They were lying. They said they supported self-determination to throw out the existing laws, and with those laws gone they passed laws that enforced their morals, which was the ultimate end goal.
Unfortunate but predictable. Reddit and u/spez have decided that third-party apps are going to die, and nothing is going to stop them. The “talks” they were offering to interested devs were always just a show, as this clearly demonstrates.
Oh yeah, the search on Discord is abysmal. Especially considering that you can’t use Google to help, Reddit at least was public facing so Google searches would often find Reddit posts.
Indeed. Right now Voyager and Thunder are my two favorite ways to browse Lemmy.
Discord isn’t a good alternative, it’s not the same type of social media site. Discord is more of a chatroom aggregator, while Reddit is more of a forum aggregator. While Reddit technically supports chats and Discord technically supports threads, in both cases they’re clunky and not the main point of the site.
Yeah, that tip is applicable for a lot of people who understand what sex is, this isn’t something that really goes away with age in a lot of cases.
I’m not surprised at all, income data is really useful when doing targeted advertising. This kind of sale should be illegal of course, because our tax data should be sensitive in the same legal or medical data is, but I don’t think Meta’s going to see any consequences for this.
It’s because they claim that they don’t actually do any deliveries, they just maintain the tech platform that connects independent contractors to delivery jobs. They do this for legal reasons, because if you think about it all jobs technically just connect people to tasks that they complete.
Absolutely. Sunaurus’s communication and the friendliness of this instance is why I came here when VLemmy went down. I have nothing but praise for the way this instance is run and for its performance.
Welcome @Matt_Glan@lemm.ee and @Aris@lemm.ee. I may be new to this instance, but I have always held a high opinion of lemm.ee and am happy to see the admin team expand!
Threads is new but not novel. It’s essentially just Meta Twitter and is using Facebook and Instagram to give it automatic momentum.
Indeed, no one has heard anything yet. It’s very strange, I hope the VLemmy admin is ok.
That’s really cool. This is a good use-case example of Mastadon, the government can run its own official instance for announcements and information without impacting other instances
Indeed. Not many people hopped ship, but those who did were disproportionately power users, mods, and other content generators. Because of that, I’ve heard that Reddit content generation has somewhat slowed.
It could also be that they never implemented custom emoticons, which are what caused the security issue. Even still, I would recommend confirming with your server admin.
I think it was 15 or 16 in the days before it fell.
The sudden death of VLemmy and temporary closing of lemmy.world pushed a bunch of people here I think.
Tech enthusiasts tend to make up the early adopters of a new social media platform, and programmers tend to have some level of passion for technology.
No, not yet.
