The last few releases of Jerboa have been atrocious. It’s currently crashing when backing out of activities, voting, or commenting. I tried Thunder but the UI is extremely confusing for me.

You’re right about advertising, but they also are a legal target. Any platform that has sex related content on it will eventually feel pressure from their country’s government. It just takes one incident and

I reckon platforms see them as a burden due to the volume of regulation that they inevitably become saddled with, or face penalties. Hence why tumblr rolled the dice on removing it all, Reddit is restricting ease of access, and Pornhub purged most of its content.

I’m interested to see how the Fediverse will handle it when it eventually comes this way.

Another Podcast Addict user here. But I don’t think they pay the Podcasters anything if that’s your concern. If you’re listening to Joe Rogan, don’t pay him a penny. Pirate the shit out of his podcasts. But maybe you should consider giving to Patreon if you don’t already. They take a cut but at least you know its going to the podcaster.

Also you really should know that Tidal isn’t paying anyone any better, no platform is. They’re all beholden to rights holders, and that is mostly record labels and their parent companies. No platform pays per stream, that’s a myth. Spotify just distributes all the money left after their 30%. Blame the labels for making audio so unprofitable and for the average listener for treating music and podcasts as disposable,

Before you think I’m defending spotify, I’m not. They tried to make an unprofitable product profitable and they did it by selling out to record labels. Spotify could have made them irrelevant but chose not to.

It’s the first meta joke this place has had. Someone asked how not to shit for 3 days and for some reason it made its way around the site.

Seems like we’re all still redditors at heart after all lmao

Twitter and Reddit have really thrown the idea that the “elite” are somehow smarter or more competent into disrepute. They are literally just ideologues.

Actually it’s not as easy as yout make it sound.

If you Google “Lemmy” you get images of the guy from motorhead. I’ve even done site searches with specific instances and a lot don’t show up at all. Beehaw, sh.it, and kbin.social were very difficult to find with Google.

I use Bitwarden for both passwords and TOTP. So much easier than messing around with multiple apps.

The same individuals who benefit from Reddit as a training ground for AI also have a stake in Reddit. They are transferring money from one pocket to another.

Either you are misguided or you know what you want to say would be considered bigotry and expect to have your voice heard by everyone.

Trans people don’t need to “think critically” about why they disagree with anti-trans comments. It’s not “healthy” for trans people to be constantly reminded that there’s a % of the population that want them gone. It’s not ignorance, it’s a done debate. It’s a waste to debate people who’s aim is to open the dialogue up to extremist viewpoints.

You should just make new posts of unique content instead of ripping posts from Reddit. Recycled memes doesn’t make a community - interaction does

What would this achieve? Mods who’ve spent years building their communities aren’t going to hurt their reputation just so you can live out a fantasy of burning Reddit to the ground. We get it, it hurts to lose a community. But if you’re done with Reddit, post content here that makes this place better. For now at least, Reddit and Kbin/Lemmy will exist together. There’s not going to be a Diggesque switchover to this platform, there’s too many people who just don’t share our concerns, amongst other blockers. This is doubly so if the only unique content here is complaining about Reddit.

Basically, live and let live. Some people will find their way here in due time. Spez is doing a fine job of butchering Reddit himself. He doesn’t need help.

Not a lot much else going on here, sadly.

One completely out of touch ideologue praising another isn’t surprising but it is shocking how such incompetent people can land positions like this.

It’s not too late for Reddit to claw some of it’s reputation back, but this guy needs to step down for it to happen.

uBlock Origin runs in FF - works on FF for Android too.

This is a balanced take. Reddit probably is ok with new front page subs taking over. I guess newer users who don’t care about 3rd party apps will take over as core users.

This is probably true. The front page is not barren, there’s plenty of users being active. The subs I frequented are still dark so there’s nothing for me, but it’s clear that Reddit isn’t going to start begging for us back yet.

It’s not getting as much discussion time around these parts but Discord seems like its gonna be the true reddit successor. Honestly, this makes me sad because Discord feels like jumping into a stream of consciousness.

Since things are new here, it might be a good idea to let people know what they are getting into for moderation duties.

It would be good to have some info to hand, like what mod tools are available, what kind of sitewide rules they must follow, what kind of community rules they can enforce, etc.

Not sure I agree that it’s “cruel” but it is definitely heavy-handed. It’s really just a way of enforcing the “lurk more” attitude of old forums at scale.

Telling 20 new accounts each day to read a few posts before making their own gets old fast. It also prevents harassment from day-old troll accounts. It’s not perfect but it is a better solution than doing nothing at all.

Accounts were never shadowbanned for year long periods. I remade my accounts multiple times and never had to wait more than a few weeks before being fully active, minus a few niche subs with oddly strict rules.

I’d be interested in a response to this (that isn’t “hurr durr just wank bro”) because I don’t want it in my feed but that goes against the whole “no curated feed” philosophy.
