This seems enough to me to sue them on grounds of violating the GDPR. Not sure where spez is going with this but paying GDPR fines will most definitely not do any good to reddit's profitability lol

Personally I've left it for good. Lemmy is so active and diverse I don't miss reddit at all. I'm still sometimes looking at it through Boost, but come July 1st I'll be gone forever

Big tech overhired. There is still a massive number of companies that are in dire need of software devs. They won't pay 300k though

This is the perfect comment, I laughed so hard

I mean Prigozin has been advertising his eventual turning against Putin for a while, but I didn't think it would happen as a full on military coup

Is there a malicious compliance community on Lemmy yet?

Moved today. A big part of what I enjoy on reddit is reading comments and with how active communities are over here, I just might be here to stay!

Why are you here if you like bootlicking reddit?

This would be huge, but also very worrying. Russia can fuck out of Ukraine, but it's not gonna get anymore stable or peaceful when Prigozin of all people takes over the government

Playing airsoft milsim games. I like to pretend being a soldier once in a while I guess, and Idk why I like it, but I would never want to be one for real or fight in a war. It doesn't really fit my personality because I'm otherwise pretty calm and anti conflict. Dunno what it is, it's legitimately hard to explain and people like to judge you for it because it looks like you're insane

Brand new sentence

You can't censor people's opinions on the internet. If you lock them out everywhere they set up their own site, and they've got every right to do so. Banning certain unwanted opinions has never and will never work, that's not how you deal with extremism effectively.

Seems to me like they're not really fit for the fediverse if they are just gonna defederate everyone, but whatever, they have every right to do it

Has the websocket api been removed from Lemmy with this update?

This really is the stupidest timeline

almost as if that's just human behavior

Damn these things really do look exactly the same everywhere

Omg I was just getting on track developing my own Lemmy app based on websockets and now they are being removed... welp

I have been working a lot on my own Lemmy app that is based exclusively on the websocket api. Picture my face when I read that they removed it entirely in v18 😵‍💫

Should've paid attention I guess
