I wish something in the license of activity pub could have prevented corporate espionage. Make no mistake, meta will absolutely dominate and kill off the fediverse
agreed. as others have stated. Transparency. But also, new software, new tech (in a way, the fediverse/activity pub), and hopefully a new beginning. Happy to be here. If not technically on the ground level (lemmy has been around for a short time before we knew reddit was going to implode), close to it!
Sorry, I'm new here. Isn't Radio Sputnik Russian state media? Which could be considered propaganda, which would break rule 3?
Also, is this some of the "tankie" content that lemmy opponents have been citing? I know this is lemmy.ml and that this may be the type of content they want here, so I hope I'm not offending anyone.
“The ongoing strike, spurred by Huffman’s plan to charge fees to third-party apps that serve up Reddit content,”
Then it goes on to talk about commercial AIs scraping reddit data through their api for deep learning for free.
But the reality is people weren’t upset about the api charge, they were upset at the exorbitant price they released. There are so many other ways to be fair and to stop commercial use if that was really an issue. Plus, I wouldn’t be surprised if reddit is being scraped without the api from the front facing website anyway.
Then, reddit double downed and spez just made a complete ass of himself. I could have done a better job as CEO, that guy is unqualified and delusional. If he stays at the helm reddit will surely sink
This is what’s beautiful in open source. I wonder if any one has had any luck making the old.Reddit nesting style yet
Can’t say I’m surprised. I’m sure they’ll stop people from deleting their own content off soon too. It’s amazing how short sighted they can be burning the community that gave them the decades of free content that made Reddit popular.
Don’t know how to help but agree on how important search is. Which might be even harder to do given federation.
Also upvote for firefly user name
Oh wow, suddenly that makes sense. I open minded but I think that’s going in the wrong direction. Should just de-federate that one until they get cleaned up? Normally against that but honestly have seen quite a few threads against lemmy as a whole as a result of .ml
Honestly, I brought up the issue in a top 1% subreddit by population and I got downvoted into oblivion. The few that would engage were just like "stfu", and "lol no" and "I don't care"
god it's terrifying and so true. I didn't realize how addicated I was to apollo until muscle memory just kept clicking the damn app!
how recently were you a mod on reddit? I've been trying to raise discussions on various communities that I follow about a possible migration and I'm receiving a lot of indifference from the userbase. However, I feel like the mod userbase feels differently given the widespread blackout (many of these communities joined the blackout but it seems like a lot of their users are unaware or unconcerned with the changes.)
my question is do you think the mods are more sympathetic to migrating platforms?
Maybe it’s easier if all your resources aren’t slowed down by board meetings solely for the purpose of “how can we monetize this”
That’s what happens when you put profit ahead of function. Putting the cart before the horse something something
