I kinda wonder what people in the 3 letter agencies are thinking right now. I would hope that enough of these agencies actually view Trump as a fundamental threat to democracy, because he actually is. People have warned for this to happen, for a while now, even though many are surprised at the speed at which it happens. But still, you would kind of hope for some of these agencies to actually stand for the constitution, instead of for the ruling party and his current president.

The US is so much more than just the current political ruling class. It's sad that there seems at least, to be so little visible opposition to their efforts to derail the US geopolitical power and to overthrow the system of law and order. One who the Republicans should hold deep, and definitely the people who pledge their allegiance to the constitution. I wonder if it would have gone different if someone like Saunders or Obama would have tried a similar play.

Imagine you're so sad, you create a filter to remove comments of people rightfully calling you out on the internet.

He called Reddit a 'democratic city' where discussions can take place. Well, sounds a lot like he's just a very intolerant mayor who wants to control the flow of discussions when they are about him.

Exactly my response too. Like this inexperienced mod takes the sub by playing nice with the admins and the first thing they want to implement is identity verification? Dafaq

Does he know he is a 'Reddit' mod?

Well, if Sergey Brin wants to work 60 hour weeks, be my guest. Sounds like a good idea for the CEO class, since they should really justify what they're paid.

Protip: If you are somewhat skeptical of the Branch integration, you can disable network permission in Android for the Nova Launcher. It doesn't need to connect to anything to work fine generally speaking. Without network permisson, the launcher can't send anything to the internet.

Awesome news! The more flavours, the better for now!

Damn, this is the perfect meme for Reddit rn

If BlueSky is full of Jew hate, "it's legion", but you’re still using it over Mastodon and Mbin, doesn’t that contradict the idea that antisemitism makes a platform unattractive? If it were your main issue, wouldn’t both be equally bad? Seems like the deciding factor is engagement for you personally, not what moderation happens or doesn't happen.

If antisemitism were the real deal-breaker, you wouldn’t be on BlueSky either.

Inevitable crash of the Streaming Wars, the period of rapid growth is at an end. The pricing was enticing for a reason, because the economy enabled rapid growth in the then new streaming space. Content is still king and investing in great content just got wat more expensive when the interest rates went up. This means the services need to actually become profitable or get out of the game for how expensive it is.

Now it will be a question of what service is able to last, who buys who and what content owners will go back to selling their content to those who remain.

Some more speculations from me:

• We'll see more price increases across the board, and limitations of how you can watch content. (Thanks NF)
• Ad free packages will become more expensive, or might even leave eventually.
• Subscriptions with ads will become way more popular.
• Smaller players like Peacock and Showtime might decide to just sell to who ever pays most and cease operations for their app.
• Netflix and Disney might introduce new subscriptions that only offer a subset of their library

Edit: I think it is also likely that monthly subscriptions will become semi monthly or even a minimum of 3 - 6 months. If that doesn't happen, then series will become even way more spread out in their release dates as is currently the case. (Season 1: The Fall, Season 1: Gradient etc.)

All great apps. I'm leaning more tot Thunder right now, especially since it run both on Android and iOS.

But... When Sync for Lemmy drops i might just start using that again because it's so polished!

Great App! Props to you! = )

Thanks for the update! We'll brace for some downtime!

Hell yeah! So stoked!

Are there any countdown timers for this? I think this really calls for one!

Tempted to code a website for it :)

Reddit isn't fun

The beauty of Federated Lemmy/Kbin is that you only need one account on just the one instance. You can create more accounts on seperate instances, because some instances might block or get blocked by others.

But by having a Lemmy.world account for example, you can also view many of the other instances in the 'All' feed (or by subscribing) Let me know if you need more information.

Hey @[email protected], fellow SysAdmin here! Thank you for hosting this Lemmy instance! It's a great place, uptime has been excellent!

I've a question, if you're willing to give your opinion. Hardware is not cheap and eventually it might become impossible to pay the bills to host this instance.

What kind of support model do you envision for the future of this instance? Donations, subscription, advertisements?

Thanks anyway, and good luck to you!

Edit: I see that donations are already optional. Nice! But i'm still curious, so is there other options you've considered for your Mastadon instance for example?

Not worth it imo. Reddit doesn't get any more of my time, if it isn't necessary.

Allright, but why?

Edit: You mean, the other 2 comments i deleted on this thread? Got an error, was too impatient ;)
