It's because he just regurgitates all his takes from /g/ on 4chan.

Elon's done with people blocking his shit takes. You will be forced to see the bitcoin scams no matter what!!!

I'm not a fan of Pixelfed, or instaclones. But the idea of a messenger e2ee that works with all the fedi is such a awesome idea.

with that price tag, I'm surprised more people aren't copying that floppy.

Reddit is a lot of peoples only form of community, especially if it's obscure interests. Without it your more or less trapped in your local area.

The transformation is complete we are officially better than reddit.

It's because a system where everything is controlled by one person is so commonplace that any other idea seems foreign and impossible, or more often these days not profitable.

web3 was always a cryptocurrency scam and was doomed to fail. Federation is more a return to the early web with a way to link everything together to compete and get similar services to megacorps while distributing costs.

I think having the defaults set to global instead of local when searching will make it easier for new users to find communities and only show a few lemmy instances that are good to show for new users, the biggest complaint is that lemmy ( and all federated services ) are too complicated trying to find a instance.

Thanks for the heads up; I should have used the preview button.

In the comments, though, ReddPlanet’s developer (u/lupeski, aka Tony Lupeski) said “this is a blatant lie,” noting that he had tried multiple times to get in contact with Reddit regarding these changes and had been ignored. Another indie app developer said they had filled out a request for Enterprise API access three times and had received no response. They're not even giving api access to people who could pay. What lying shits.
