If I were world dictator I would just make advertising illegal. It's the perfect dictator move. Simple policy that's hard to enforce which will almost certainly have unintended consequences. But God damn do I hate advertising.

We've been warning about dangerous infrastructure for years now. It'll only get worse until we start building for the next millennium.

"We wanted the user to feel a sense of pride and accomplishment by struggling through the dog-shit Reddit interface."

They still got the frame completely wrong, unless there's a different radio segment I didn't hear. The one I heard was mostly from an expert I had never heard from before who made it seem like "the developers" were mad because they had to pay. They included a single throwaway line from Chris. (I think that's the Apollo dev's name.) No mention they the pricing was clearly intended to be unreasonable.

I dunno, all boots taste of leather.

"Non-commercial" is still going to kill all development for all the third party apps regardless. This is surprisingly worse than their original decision, because now they can try and pretend like it's other people's problems to make their website accessable.

I can't verify their censorship, but they also run Lemmygrad. If you take a look around there you'll find literal propaganda. The solution is to not interact with lemmy.ml at least that's the solution in my opinion.

..... Why? How is this a better choice than a door?

Ahh! Oh no! Who could have ever foreseen these consequences??

What? Nooooo. Not my Chinese Communist Party! Say it isn't so!

When are they trying to IPO and cash out? A better way to avoid the backlash would have been to just slowly increase the API fees until all the third party apps were priced out. Then there wouldn't be a hard event to rage about, just mild grumblings while one by one each app says they can't afford this particular price hike.

Kinda interesting that somehow because it's across a gender line people find it icky, but I've never heard of anyone being scared they'll get a kidney that's the wrong gender.

Honestly? Even though Trump fans don't give a shit about rational arguments, it's nice to know they can't pretend there's no recent precident for charging a president's family with crimes.

Yeah, I agree. It's not hard to build infrastructure that lasts forever, it's just no one wants to pay for it.

Follow hashtags and follow more people. "The algorithm" doesn't decide what you see, you do.

If you're used to being a lurker, get ready to practice your creativity skills along with critical thinking and enthusiasm. Put down that popcorn and pick up a podium!

Wow, it turns out if your core identity as a party includes attacking the validity of robust scientific claims, then scientists don't like your party quite as much. Who would have thought?

I can see the first post from Beehaw on Beehaw while using Jeroba. I can also see that post using the web browser.

Make of that what you will.

This someone is going to bed. Goodnight little birdie!

They've had fake accounts to try and make the website look busier and they've edited other people's comments. Is there anything else equally immoral they've done that I don't know about?
