I want to debunk Reddit's claims, and talk about their unwillingness to work with developers, moderators, and the larger community, as well as say thank you for all the support

They just have no idea what value the site brings to their actual users.
Essentially, pushing a Reddit as a recommendation engine for “organic brand evangelists” instead of organic community communication.
I’m gonna swing by their booth tomorrow and report back.

I’m at Cannes Lions rn. There’s a ton of of the Reddit marketing team here overhearing their conversations with advertisers.
Lemme tell you, that place was doomed to start with.

Hey guys, this time I really messed up :/
Cross-posting my comment:
This is one of my largest frustrations with the open source community. Everything is immediately assumed as malicious. There is no escalation, it's "you screwed me over" from the jump.
I suppose it's bred from decades of large corporations pilfering open source for profit. However, this post could easily have been, "I noticed there's some code I wrote that wasn't attributed, would you mind adding that?". Escalate from there if the appropriate actions aren't taken.

To say, as in to state as fact, yes.
To question, no.
There's a wide gap between "covid originated in a lab" and "covid could have originated in a lab".

In LitigousEmma's defense, kbin did not comply with the license terms of the open source software, so there is a valid concern here. Unlike most programming languages which are often released under licenses which do not requite attribution.
However, mistakes happen. The open source community is better off if we could all just start from 0 and escalate based on response.

Just an idea

This is the solution. With enough small instances, not only do we provide a wide range of options to users, but we also distribute the hosting costs across the community.

Why Git is hard
My favorite version of this is when the novice has followed someone's dodgy advice to set pull.rebase = true, then they pull a shared branch that they're collaborating on, into which their coworker has just merged origin/main. Instant Sorcerer's Apprentice-scale chaos!
Why are you doing that? Don't do that.

Liquor licenses should not be granted to establishments without public transit during business hours.
The American idea of DRIVING TO THE BAR, many of which have parking lots, is completely an utterly unacceptable.

An important point to make is that even if you make an account elsewhere, you can still access the content and communities here and on other Kbin/Lemmy instances.

This is why I like the fediverse. People aren’t desperate to be influencers. Found this post on Threads, and it’s sadcringe material.

But there’s no algorithm that makes rep valuable here. Presumably on threads the more followers and engagement you have, the more your content will be pushed to peoples feeds.
Different carrots.

What password manager do you recommend?
Reply in thread
You definitely do not want to generate TOTPs in your password manager. That makes it a single point of failure in the event of a breach.

If you save it to the homepage this doesn't happen. Guide

I don't have any issue with opening an issue in the repo, that part seems reasonable. It, by definition, is an issue with the codebase.

The new cropped thumbnails are awful. Is there any way to revert?
Reply in thread
Updated: this issue is now resolved.
I suspect theres a bug as some thumbnails are still being cropped.
Example: https://kbin.social/m/random/t/142699/watership-down
Edit: it also appears to crop images in the threads themselves (as seen with the screenshot posted on this reply)

Selfhosting lemmy with no pictrs
Reply in thread
I don’t understand why lemmy caches photos in the first place? Like surely it’s quicker, easier, and lower bandwidth to just store a url to the original source.
