@stux All that'll do is piss off the wolves and the farmers.
Also your asshole neighbors will be huffing the paintball propellant if they aren't already
@AdmiralFrosty#Cox doesn't either. I just bought a modem and router and changed the DNS on the router rather than rent their locked down modem/router combo that they want a subscription to control for me
If you are Redditor, we would like to know your opinion: r/kde has been closed for several days to unsubscribed users in protest for the company's latest decisions. Should we open r/kde up now or wait? Tell us what you think by filling out the poll here:
If you close, the admins will reopen it and you will be demodded. They don't even care about maintaining the facade of listening to users anymore. Anything that gets in the way of their gravy train will be obliterated
There's a lot of shit flying in the #Fediverse lately and a lot of times perspective seems to get lost. Yes, there are things we need to talk about, and yes there are things we will not agree on. And that's okay.
But leave the pitchforks and torches out of this.
Fedi admins put in the hours and effort and emotion into making fedi happen. Sometimes they make decisions we might not agree with. We should criticize, but we should not pile-on.
Funny how when #BlueSky got the first few thousand accounts all of tech media immediately started tripping one over another covering it and getting a collective aneurysm. :blobcatroll:
Meanwhile, #Threadiverse gets ~70k accounts over 2 weeks, and (with the fine exception of #Techdirt) not a peep. :blobcatgiggle:
@stux If you starting throwing around accusations, you need receipts. Otherwise people will assume you're making things up.
This is concerning to me both as a user and as a business associate because it currently appears as you've defederated on a whim, slept on it, and then refederated after you regretted it in the morning. You have to make your case that there was good reason to do so beyond the summary you've provided because defederation is the nuclear option
Looks like Reddit management has seamlessly transitioned from the "fuck around" phase of running Reddit to the "find out" phase, and yet so far missed that fact. 🍿
@rysiek@kcarruthers I think they're just looking at metrics and not realizing that subs forced back open are being filled with random shit like pictures of John Oliver looking sexy (/r/funny and /r/gifs)/artistic (/r/art), water vapor and applications thereof (/r/steam), and long videos of random noise
