Yeah my browsing time has gone down compared to Reddit. But Lemmy has far less mindless content, if I’m on here I’m more engaged and actively read articles linked or write comments.

Tips shouldn’t be the main source of income. It should be a bonus for good work. Tipping culture in the us is getting crazy compared to Europe. The base salary should be enough to be able to live on.

Here is the source blog post from oracle: https://www.oracle.com/news/announcement/blog/keep-linux-open-and-free-2023-07-10/

RedHat really fucked up with this move. I know RedHat employees and everyone from RedHat I met so far was proud they work there and how much open source meant to the company. I guess there will be more and more redhatters looking for new opportunities in the coming months.

If an instance is not willing to work on these issues, other instances can opt to defederate the offending instance.

Mass exodus maybe in terms of power users. The average Reddit user used the official client before the api restrictions. My guess is that many people who posted good stuff ditched Reddit.

The vast majority of reddits userbase are consumers. They are already using the official app and don't care about the politics of the platform. These people are only there to get their content fix.

I realised this when I saw a post on a subreddit where someone shared on how to turn off some kind of notification in the official app. So many other people thanked this person... Reddit has become another mainstream social media site like FB, Instagram and so on.

Already was using it in TestFlight, but needed to download it to rate it in the App Store.

For me it's not about changing other peoples minds, it's more about creating a viable alternative to reddit for the right people.

Reddit should deal with hateful people and those who are unwilling to challenge themselves to look over the edge.

Twitter also needs people

Never meant to defend oracle. I dislike them even more than IBM.

You still can request a data export to see what they still have.

As a plus point if your GPDR request was logged and they can't fulfill it in 90 days they will be fined.

El Niño is the least of our problems. Even the article mentions it only in passing.

The reactions you are seeing are based off of Metas history. We will see how it works out.

Yeah based on the article SUSE is planning to contribute the Project to an open source foundation, additionally they are going to invest 10+ million dollars. Looking forward to see what open source foundation this is going to.

I sort by new mostly and if I find something interesting I write a comment trying to startup some conversations. The more people do this, the faster the community will grow.

Some more stuff you can do:

You can subscribe to a community on a different lemmy instance, this community will then be mirrored to your local instance for you to view. The comments will be distributed the same way.

Swartz unfortunately died in 2013.

In case you missed it: if you have Lemmy open in the browser, use the share button and Add to Home Screen. Feels and looks like an app that way.

They have been doing this since March 2020.
