Maybe it’s easier if all your resources aren’t slowed down by board meetings solely for the purpose of “how can we monetize this”

That’s what happens when you put profit ahead of function. Putting the cart before the horse something something

“The ongoing strike, spurred by Huffman’s plan to charge fees to third-party apps that serve up Reddit content,”

Then it goes on to talk about commercial AIs scraping reddit data through their api for deep learning for free.

But the reality is people weren’t upset about the api charge, they were upset at the exorbitant price they released. There are so many other ways to be fair and to stop commercial use if that was really an issue. Plus, I wouldn’t be surprised if reddit is being scraped without the api from the front facing website anyway.

Then, reddit double downed and spez just made a complete ass of himself. I could have done a better job as CEO, that guy is unqualified and delusional. If he stays at the helm reddit will surely sink

agreed. as others have stated. Transparency. But also, new software, new tech (in a way, the fediverse/activity pub), and hopefully a new beginning. Happy to be here. If not technically on the ground level (lemmy has been around for a short time before we knew reddit was going to implode), close to it!

This is what’s beautiful in open source. I wonder if any one has had any luck making the old.Reddit nesting style yet

reddit is panicking, trying to claw in anything they can before they have nothing.

Can’t say I’m surprised. I’m sure they’ll stop people from deleting their own content off soon too. It’s amazing how short sighted they can be burning the community that gave them the decades of free content that made Reddit popular.

Honestly, I brought up the issue in a top 1% subreddit by population and I got downvoted into oblivion. The few that would engage were just like "stfu", and "lol no" and "I don't care"

Sorry, I'm new here. Isn't Radio Sputnik Russian state media? Which could be considered propaganda, which would break rule 3?

Also, is this some of the "tankie" content that lemmy opponents have been citing? I know this is lemmy.ml and that this may be the type of content they want here, so I hope I'm not offending anyone.

Memmy is updated almost daily at this point, the App has come a long way just this week even

agreed

Thanks, installed. But still rooting for Memmy too! Love everyone who is stepping up to the plate for the mobile app scene!

Man, I’m so torn. I want to support them and buy but they’ve just burned a lot of good will releasing less than a 1/3 of the features they teased and for such a cost in performance.

KSP 1 has more features and can look almost as good with mods right? They’ve just bungled this so badly.

I’m waiting for them to take the cash and abandon the game. Not the same squad it was…

god it's terrifying and so true. I didn't realize how addicated I was to apollo until muscle memory just kept clicking the damn app!

5/mo is too much I think.

I wish something in the license of activity pub could have prevented corporate espionage. Make no mistake, meta will absolutely dominate and kill off the fediverse

Can’t forget homeworld 3!

Edit: I was late to the party, hw3 got pushed to 2024. So I’ll change my answer to the expense game, which comes in July.

Also, hard agree on star field, and CS2!

Edit2: armored core 6

Don’t know how to help but agree on how important search is. Which might be even harder to do given federation.

Also upvote for firefly user name

Idk, maybe it should be usage based. I feel like 60/yr is too much. I'd be fine with 19.99/yr but idk what they're costs are. Otherwise, I do like the idea. Confession, I haven't used it yet but I plan to signup and try the first 100 searches free.

Oh wow, suddenly that makes sense. I open minded but I think that’s going in the wrong direction. Should just de-federate that one until they get cleaned up? Normally against that but honestly have seen quite a few threads against lemmy as a whole as a result of .ml

how recently were you a mod on reddit? I've been trying to raise discussions on various communities that I follow about a possible migration and I'm receiving a lot of indifference from the userbase. However, I feel like the mod userbase feels differently given the widespread blackout (many of these communities joined the blackout but it seems like a lot of their users are unaware or unconcerned with the changes.)

my question is do you think the mods are more sympathetic to migrating platforms?
