They likely were for outdoor units. An outdoor box in a hot climate exposed to the sun could easily reach 160f internally, and that’s hot enough to start softening and potentially warping the DVD plastics or causing problems with the LCD control screen.

Ah okay, yeah they probably don’t have the backend servers for it as it has grown slowly if at all over the past year. Revolt is meant to be run on independent self hosted backends similar to Lemmy (only without federation) but humans are going to be humans, and simply pile into the one largest, most common Revolt instance and cause huge traffic problems.

Revolt: Voice chat is not stable. They do not accept new registrations.

That’s news to me. Where do they not allow new accounts signing up???

Yeah, and my honest response to that is “too damn bad”. Reddit is a dying platform and they will continue to abuse you for profit.

I got banned for reporting obvious spam bots and Reddit never even responded to an appeal. They don’t give a flying fuck about any user. Make an alt and run the gauntlet of the automatic ban evasion detection, or never go back again. Those are your options, sucks to suck.

Does it fucking matter? Take the hint. You can still log into your account and edit comments. Wipe that shit clean then close your account and never look back. Nothing there is worth participating in anymore.
