Same, at the time I made the comment I didn’t even realize they had pushed it back. Cut it a little close to release didn’t they?

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

I’m no fan of a lot of what isreal does but yes, sabbath and Manamakahn seem to be both middle eastern and pushing their articles hard around here.

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!

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

“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

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

Open source, so I’m sure someone can. Platform is very young - I suspect that as it gains popularity, more people will contribute to source, and we’ll eventually see more options for customization. Both at the user level and the instance level giving people more reasons to choose other instances over just population of it.

Yup, I feel like a lot of people complaining of too much centralization don’t fully understand how the federation concept works. Even if a single instance goes down, turns evil, ect - all of the content would have already propagated to all the other instances. It’s not ideal, because those instances would loose sync with each other since the initial instance went dark but we wouldn’t loose the content but commenters can still discuss within their own instance.

Again, not ideal - but at least the content would be preserved.

Hmm, I wonder if US users benefit from that? I’m sure they could tell by the IPs where the content was posted. Maybe that’s too much of a hassle though

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.

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

memmy is another ios (x-platform?) app to try that is apollo’esq, is more stable, and seems to default to using swipe as the primary method of up/down vote and commenting.

certainly, a selection bias in a way I didn’t think about. Unfortuently, that seems to be the majority… for now.

I’ve found found the same in other communities, I was surprised how many people just didn’t care or were actively shilling for Reddit.

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”

5/mo is too much I think.

ok, so it’s not just me. Hope it gets resolved soon!

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!

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?
