan’t allow spamming (as their rules strictly instruct) said it’s okay. Blocking doesn’t help. They’re now continuing to mess with my older messages by giving weird reactions to the point I have to mute a whole server. What’s wrong with younger people these days 😵‍💫? All I’ve ever done so far is suggesting new harmless features to the application LOL.

    Form44 acquires customers through Reddit. Freelancers post about scope creep, late payments, ghosting after delivery. I reply with real advice and mention Form44 as what I personally use. X is different. X is where I build credibility as a solo founder shipping in public. The two audiences barely overlap. Indie hackers here care about the build. Freelancers on Reddit care about the problem. The mistake is treating them as the same audience. Most niche B2B founders are in exactly this position. Few of them talk about it.

    this guy saw people placing their iPhones on their water bottles and made a product. what if you could scan through X + Reddit + YouTube comments to find a 100x idea? another example: Nivea found that people complained about deodorant marks on black & white clothes, they created one of their best selling products Nivea invisible black & whites from this. the ideas are out there on a random YouTube video, Reddit discussion, or on a shitpost on X. the problem is you’re a human. you only have so much bandwidth. build your own 100x idea machine with AI by following this article I wrote a few days ago… 👇

    Start with people who already feel the pain. Not your friends. Not family. People who have complained about this problem publicly on @Reddit, @X, @LinkedIn, or community groups. They are already telling you they need a solution. Just show up in that conversation.

    @wolffishyy @businessman5959 @FemboyDCS iirc the CEO piledst did an AMA on reddit about the game and most answers boiled down to "we know you want it but its not our main priority rn", so that made a lot of people reach their breaking point

    Microsoft killed Gaming Copilot 14 months after launch. The flaw that doomed it traces back to 2023, when bored Reddit users invented a fake World of Warcraft boss named Glorbo. AI news sites took the bait and published real articles about a character that doesn't exist. Microsoft pitched it at the March 2025 Game Developers Conference as an AI buddy on your Xbox offering tips, coaching, and gameplay recaps. Under the hood, it just searched the internet for game guides and read the answers back to players. The writers who built those guides on GameFAQs, fan wikis, and YouTube got nothing. No credit, no traffic, no revenue. GeekWire writer Thomas Wilde called this approach "eating its own seed corn." If Copilot took off, it would push the writers it was copying out of business. No new guides means no fresh content for the AI to copy. The well runs dry. The prank had already exposed the flaw. Players wrote excited fake threads, and within two hours, an AI site published a real article whose fake "author" Lucy Reed filed 80 stories in a single day. Anyone could feed in nonsense; the system treated it as news. Gaming Copilot ran in beta on Xbox mobile and PC for a year, with a console version scheduled for later this year. Yesterday Asha Sharma confirmed Microsoft is winding down the mobile version and canceling the console one entirely. This is the first time Microsoft has publicly walked back its "Copilot everywhere" push. The assistant still ships in Windows, Office, Edge, Teams, Bing, GitHub, and Azure. All workplace products. The consumer-facing version was the first to die. What replaces it is quieter. AutoSR, a tool using AI to make lower-quality game graphics look sharper. Better game suggestions inside the Xbox storefront. The model works invisibly in the background. The financial pressure made the call easier. Xbox hardware revenue dropped 33% last quarter. Gaming revenue fell from $5.7 billion to $5.3 billion year over year. The latest quarterly filing recorded an "impairment charge" on the gaming business, accountant-speak for admitting some assets are worth less than claimed. Revenue has declined in four of the past six quarters. Sharma also brought four CoreAI executives onto her team. Jared Palmer for engineering. Tim Allen for design. Jonathan McKay for growth. Evan Chaki for internal tooling. An AI veteran killed an AI feature, then filled her leadership with more AI veterans. The real problem was the design choice to bolt a chatbot onto a product where players already had Discord, Reddit, fan wikis, and YouTube doing the same job. The lesson reaches beyond Xbox. Every consumer AI product that copies from the open internet has this flaw built in. Kill the source, and the model has nothing left to learn from. Glorbo was a warning. Microsoft acted on it three years late.

  • TaiTechSolution

    @rkarre566 @tibo_maker You’re already ahead of most founders just by doing that first 👍 Most people rush into posting links, then assume Reddit “doesn’t work” when the real issue was timing + positioning. Once you spend enough time observing, you start noticing: • recurring problems • language patterns • what gets engagement • and the exact moments where a product mention feels natural instead of forced That’s usually where traction starts compounding.

    Reddit doesn't seem to be able to solve the problem that is that the kind of people inclined to be moderators should absolutely not be allowed to do so.

    @IGotIsekaid @jack_all7 @Helldivers_NOW I never used Reddit until I was banned from official Discord. I still don't know why to this day, after 3 appeals. I joined Reddit to join the hype and get news about the game. Possibly I will never call myself a redditor. The majority of my replies were about Helldivers and helping players with crash issues. ImperialGuard and pixel arts are also places I posted replies in a tiny amount.

    AI search just got a boost with expert advice from Reddit and niche forums. Expect sharper answers for hard questions, but trust issues could surface as unverified advice mixes with AI results. Will this redefine reliable search or add new risks?

  • ChinaNet1234
    Chinese Pulse (@ChinaNet1234) reported

    @uytimes The banning of Uyghur Times on Reddit is a serious blow to free press, especially when it comes to highlighting important issues like Uyghur human rights. The outlet provides valuable, fact-checked information about the Uyghur people and their culture, often covering sensitive topics like China's policies. This ban undermines the fight for truth and transparency.
