I love the irony of him calling Reddit a democracy while also refusing to budge on the API issue. You can’t have it both ways.

Great to hear that there is a dialog open between the admins. Hopefully it is all sorted swiftly. Federating with all of the large instances is important for the continued growth of the platform.

Yep that’s an uninstall and 1 star review for sure.

Competing platforms are scary!!!

+1 here. If growth slows and donations drop, the instance needs some savings to continue operating, or if another server upgrade is needed with a large capital expense. Not everything is OpEx.

Spez is just trying to get that bag and run.

“Guys this is a democracy I promise. Just do your jobs and don’t complain, speak out, or vote against anything we say. You guys totally still are stakeholders in this platform though. Please volunteer more of your time so we can monetize your free content. Thanks!” - Reddit Admins

Could we get an introduction into who the new team lead is, what their experience is, and maybe some info on the rest of the team? The current repo owner has no information and has only ever worked on Mlem with this user account. Not exactly confidence inspiring from afar.

I wouldn't say it was a flop. A massive number of subs and users are participating at the moment (some forced due to the blackouts). But I do agree that reddit executives definitely don't give a shit, and will eventually just start booting mods to bring the subs back if they don't fall in line.

Reddit mods crave the “power” they get from donating their time and labor to a mega corp.

Upgraded cache = bigger clothes pile.

Not surprised. They need to milk every last drop of revenue from their users free content for the upcoming IPO.

Its their communities choice I suppose. This seems against the idealogy of the fediverse, but to each their own. Folks can migrate here, or to a different instance of their choice if they disagree with the Beehaw admins.

Appreciate the transparency and update. This definitely eases concerns. Thanks!

Oops! You clicked on a simulated phishing test.

Really enjoying the feeling of a closer community of Lemmy. everyone is working together to build this platform from the ground up.

Saw this one over on /r/cybersecurity and just goes to show why you should always have healthy skepticism for new closed source applications with wild claims.

My college bedroom consisted of a mattress on the floor, and that same floor functioned great as a nightstand. This here is fancy!

And then they wonder why advertises are avoiding the platform.

Cloudflare is still the best domain registrar that I’ve worked with. Doesn’t seem to be going anywhere.
