I find Lemmy generally more welcoming to post comments. Its likely because of the lack of bots and trolls. Let's hope they stay clear from here.

This was bound to happen. On the eve of their IPO, they need to show that the site is running normally and that it shows promise to be profitable.

Now I'm not so sure whoever they pick to be more will be up for the task considering that they have gimped mod tools.

I believe it's related to privacyguides.org. The team behind it lost contact with the domain owner of privacytools.io and to continue the project needed to create a new domain.

I believe that's the story if I recall correctly.

Not likely in the slightest.

Yeah, this seems like a sketchy way of pushing adds. I’m fairly sure ads shouldn’t be pushed in the notification tray.

Your last statement is probably the safest route.

I hope the traffic logic gets an improvement. I remember having a lot of weird behavior with lane changes where every car would decide to change lanes at on specific spot on the road and line up to get to that spot.

Looking forward to see what else they'll be improving on.

Really like it, sadly I don't think the people I'd share it with would be willing to read through it. I'll try with word of mouth for now and use this as a backup.

Kind of both. His server has a mirror of the community. When he comments it gets saved on his server and the his server communicates with the original server. In turn the original server also communicates his comment with other federated servers.

Large, well-funded organizations

Never heard of these orgs but this sound like they're funded by foreign entities trying to destabilize our democracy. All theoretical of course.

Shouldn't the government prevent this kind of funding? Or at least investigate it? This seems unlikely that they would be funded locally.

They likely didn't go very deep in their research. Like others mentioned they didn't go into the details of the extremely high prices of the API access price.

For me it's available but not reliable. There's always something that forces it to shutdown. There are frequent delays and the monthly fees are really getting up there.

This is great! Anything to make Lemmy adoption simpler and easier for newcomers.

Fun to watch someone else play and lose their mind. I'll bring the popcorn!

I'm not too sure which story is true. I'll stick to both sites as a reference to be safe.

They can make their own instance and stay within their echo chamber.

Wait what? What else did he do?

That's a good point. This is day 1 of the blackout, we can't help but have people talk about it.

My god! Being based on chromium and developed by Microsoft were already 2 reasons to stay away. Why would they feel the need to send viewed images back to Microsoft?

I wonder if this includes private images from iCloud/google photos.

For some reason I couldn't get into God of War (the ps4/ps5 game). Everyone I know praised the game and I read great reviews online. Once I tried it though, I felt like it was very linear and the storyline annoyed me. (Climbing up the mountain top to then have to climb down and go to parallel worlds) I might not have been in the right state of mind when I played it, but the game just didn't have an impact on me like it seemed to have had with others.

Needless to say that I didn't finish, but I've considered giving it another try again after hearing about the PC release

As we should all remember from the Johnny Depp vs Amber Heard defamation trial, "pledging" doesn't really mean anything. Seems like it's used to look good without actually doing anything in the end.

Edit: Depp not Deep
