Endlich wieder mehr Platz für relevante Nachrichten. Die Story hat zwar einige interessante Seiten, aber betrifft niemand, man kann nichts ändern, und wurde mir dafür viel zu oft angezeigt.
Wann verstehen die Mods endlich, dass sie am Ende völlig machtlos sind?
Sind sie nicht: Ihr Widerstand macht
- Missstände sichtbarer (gibt dutzende externe Artikel darüber)
- Die Umsetzung für die Betreiber teurer
Klar bekommen die Protestierenden nicht einfach geschenkt was sie wollten, aber so ist das nun mal bei politischen Kämpfen. Gäbe es die Forderungen geschenkt, wäre erst gar keinen Widerstand entstanden.
Die Haltung der Öffentlichkeit spielt dabei eine große Rolle. Ob sich die Leute mit den Wasserwerfern oder mit den Blockierenden solidarisieren beeinflusst, wie teuer die gewaltsame Räumung ist.
Forderungen werden erst erfüllt, wenn sie günstiger sind als Alternativen.
- Some of the biggest communities like r/pics, r/aww, and r/GIF decided to post John Oliver pictures and GIFs. In a tweet, Oliver approved this move.
- In the case of r/aww, the community is also allowed to post pictures of Chiijohn.
- r/iPhone decided to post pictures celebrating “dashing” Tim Cook.
- r/Shitposting banned posts with the letter k.
- r/Wellthatsucks is now a subreddit about vacuum cleaners.
- r/Nofans is now a passive PC cooler subreddit.
- r/Interestingasfuck removed a lot of all rules apart from asking members to not break site-wide rules.
- r/Memes is allowing only Medieval / Landed Gentry memes. This is in response to Huffman’s “Landed Gentry” comment about protesting subreddits.
- r/PokemonGo is now allowing pictures of John Oliver, Pikachu, or Spark.
- r/Horny is now a “Christian Minecraft server.”
- r/Steam members are posting about actual steam.
- r/HarryPotter is now referring to Huffman as Voldemort.
- Some subreddits such as r/Showerthoughts are determining close days for the community.
Glorious.
Also, der Titel lautet “Lemmy-Entwickler in der Kritik”: es geht weniger um die Software, sondern darum, dass der Entwickler als Admin offenbar zensiert, weil es ihm politisch halt doch gegen den Strich geht (gegen Russland oder China), auf einer Instanz die eigentlich allen offensteht (aber halt seine ist).
Ich würde gerne zwischen diesen beiden Rollen unterscheiden; Software-Entwickler und Instanz-Admin.
Da die Vorwürfe sich auf seine Handlungen als Admin beziehen sehe ich erstmal nicht, inwiefern ihn das als Entwickler diskreditiert.
Natürlich ist denkbar, dass die Grenze zwischen den Rollen verschwimmt (ist ja schließlich auch die selbe Person). Aber genau an der Stelle würde es für mich kritisch werden, nicht vorher.
Als Entwickler verhält er sich, soweit ich das bisher oberflächlich gesehen habe, sehr neutral und weist explizit auf die Möglichkeit hin, dass andere mit anderer Meinung ~~seine~~ die Software kostenlos nutzen können.
Und die Vorwürfe gegen ihn als Admin relativiert das auch wieder. Wem's nicht passt, kann ja einfach zu anderen Admins gehen.
Dem Risiko, er könne als Entwickler irgendwie rumtanken (mir unklar was das sein sollte, aber nur mal so hypothetisch), begegnen wir vielleicht am besten damit, selbst mehr zu entwickeln. Dann ist er irgendwann nur noch einer von vielen in der Entwicklung.
"And, as Putin said yesterday, one of the tasks was to demilitarise Ukraine. In fact, this task is largely completed. Ukraine is using less and less of its weapons. And more and more it uses the weapons systems that Western countries supply it with."
Ah, the subtle differences between demilitarization and upgrading to NATO standards.
