RIP Red(dit) tape

Welcome to Thursday. Remember Google’s cheeky ad from yesterday? Well, looks like Pixel’s marketing team poked too soon: People are reporting broken screens on their new foldable devices, less than 24 hours after its release. Ouchies. Anywho, have you seen this video of Domino’s using a jetpack to deliver pizza to Glastonbury festival? Pretty rad.

• Explore a new social network
• Let AI plan your next venture
• Charge what you’re really worth

Chaos = opportunity: Following Reddit's unpopular move to charge developers hefty fees for access to their API, it's no surprise the resulting rumble gave rise to rumors of replacements.

At the forefront of this buzz? squabbles: A new social network claiming to be the unofficial lovechild of Reddit and Twitter’s best features.

Best of both worlds: “Twitter is great for following notable people, but the UI doesn't facilitate conversation very well,” observes squabbles founder Jake Lee. “Reddit is great for conversations, but not good for following people. There needed to be something in between the two… So I decided to create it.”

Like on Twitter and Reddit, “squabblers” can: Follow people, be followed, tweet, have in-depth, multi-person conversations, and browse communities built around topics of interests.

Developers welcome: squabbles already has an API and a third-party developer community making use of it, including a bot that reports on the daily news out of Ukraine, and “several iOS and Android apps being built at a rapid pace,” reports product and engineering lead Dylan Husted.

Being kind, by design: “There's a strong [community] foundation of simply being welcoming and kind, which has been noticeably absent at Reddit and Twitter lately,” reflects Husted.

“This effect is achieved by design: You pick your communities without ending up in an echo chamber; you say your piece without fear of the downvote.”
