Just before IPO.

Right after announcing that reddit isn't profitable and his solution is a PR disaster over 3% of site traffic.

Gonna wait a bit because I wanna make sure there aren't any crazy unforeseen side effects on humans, but this is a tremendous step forward for several environmental and ecological problems and I'm ready for a minimal-kill future.

Except they have outright removed a bunch. All but two of the r/TIHI mods were purged, as an example.

It's not gonna extinguish the fediverse in the same way nobody leaving reddit joined Mastodon as a replacement. They're technically compatible, but these are entirely different styles of sites we're talking about. Lemmy and Kbin are gonna keep on trucking regardless of what happens to the Twitter-likes.

But they're definitely going to try and kill Mastodon/similar through social engineering. Everybody's favorite content creators, organizations, and brands will be on Threads, not Mastodon, and when they lock it down we'll lose access to them and end up needing a Threads account. I don't understand why anyone trusts this company won't try to secure market dominance and then monopolize it. The guy says "we'll just be right back where we are now," but this could easily decrease the Mastodon population by pulling away anyone who doesn't care about federation or open source and just wanted a decent Twitter alternative.

Perhaps block the "RedditMigration" magazine if you're not interested in seeing it. It's not like this place was founded out of politeness.

I don't wanna be mean to the guy who effectively just lost his job but like, come on bro. Reddit wasn't exactly hiding their negative intentions, outright lies, and lack of respect.

Look at how butthurt everyone in this thread is over a joke name and bringing perceived politics into it where there is none. This was all started by one game reviewer making fun of people who took PC gaming too seriously and then the subreddit name leaning into the joke. That's it, that's the story. If you want to start your own """less nazi""" PC enthusiast community, you can feel perfectly free to do that just the same as you could've on reddit with exactly the same amount of relative success as it would've had back there.

The fact is that the community was always going to be named "pcmasterrace" because that's what it was on reddit. Someone, anyone, was always going to make a community called "pcmasterrace" because that is how all the PCMR reddit refugees would find it. What you're getting mad about is the equivalent to what happens when people get mad over road names and petition to have them renamed. The small fraction of people who petitioned for it to happen feel real proud of themselves, good job, and then everyone else who never cared about why the road was named the way it was and just wanted to be able to get from point A to point B are indifferent at best and annoyed or angry at worst. All most people really want is to find their community and get back to discussing, so a huge chunk are likely to come to any of these instances' version of "pcmasterrace" because it's a simple way to accomplish that.

Reddit is going same path like Bud Light

No, because Bud Light is only hated by weird bigots who care too much about stuff that doesn't affect them at all. Reddit is hated by normal people who never asked for their favorite discussion site to make the browsing experience worse. A better example would be Digg.

It's nazis turning on nazis. I don't care who wins, I just care that they decimate each other so this invasion stops before the potential outcome of Trump ending up back in office.

I mean, we knew he was lying before the Blackout ever happened. The Apollo dev made it pretty clear in their thread.

Imagine trying to spam a clear scam link in a forum filled with tech nerds and power users. Like in what universe does this actually work lmfao

You say this like there aren't plenty of movies and shows that don't have this problem at all, even YouTubers generally knock this out of the park.

Dialogue is one of the only things that should always be clear, it exists to tell the story and missing critical parts of that because they can't be assed to make sure it sounds half decent in more than one specific environment using one specific audio technology is not something I'm willing to support.

A folder isn't "fun." Like, reddit has the Snoo alien or whatever, and they went the extra mile of letting users represent themselves with custom Snoo avatars made up of preset parts like a character creator. It's fun, and having a mascot here would be fun too.

If that's the case then they can shut it down and move to lemmygrad where at least they're not pretending to be normal people. My biggest problem with lemmy.ml is that they will enforce their beliefs with "orientalism" bans without ever saying that this will happen if you post contrary to their stances.

Personally, I hope it's intentional and leads to other places defederating lemmy.ml as a result, finally cutting them out of the mainstream instances.

That's actually pretty crazy. Is this the first major official team to bail on reddit because of these changes? And such a hugely popular subject, too.

It wasn't broken as hell after like two weeks of development when the critical glitches like save corruption were getting fixed. As someone who didn't overhype the game for a decade and only bought it because I knew everyone else was going to, I had a great time. It was just cool to hate the game up until the anime dropped and everyone suddenly forgot they hated it.

Kbin currently has no functional API, which makes it much harder to develop a kbin app.

Edit: Also I'm pretty sure that one is iOS only so I can't use it 😭

Not just Lemmy, since that's the cool thing federation allows. This is a Lemmy instance and you're posting from Lemmy, but I'm reading and posting from kbin. Even in its early stages, we've got two big different alternatives that share the same content, which is dope.

Votes are public here, as are moderator actions, so we can actually see everything going on, including empty accounts only used to bot upvote stuff. In addition, not every platform works the same way. Some have upvotes and downvotes, some only have upvotes, some are wonky like kbin where upvotes don't count toward reputation but boosts do, etc. An upvote isn't just an upvote like it is on reddit. They also can't "enshittify" something that users can self-host their own instances of to interact.

Edit: Also, we're in the early stages right now, reddit has a decade lead.

#1 reason I prefer buying games on Steam. The convenience of this is insane.
