Earlier today there was a post about rejecting Meta’s intrusion in the fediverse, some don’t see the danger in it or think it’s unlikely that Meta can do any damage to the fediverse....
I don’t really get why people are quick to trust them. It’s highly unlikely (perhaps impossible) that they do something like this just to support the FOSS ecosystem or for the benefit of their users, so they do it for profit, and for them to profit from it, they have to control as much as possible of the entire protocol.
I honestly don’t know and wouldn’t dispute it, because at the time I was a small kid. I just went by what most people say online (including but not limited to this blog post)
Protests on the social platform have entered a new phase, with users shirking the platform’s NSFW content rules en masse. The development has some media buyers on high alert, experts say.
The Master wondered whether he would dream. That was the only thing he feared, for in a sleep that lasts no more than a night dreams may come that can shatter the mind - and he was to sleep for a hundred years....
The similarities are amazing, especially considering Reddit was one of the succesors of Digg. They can now enable other successors by making stupid decissions and alienating core users....
I'm not seeing organization by the users in this case to do something like that, though it would be warranted and I'd personally take part in it, given that all the content in Reddit belongs to the users, and the users should have a say
This is it! The point is not just the 3rd party apps. They are just treating us as trash, and want to turn Reddit into something like Twitter or Facebook. Well go ahead, but people will migrate, and for a site that depends totally on the users, that's rough
I mean don't get me wrong, its cool a lot of subs have and still are participating in the blackout, but I think it wouldve been better to link a new home for the subreddits participating somewhere in the private message. Show spez, hey if you dont change, we aren't going to use your site (or use it less).
This is the thing for me too, I just don't want to be in a community where the mods/owners don't care AT ALL about the community and are unwilling to listen. That feels like any other social media to me, and it is not what I was on Reddit for.
well, personally, I don't really care if people come here or not. I want that people who want to be here to be here, but not for this to be a massive site where everybody comes because it is "the new reddit".
And I also don't think about everyone leaving Reddit. The new Reddit works for some folks, not for us, so we come here and some other places. I don't want it to die either, it's just not my cup of tea anymore
Yeah they don't see the point, wich is the trajectory of the platform.
They are lying to everybody in order to push out of market the 3rd party apps, but that's one side of it, they are also, effectively, forcing you as a user to use a worse app just for them to get more money by doing less.

Ever since the Reddit API revolt began, I've been hearing about its similarities with Digg's downfall. So I looked it up online, and it really has some crucial similarities. (productmint.com)

Anyone else a little disappointed how the blackout is going?

I definitely think r/gaming has the biggest banger of a privated notice
