Tracking, ads, money.
It’s interesting to see people talking about bots flooding some communities with content and others saying there’s not enough.
I created a bot, not to bring posts and comments from reddit but to use reddit as content curator, to bring links that were engaging there on to here.
However some people think theres a difference between users making a post with just a link to a news article or a bot doing it.
I think there’s a use for bots, when the content they bring is external to both reddit and lemmy, and discussion around it is organic.
Also this type of integration could be implemented, the projects are young enough to make big changes on how they work.
I understand, there’s many people that want nothing to do with a community like that, me included, but ultimately it will being attention to it, because some sympathize with these points of view. Hopefully the admins of shitjustworks take measures to make sure there’s no racism on their instance.
I think with time, compatibility between different services will become better, so far with lemmy limited compatibility and kbin with full compatibility, we are going in a good direction
I think this type of posts will have an opposite impact to what we want, we are just giving it the attention it needs to become what it was on Reddit, my recommendation? Block it immediately.
That cloudflare problem was solved :)
This is what I fear the most tbh
Meta’s incursion in the fediverse might cause very bad effects, there’s nothing preventing them from spitting ads from their new platform to all other platforms compatible with it.
I really hope that if we come to that, admins will defederate immediately.
Are you already defederating from suspicious instances? If not, What are you planning to do?
If you want to follow from kbin go to https://kbin.social/m/syncforlemmy@lemmy.world
Also you can use my browser extension and just click on the icon:
Kbin Link for Chrome
Kbin Link for Firefox
A kbin API is in the works, if we manage to make it compatible with lemmy this app would be usable for kbin as well.
Great news!, if kbin implements a lemmy-like api (which is being discussed) this app would be entirely compatible as well!
Even tho they didn’t move to the fediverse, I’m glad they left reddit.
I think the only difference is that there’s at least a chance to keep interacting with the community from an instance that is not showing ads.
Helpful to know! Thanks!
I’m so glad that me deleting my account made them mad, I’m so glad it hurt them
I’m rooted, give me a bit and I’ll try to patch it for you
Revanced all the way
Funny thing is, this is exactly what reddit wants. When it’s time to show the traffic after API shutdown they’ll show the traffic of all the users that are protesting, and guess what, it’ll be higher than before the API shutdown
