Under the latest plans, tech companies would need to notify the British government before rolling out a security fix but might be refused permission if it blocks a vulnerability that’s being exploited by security services…

I suppose these days it's cheaper to find some half baked vulnerability and pray it lasts a while instead of just adding back doors in the devices

They're important. People found value in the questions or answers she provided on the site.

People who receive backlash/hate are often put in positions where they have to work harder to prove themselves.

Jon Skeet on SO was treated like a God and a meme because his score was so high it reset.

Her using whatever form of merit that we have to demonstrate her skillset is totally valid.

Anyone can learn how to code. What separates the hobbyist from the professional is the amount of time they're willing to put in.

They don't give a shit about what a company is doing today, except to the extent it is predictive of the future. Investors look at this and see lots of activity of users who actively hate the company, that's not future growth

Yes. And if you look at Reddit today, it's still alive and full of buzz.

The third-party app userbase was a small percentage of the site.

Most people are indifferent and so they keep using it.

They don't care. You're not even bed bugs to these people. You're just the siren that's heard 20 blocks away downtown at 10 pm.

No biggie. Par of the course.

At least the picture can convey the protest message so they know we aren't going to move past it that easily.

As if that means anything to them?

You're a minority.

don't go to reddit other than to spread to good word of Lemmy and to downvote admins so I think that has more benefit to us than to them.

Reddit admins ABSOLUTELY RUINED by frequent EXPLETIVES and DOWNVOTES

I look at it this way: it sucks, but it's not surprising - it's expected. There's no reason for them to cater to the users, because that's not how these things work. The people who made this decision

(a) mostly care about money

(b) were obviously willing to lose the favor of Reddit's users for money

(c) have built a platform who's monetization model has become somewhat at odds with what made Reddit good in the first place

(d) are probably going to succeed in making money from Reddit

It's sad, it really sucks. But, there's nothing we can really do about it, apart from things like post memes mocking Spez or making subreddits go "dark".

Neither of those are long term solutions.

I'd rather we moved on and let it go, tbh. We could be doing a lot more

Don't we want these big platforms to adopt ActivityPub?

No. We don't. The more hands they have in the fediverse pie, the more influence they have over it. The more influence they have, the more control. The more control, the more at the whim of their decisions you are. The more at the whim of their decisions, the more power they have over you.

This should be common sense at this point.
