My impression is they're being disingenuous, for the reasons you say. They could easily support 3rd party apps but ban large-scale data mining. Saying "supporting these apps costs us money, so we need to charge" is a manipulative half-truth. Like Selig said, they've priced it not just at covering their costs but making a healthy profit.

It's not clear why they don't just serve ads in the API and require them to be displayed, or implement profit-sharing with 3rd party devs (as in, they pay reddit a portion of their income from ads/subscriptions). The only clear reasons would be for control and to pump up numbers for the IPO.

'interesting as fuck' sounds a lot different to someone from India

i feel like speez is the ultimate reddit troll... a weird embodiment of the negative aspects of the spirit of the site.

Because I have heard them use the word like that, in a semi-broken English way (not criticizing, I mean, I speak zero other languages at all besides really bad Spanish). As in "I am wanting a for girl for fuck' or something like that.

Are there any Reddit refugees spending more time on Lemmy than Reddit?

I am theoretically switching over from Reddit to Lemmy. Finding myself spending more time on Lemmy than on Reddit. Maybe it's because I am limited to using the desktop and can't aimlessly browse Reddit on my iPhone. Of late, the only subreddits I cared for were on sports and their matchday threads and r/watches. I found myself...

what confuses me is being on one domain, then clicking 'view context' on a comment and it's on another domain that I don't have JS enabled for and am not signed into

"this is the way" yeah, blocking it at the router is my best way of breaking habits.

i still rarely run into anyone that has even heard of reddit, or will admit to it.

Some sort of profit sharing arrangement seems to be the trend in social media these days. YouTube has a setup like that of course... Instagram and TikTok both pay people (max of like 100 a month i think) and Twitter is planning to start.

It's unclear to me to what extent this actually happens, but some people say reddit mods get offers to promote or allow certain posts for thousands a month. It would make sense on subs that have a seriously large audience.

I created a new video: What is a Noodle? Disclaimer: I didn't.

we should just take over west texas. I mean, HEB is pretty good and you have a lot more meth than we do.

Yeah, tamale dough is masa (nixtamalized corn) while ravioli is typically wheat flour, as you describe. Noodles can be made out of corn or rice, too... they're not really that different than wheat noodles. I have Celiac so I have tried a lot of gluten free noodles made from alternative grains.

yeah, how? I'd say that actually a sushi roll is a tamale

zeppo,
@zeppo@lemmy.world avatar

A burrito is um... a form of a tamale. Actually, it's sushi

zeppo,
@zeppo@lemmy.world avatar

Seems like a somewhat arbitrary requirement.

Nobody should be upset about something as wonderful as a tamale, and I'm sorry if I have contributed to your feelings about that.

zeppo,
@zeppo@lemmy.world avatar

I feel like if one was to chop up a bunch of tamales in Cacio De Pepe Sauce (such as it is) it would be: pretty good

zeppo,
@zeppo@lemmy.world avatar

don;'t leave out tamales. It's the same thing, just with masa.

zeppo,
@zeppo@lemmy.world avatar

i feel somewhat ashamed that I have not drawn a distinction - a tamale/ravioli/dumpling is a stuffed noodle, which is way more 3d.