If his statement had ever anything to do with reality. Probably just feel-good words directed at the domestic audience.
Ah cool, die kannte ich noch nicht: Smash Cruiseshit

Forderungen
Die Aktivist*innen fordern den sofortige Stopp dieser kapitalistischen Ausbeutungspraxis. Kreuzfahrtunternehmen sollen für die ökologischen und sozialen Schäden, die sie verursachen, zur Rechenschaft gezogen werden. Es braucht gemeinschaftliche Perspektiven und Wirtschaftsprozesse, die allen Menschen ein gutes Leben ermöglichen!
„Es müssen neue Wege gefunden werden, wie Menschen ihr Bedürfnis nach Erholung befriedigen können. Wenn Erholung die Zerstörung von Lebensgrundlagen bedeutet, befinden wir uns in einem Teufelskreislauf, der uns nur immer weiter in die Krise treibt und verheerende Folgen haben wird“
I like what /r/pics did.
We – the so-called "landed gentry" – appreciate that Reddit is made great by its users. Uncompensated contributors populate the platform's many communities with their content, just as volunteer moderators keep spam and bigotry at bay. Since neither we nor Reddit would be here without you, it was only fair to let you determine what /r/Pics should include... and you overwhelmingly chose to feature only images of John Oliver looking sexy. (Seriously, the final vote was -2,329 to 37,331.)
As such, /r/Pics will henceforth feature only images of John Oliver looking sexy.
It's great, have a scroll. No intent to derail, here's the thread on !reddit@lemmy.ml: https://lemmy.world/post/206467
I wonder if a similar stunt would have been possible for /r/antiwork. Any ideas? How about: "You must rest on weekdays. Posts and comments are only allowed on weekends."
Whenever you see inserted words, please imagine an awkwardly moving but very colorful parrot squawking it.
The ability to ~~find and~~ make these ~~connections~~ prrrofits is incredibly important to ~~many people~~ ourrr sharrreholders, and ensuring that active communities are able to remain [a] stable and active ~~(and open)~~ source of prrrofits is very important forrr us!
Our goal here is to work ~~with~~ the existing mod team ~~to find a path forward~~ into exile and make sure your subreddit is usable for the ~~community~~ company which makes its ~~home~~ monnney here.
"There is no such thing as a free lunch", they said :(
To pull more of the article into the comment section:
The Republican Study Committee (of which some three-quarters of House Republicans are members) on Wednesday released its desired 2024 budget, in which the party boldly declares its priority to eliminate the Community Eligibility Provision, or CEP, from the School Lunch Program. Why? Because “CEP allows certain schools to provide free school lunches regardless of the individual eligibility of each student.”
Of note is that the CEP is not even something every school participates in; it is a meal service program reserved for qualifying schools and districts in low-income areas. The program enables schools that predominantly serve children from low-income backgrounds to offer all students free breakfast and lunch, instead of means-testing them and having to manage collecting applications on an individual basis. As with many universal-oriented programs, it is more practically efficient and, as a bonus, lifts all boats. This is what Republicans are looking to eliminate.
It’s the kind of provision that many would want every school to participate in. Why not guarantee all our children are well fed as they learn and think about our world and their place in it, after all?
I find this post at a moment when the show has already started (as can be seen on https://blackout.photon-reddit.com/ and https://reddark.untone.uk/ )
But the article is 3 days old. It seems many did not expect that much unity from subreddits going dark. 2.5 billion affected subscribers is quite something!
I'm still in hopes they change their mind in light of recent events. Don't think they will though.
Most Switch Owners Are Women, Gamers React Poorly
Interesting title. As if "Women" and "Gamers" were two distinct groups.
As I understood the article, the danger is that large actors like these are too important too ignore. Too many users, too much content to neglect. So while in theory you are obviously right, in reality there will be a temptation to cater to their needs, because it seems so worthwhile.
