I believe it's related to privacyguides.org. The team behind it lost contact with the domain owner of privacytools.io and to continue the project needed to create a new domain.
I believe that's the story if I recall correctly.
I hope the traffic logic gets an improvement. I remember having a lot of weird behavior with lane changes where every car would decide to change lanes at on specific spot on the road and line up to get to that spot.
Looking forward to see what else they'll be improving on.
Large, well-funded organizations
Never heard of these orgs but this sound like they're funded by foreign entities trying to destabilize our democracy. All theoretical of course.
Shouldn't the government prevent this kind of funding? Or at least investigate it? This seems unlikely that they would be funded locally.
Yeah I agree with your comment too. I feel like most communities are really pushing for positive interaction even in the case of disagreement. I've seen only positive interactions so far.
Either way OP appears to have just posted this and left Lemmy unfortunately.
This was bound to happen. On the eve of their IPO, they need to show that the site is running normally and that it shows promise to be profitable.
Now I'm not so sure whoever they pick to be more will be up for the task considering that they have gimped mod tools.
For me it's available but not reliable. There's always something that forces it to shutdown. There are frequent delays and the monthly fees are really getting up there.
Yeah, this seems like a sketchy way of pushing adds. I’m fairly sure ads shouldn’t be pushed in the notification tray.
Your last statement is probably the safest route.
This is certainly a good thing.
I feel like people missed the main point when this all started getting pushed back in the 90s. The campaign was "Reduce, reuse, recycle", but everyone just focused on recycle. The reduce and reuse were mainly ignored, but are the more important aspects than recycle I think.
I find Lemmy generally more welcoming to post comments. Its likely because of the lack of bots and trolls. Let's hope they stay clear from here.
Kind of both. His server has a mirror of the community. When he comments it gets saved on his server and the his server communicates with the original server. In turn the original server also communicates his comment with other federated servers.
They likely didn't go very deep in their research. Like others mentioned they didn't go into the details of the extremely high prices of the API access price.
The removal of the custom thumbnail is refreshing. No more wired reactions with an arrow pointing at something.
I'm going to give this a try. The sponsorblock people have great ideas!
