Didn’t Reddit gold start as just a user-run bot, that kept a tally of how many times it had been invoked for any particular recipient?

And then Reddit forced the bot to retire so they could offer a paid version. And now they’re retiring their mandatory replacement. Good job Reddit.

Piracy isn’t about preservation. Piracy doesn’t create the roms. It’s the dudes with rom dump devices who do that. And making archival copies isn’t necessarily piracy.

But yes, piracy is the only practical way for new customers to access older content that is no longer sold.

The hysterics over the as yet purely hypothetical prospect of Facebook/Threads being on the fediverse, along with some worrying signs of censorship, have caused me to to flee lemmy.world. Here’s hoping FMHY will be a better fit for me.

Absolutely. I don’t think we really have fediverse until we get this.

Gecko? Do you mean Blink?

Gecko is the name of Firefox’s renderer. Blink is the name of chrome’s. WebKit is the name of Safari’s.

It would not be correct to say that Safari uses Chrome’s renderer, but since Chrome started as a fork of WebKit, they should have some similarities.

But there is no genetic relationship whatsoever between Gecko and Safari.

Also if you’re gonna mention genocides that Facebook is complicit with, don’t forget the Rohingya genocide

Yeah agreed

How is threads more overwhelmingly negative or tolerant of doxxing than other major platforms? Like what is the basis for your comment?

Libsoftiktok started on Twitter. And while she did have an instagram account, it was banned from both instagram and Facebook, while the Twitter account had its shadowban lifted after Musk took over.

Given that Meta is presenting Threads as Twitter, but “sanely run”, and that libsoftiktok has already been permabanned twice, it seems likely that she will also be banned from Threads. Certainly this is a weird point to hang your case for defederating Threads on.

Wait. Threads requires an instagram account. How can libsoftiktok be on threads if she is permabanned from IG.

Are you even sure this is true or is this just a rumor that you’re repeating?

Hashtags were invented by the Twitter community. And the @ sign account linking was invented by Twitter third party apps, which Elon musk killed

What?

I left Reddit because the admins killed third party apps. Not because I was a fan of mods blocking whole communities, which wasn’t actually a power that Reddit mods had.

You cited rule 1, which is

The instance spreads overwhelming amounts of drama, hate or negativity.

And rule 3

The instance allows the harassment or doxxing of others.

So the question is whether the fediverse instance Threads has done the bad actions.

You are arguing for a preemptive defederation based on the actions of the corporate parent having nothing to do with content on the instance in question.

Since libsoftiktok is on Twitter not Facebook, it seems you want to be defederated from Threads based on the actions of not just Meta, but also Musk’s Twitter.

I mean it’s an argument, and many agree with it. Many instances have already defederated threads.net. but it’s certainly not in the rules cited in this post.
