Here's the original post from a year ago with a (somewhat) better video.

util.php - The PHP programmers best friend by thinkvitaminin PHP

So basically a few general utilities and a bunch of WordPress functions as static methods (not saying that's necessarily bad, most of these are very useful).

Not anymore, now that they partnered with Spotify I can play my own music in the car, which is pretty awesome.

RIP Hae Min Lee (1980 - 1999): "Out of respect for the memory of Hae Min Lee the subreddit will fall silent for a day" by PowerOfYesin serialpodcast

[–]0drew0 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

This subreddit wouldn't EXIST without Hae Lee the Serial podcast.

We can argue all day about whether Serial would exist without Hae Lee, but you've kind of illustrated my point for me. The subreddit exists for the podcast. It's named for the podcast.

And even if there had been no Hae Lee, it's almost inevitable that something like Serial would have happened anyway. It's basically a single This American Life episode spun off as a multi-part series.

It's not about whether Hae's memory is important. This subreddit doesn't exist to celebrate Hae Min Lee. That's the point.

One of the Best and Certainly the Cutest Gay Movie i've ever seen. Would totally recommend! by Lamboo-in gaybros

[–]0drew0 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I managed to download the full-length film awhile back with subtitles. The official DVD is available for pre-order on Amazon though. Can't wait!

Again, it's not about the intent. It's about the execution. You're missing the point. You're reading people's bewilderment of the mods' actions as disrespect to Hae, and we're reading the mods' actions as disrespect to what this subreddit exists for. It's as simple as that.

Look, it doesn't make it any less true that she was a character in the story Serial season 1 told. Yes, it was groundbreaking that they told a true story, but they're still characters in the story. If you want to call it something else, that's your prerogative.

I think it's more that this move played favor to one person's request without any input from the 40k subscribers here. And it's undeniable that while Hae should be remembered in some form, it's not this subreddit's job to do that. Next season will be a completely different story. Will we shut it down for a day again next year? Because it's going to seem just as absurd then as it did yesterday, at least for me.

Yeah, this sub is not the place for memorializing Hae. This sub is about a podcast, not about feelings.

They appear to be other general reddit users who only know about this because it's on the front page (at least if you're subscribed)

It would only be on their front page if they were subscribers. So are you saying that the opinions of subscribers who read more than comment (lurk) are somehow less important?

There's nothing wrong with the request /u/Krista_whs99 made, the problem is that the mods never should have granted it.

The first season was focused on the brutal death of a young girl. Look, I agree that Hae deserves remembering, but I, like many of the others who were here yesterday commenting, don't think this is the place for such memoriams. This is a sub about a podcast, not about Hae. Shutting it down for a day serves no purpose other than to provide feel good karma for the mods.

this isn't about you or me... It's about finding peace and Justice for Hae discussing a podcast.

FTFY

[–]0drew0 -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Here's the thing: this sub is for followers of a podcast, and while Hae was the principal character in the first season of that podcast, it's completely absurd to close down the sub for a day just because it's the anniversary of her death.

By all means, sticky a post on the front page that links to the scholarship fund. But honestly, this was really poorly executed on the moderators' part.

Why is the Funny or Die video acceptable, but not the Best Buy tweet? by omcguirein serialpodcast

[–]0drew0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like with the FoD parody it was in good fun because they were capitalizing on the suspense building up to the last episode, and they weren't directly addressing a frustrating piece of the puzzle.

The Best Buy tweet seemed to be almost in poor taste.
