this is pretty disgusting even for Facebook

can other mods reappoint you?

You should reopen privacy but a la /r/pics and only allow posts about laptop privacy screens and laptop privacy screen reviews and top 10 laptop privacy screens etc. for some malicious compliance.

reddit also had that a bunch of places, for example /r/gaming /r/games /r/truegaming etc. etc.

I feel as others had suggested that client side multireddits communities would be ideal so you could set up what groups you like to peruse yourself.

I feel reddit corp still dgaf and when the majority of subreddits are back then the blackouts will be but a memory..

For me personally - I gaf, so I deleted my 12YO reddit account, wiped my comments and now going to be a lemmy & mastodon main.

I think that the fediverse will continue to grow nicely, especially as existing reddit apps start to point to lemmy as a backend. Also places like tildes.net will grow nicely too with things like the fact the reddit is fun app dev has stated he's building an app for it.

They'll no doubt survive, but Reddit really fucked their monopoly with how this was handled.

I just saw this, highlighting my own

"In an internal memo sent Monday afternoon to Reddit staff, CEO Steve Huffman addressed the recent blowback directed at the company, telling employees to block out the “noise” and that the ongoing blackout of thousands of subreddits will eventually pass."

Its literally a public network where people chose to post things publicly for anyone to see and consume, I don't understand what degree of privacy people are expecting? If you have some insight into this or your own privacy concerns I'm super interested cuz its left me baffled.

I wouldn't stand out in a public city centre and expect privacy. However with the fediverse at least I choose which city centre I'm standing in and if I still don't like it, I can stand in my own and block anyone else to access it (yay privacy :D).

Also reddit served 'targeted' ads, which were admittedly pretty pants, so they had some degree of selling access to your data to third parties, which the fediverse doesn't have.

In my navigation of the fediverse the last few days I've noticed a few people running instances of mastodon and lemmy with just themselves or 1 or 2 other people etc.

If you into tinkering and selfhosting, why not :D Means you're in full control of what other instances you federate with/can see etc.

I think a lot of people (myself included) were put off voat due the right wing politics and seemingly toxic nature of the site.

With regards to Lemmy - I'm not a communist by any stretch of the imagination but I'm definitely more left leaning and liberal, and the community aspect here is decent so far.

wicked list thanks

from my long distant memory of reddit (~1 week) 1000 upvotes and 300 comments is comparable or greater than a large majority reddit threads on non default subreddits, which is great to see 😁

I've not tested it so I didn't enable it for android but I don't see why it wouldn't to be honest. It's getting late here now so I'll have a play tomorrow :)

conde naste was reddit and wired's parent company and I believe still a major shareholder so probably why

Good point, I do wonder what % of userbase are in support of these protest and what % don't care? Seems like ~100k has joined these fediverse alternatives out of reddit's 50,000,000 daily active users 0.2% if my tired maths hasn't failed me.

Not that I want the same userbase as reddit, far from it...

My 50pence is that what reddit has fucked up is their monopoly on where these communities reside.

This is another one I've found which I like the UI of https://lemmyverse.net/communities

I get what you're saying but if the whole population of where ever you are does the same, then the water usage would be huge. and not sure if you were joking but if not, what do you do the whole time in hour long showers, jesus ! haha

pretty different things and also IBM owns Red Hat

I like the hackernews approach where downvotes on comments aren't seen, the comments are just faded out. The more downvotes = the more invisible it is.

Also thought this could be a cool approach with nice side effects - https://www.ucl.ac.uk/news/2023/jun/social-media-trustdistrust-buttons-could-reduce-spread-misinformation

Hey man just a heads up - I'm not 100% on the blender docs themselves but generally for open source you're able to contribute and fix issues if you spot them and help out your fellow blender users. Could be worth looking in to if you feel strongly about this and aware where they need fixing :D
