I didn’t know api changes means 3rd party apps no longer can show nsfw content. Nobody’s going to pay a subscription and not be able to see stuff that they can see on the official app. Looks like reddit is giving all 3rd party app developers a shitty deal whichever way you cut it.
Yeah I wouldn’t have ever signed up for lemmy if this api thing hadn’t come about. This is my first fediverse experience. I was pissed at reddit, but now I don’t care about reddit one way or another. Lemmy has gained enough users to sustain itself even if there is no more mass migration. There is an active community here that will help lemmy grow organically over time.
Right, but I’ve seen tons of comments that say “I’ll at least use the mobile site instead of your app”. If they do this now, then those people will just leave. Plus, blocking mobile site is a dumb move.
This happening in the middle of the API gate seems like a pretty dumb move, even for Reddit.
That’s because fines are hilarious. I propose a ‘jail time’ for companies engaging in wrongdoing. Basically a timeframe for which they can’t operate. For small things they should stop operating for a day/few days/week/months/years with or without a chance for ‘parole’ after a period. Scale up based on the crime. For egregious crimes, it should be ‘life’ without a chance of parole. This would get companies to behave so fast you’ll get whiplash.
You know that’s a big no no from his legal team.
He ‘doubled down’ because there was nothing else he could do. Iamthatis was meticulous in his takedown, and short of apologizing, there was nothing spez could say to make it better.
I don’t get this weird need to be contrary to everything, doesn’t it get exhausting?
This fediverse instancing thing needs a lot of getting used to. I created the same account on both places, and now need to make sure which account is active based on which site I clicked the post on. I suppose the solution is to log out of one of the servers and just stay logged in to the other.
Yeah that seems like a very important safety feature. Any idea why Tesla went against that to a shatter proof glass? It’s not like this is a presidential suv or something
May be they already realize it, meaning, they saw all the popular communities already created here, and would much rather stay there as mods.
