I should just tell our CEO then that I refuse to use Zoom and fail to show to any and all meetings as well as tasks which require Zoom? That's it then. Privacy is saved.
And that intervention would probably take a while to happen, tbh. I still think defederation should be the absolute last resort, but I've read mod tools are still not on the level to adequately deal with this sort of stuff.
r/place would have been successful even if zero protestors even thought about going there. That's the unfortunate reality. You gotta understand that in terms of traffic (this includes bots and streamers), we're nowhere near reddit to make any difference.
Given that, what would we have accomplished had we just stayed silent? I'm not saying all of us must participate (that would be stupid of me), but we can still do something despite the odds.
A lot of people are blissfully unaware of the protests. A lot of people don't even know spez. Much less knows about the fediverse or other alternatives. I think it's worth it to even get those people thinking why a lot of people are reacting to spez that way.
Another thing I keep forgetting to add is the exposure. I'm honestly shocked at how mamy people are ignorant to the protests. A lot of them don't even know who spez is. Even if they don't leave reddit, they'd at least have an idea of what reddit is becoming.
Would they care? Maybe not. But they can't even decide for themselves if they don't even know wtf is going on.
Ah yes, the old "It's still engagement" angle.
Do you really think it would be a major addition to their views if even a whole major instance of lemmy joined? The bot accounts alone being used there would overshadow the number of lemmings that engage there. And that doesn't even count streamers with tens of thousands of minions. Even if 20,000 lemmings went there, it won't make a mark. A lot of people, shockingly, are still ignorant of what happened. Idk how that's even possible but there you go.
They. Will. Get. Their. Views. Regardless.
Might as well get something out of it.
Your engagement is more important to them than your message.
Not if your message would prevent them from using it for advertisers. They've been removing nipples, dicks, piss, guillotines, etc and people still put them there. How do you think advertisers will react to that when they don't want their brands associated with "unsavory" stuff?
Dang. I forgot about the stutters. It felt... Bloated somehow? Idk how to describe it. Joey, on the other hand, felt pretty "light" to me. Easier to navigate and you can personlize it, too.
As someone who almost drowned as a child, swimming is up there for me.
When one moderator noted that blind mods who can’t effectively moderate after the changes “may be removed at Reddit’s discretion per policy,” Reddit “deferred comment.”
How low can you go?
Reddit: hold my beer.
How is lemmy in terms of accessibility? I hope it goes well for them.
That's what I've been told as well. I think that's why there needs to be approval to appoint mods now. I think the bigger issue is why reddit let that sub remain for as long as it did. It had to be covered by the media for it to be banned (iirc. or was that a different sub?).
Edit: yeah, it was Anderson Cooper who did an expose focusing on that sub.
Sort by new. This isn't reddit.
Still waiting for LinusXI Pro Max.
