Not going to sleep even harder

I use it since they cripple the NSFW access for 3rd party apps, and most of my front page are videos, it loads so.... slooww..... and tapping one video will bring you to this tiktok-like interface where if you swipe up it'll load the next video in that subreddit instead of the next post in my front page.

comparing that to Sync for Reddit that doesn't experience any stutter and loads the video blazing fast, the experience really feels like a downgrade...

there are also the little stuffs like less customizability for color schemes, hiding awards, comment padding, font sizes, font styles, etc.

I thought it's just because the british empire is like a plague that's spreading everywhere..

Nah man, my friend plays GTA and the next morning he got hit by a bicycle, that's very dangerous

This is the gist: https://ploum.net/2023-06-23-how-to-kill-decentralised-networks.html

Basically, big companies can destroy decentralised network from within once big enough people adopt it.

What they do is

1. Embrace - adopt the network with their own proprietary system, like Threads for example, as opposed to other system in the fediverse right now that are open source.

2. Extend - spend resources like money, manpower, and even extensive knowledge on how to expand and make the network a better place with a lot more features while simultaneously promoting and making so that only their proprietary app can access it in the best way.

3. Exterminate / Extinguish - once they have good amount of users, they can start crippling the other side, like maybe Threads can see posts from Lemmy and Mastodon but not the other way around, people are gonna think that Threads is superior and leaving the original instances. They can also pull back resources like even the people who used to work on developing the network that they used to give so generously before, and such the maintainer now has no way to keep up in developing the network.

Also known as the EEE tactic https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Embrace,_extend,_and_extinguish

more niche / specific communities are just starting here but on reddit they're already thriving. I'll visit reddit from time to time to keep up with the latest thing in those, though my time there has been cut significantly.

in other hand, I really wish we could stop with reddit-related questions in this community... ask those in /c/reddit instead

uh, no. If we're all lurkers then there'll be no content here

Listen here u lil shit

Any link to that thread? I'm out of the loop

there's a couple of points here

1. current website is version 0.17.4 (you can check this at the very bottom)
2. version 0.18 is ready, but there's no captcha yet (the thing where you have to identify objects on squares, or click a box that'll turn into checkmark)
3. without captcha, bot accounts (not real users) can register to the site too easily
4. so we're gonna wait for version 0.18.1, the one with captcha active.
5. the Jerboa app, the android app for browsing Lemmy has also recently updated, and will only work for Lemmy version 0.18 up, thus it's advised to use another app or just the web for now

note : the site version 0.18 is already out for the main Lemmy instance, which is lemmy.ml, but lemmy.world (where we are now) is gonna wait for version 0.18.1
