  • Everything has LEDs now and they drive me nuts

    Jump

  • Yes! I had to use tape to black out the LEDs on devices in my bedroom because I could see all manner of blinking lights once I dimmed the room lights.

  • Hah, this is what I liked the most about reddit - learning random bits of knowledge about things I knew nothing about. I'm glad to see this happen here too!

  • Zuckerberg’s ‘Twitter killer’ Threads hits 70m sign-ups in two days

  • Or...not at all.

  • Taliban Endorses Twitter Over Threads

    Jump

  • The taliban and Musk share the same values, then - to both of them, free speech means "you can say anything, as long as its what I like".

  • Hot Take: The toxic attitude towards Threads (and anything not part of the Fediverse) is driving me away from Lemmy

    Jump

  • There are a lot of vocal anti-threads people but theres also a lot of people(like me) who don't care as much, I just seldom post about it.

  • Don't follow the manual, follow what I say!

  • Lol good on you for asking for it to be documented. Dumbass manager

  • Aggregated data is always scary.

  • Reddit protest updates: news on the apps shutting down and Reddit’s fights with mods - The Verge

    Jump

  • You can still delete manually. I sorted my comments by top and edited them to gibberish.

  • Reddit protest updates: news on the apps shutting down and Reddit’s fights with mods - The Verge

    Jump

  • Is that right? I was under the impression majority opened back up.

    Tbh I don't really care either way, I haven't been on reddit for 3 weeks now.

  • 10 days after 3rd party reddit app shutdown, Lemmy's top 10 instances combine for a thriving userbase of 234,000

    Jump

  • Nobody's ever gonna have an accurate answer.

  • I agree, reddit got too big to be fun. That said lemmy still needs to get bigger in order for communities to actually thrive.

  • Zuckerberg’s ‘Twitter killer’ Threads hits 70m sign-ups in two days

    Jump

  • They got 70m users in a few days. Mastodon has a few million after a year. I don't think Meta cares about us at all!

  • Man who stole more than $23 million in YouTube music royalties scam faces 70-month prison sentence

    Jump

  • You wouldn't trade 1 year of your life for nearly 4 million dollars?

  • I'm not refusing to "get" anything, this is just a well-worn argument that's been tested. Yes, there will be people who scroll past but the net outcome is still more clicks into the website. Literally the same thing has happened in other countries. Spain tried to do the same thing and lobbied the government to enact a very similar law, Google news pulled out, and then the news organizations started seeing drops in their revenues and they had to persuade the government to reverse decisions. What do you think is going to happen here? In the end everything will go back to the way it was, except some lobbyists and lawyers will be richer and Canadians/Australians will be inconvenienced by having one less news aggregator to use for a period of time.

  • Reddit is going to remove mods of private communities unless they reopen — ‘This is a courtesy notice to let you know that you will lose moderator status in the community by end of week.’

    Jump

  • I personally just sorted my comments by top scoring and manually changed some of my top comments to random gibberish! That doesn't get restored!

  • How to Kill a Decentralised Network (such as the Fediverse)

    Jump

  • The fediverse doesn't need to scale to make money, but it needs to scale to a point where there are thriving communities. One thing I loved about reddit was stumbling upon a new sun full of people talking about the most obscure shit. Lemmy still has some ways to go to get there!

  • Everything is a subscription model now. You wanna hear a song on Spotify, same deal

  • The Reddit app-pocalyse is here: Apollo, Sync, and BaconReader go dark | Many major third-party apps are finally shutting down.

    Jump

  • Given all the antics by the company and the despicable behavior by spez and his henchmen, my position on reddit has gone from "I'll use it much less now that my mobile app is gone and I only have desktop access" to "I will go out of my way to avoid providing value to the company even if it inconveniences me".

    I just spent the better part of 5 hours yesterday manually deleting all my top comments from reddit. They can revoke edits made by pushshift, but they won't be able to figure out which manual edits to revoke. I used to give out technical advice on reddit and I used to get messages thanking me for posts I made years ago. Now all of those posts are gone.
