I haven't tried it, but it's cool there are more alternatives.
Try revancedapp.
That's the way, it's important to not go back there, communities will appear because people like you and me will create an alternative to that communities.
Knowing that any information you share publicly can be stolen, I think the way Lemmy's instances have the original comment after you deleted it could help counteract people manipulating what you said after you deleted it, such as making a quote and editing "your" original post after it was deleted. But this could give a lot of power to the admins as well, as they could be the ones manipulating.
It's necessary for some important information and guides that would otherwise be destroyed on Reddit, we have to bring these informative posts and guides here.
I checked the torrent from the official site and it linked to the same files as the scammy site ones I have seeding. I guess I missed the bullet this time.
Thank you very much, I just checked the torrent from there and it links to the torrent I downloaded from the scammy site. I am relieved XD
Wait, I got a torrent from www.1377x.to, it's https, the other gets blocked by the browser. 🤔
I hope it wasn't a virus, the torrent had many seeds...
Users will pay as always.
I mean most of the mods used third party applications as tools to do their job. With the API changes, almost all third party apps will die, so all mods will lose their tools.
I'm not a mod and can't exactly understand the situation, but I guess third party apps had easier to use and better/more tools than what official Reddit gives them, so that's it.
They aren't the same, you'll see many communities with the same name in different instances. I'm still a newbie here, but what I do is to follow only the most popular one.
Remember that most instances are federated and some users or mods from any of the communities in different instances will make reposts from that communities on other instances, so there's a possibility you'll see a lot of duplicated posts.
