If a company has no competition, being a monopoly, it's basically free to do whatever it wants. Youtube controls the video streaming market of the internet. If they choose to not pay content creators, to run 10 ads in a row every 3 minutes, or to ban content creators for saying something their automods think is a bad word, what will you do? Where else will you turn? Odds are there's nothing for you on Vimeo. So you either make do with how Youtube operates, or you don't get to watch cat videos, or video essays on WW2, or playthroughs of Super Mario Sunshine, or what have you.

I hope more big names leave Reddit now. The MC devs are already pretty big, of course

Call of Duty is using clones of real players to mess with cheaters | Engadget
This actually sounds like a coverup in an SCP article.
"At 1700 hours the foundation became aware of an unknown digital entity in the video game Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 that would only make itself aware to cheaters. Foundation assets within Activision has announced this as a new anti-cheat system."

A post-dieselpunk city

It's the Bing one, and it's actually an AI generated prompt too
Generate a captivating image of a post-dieselpunk, emerging solarpunk cityscape. Picture a metropolis adorned with soaring airships, powered by both steam and solar energy. Gritty, industrial structures boasting art deco facades stand alongside eco-friendly skyscrapers adorned with vertical gardens and solar panels. The blend of retro-futuristic aesthetics and sustainable technology paints a striking scene of harmony between nature and industry in this vibrant urban landscape

I love the idea of anti-cheat that doesn't just ban cheaters, but messes with them and makes them waste their time

New Zealand says it's the first to ban thin plastic bags from supermarkets
Is it? I remember hearing about someone else being first. Can't remember who though, southern hemisphere I think. I think they even banned all plastic packaging.

Does Lemmy display a users main server anywhere on a users profile or some such?
Reply in thread
Yeah, as I understand (probably poorly) your account is based on one server but can access all other servers as well, in this case is the server a user is based on visible somewhere?
