How about we just scrap the ISP instead and start over with a company that can list what they are charging for? This isn't hard. Either it's a legitimate fee or it's not. I have a feeling they just don't want to disclose that they have been ripping people off for a few extra bucks every bill for the last decade.

I think person* is the keyword here. Many families have several people concurrently watching streaming video, listening to music, and playing games that are required to have an internet connection. 100Mbps is not enough.

Leaving the country is probably a terminal mistake at this point.

So anyone can pay to manipulate content now, and not just people with big pockets? Neat. I think I'll just buy @ernest more coffee...

You're willfully dancing around the actual point OP is making. You can't be a grown adult and think this concretely without doing so in bad faith.

The point is that opposing this is directly showing support for Russia...

They are two disparate software that both work on the ActivityPub platform.

Lemmy is a thread aggregator(like reddit) only, where kbin does thread aggregation and microblogging(Like Mastodon).

Both software federates with others, so you can see lemmy communities on kbin, and you can see kbin magazines on lemmy.

Between SmartTube for my Chromecast, Vanced, and now ReVanced, I haven't seen an ad or sponsor on YouTube in years.

I'm very confused about the 'better counsel' part. Do you actually believe that iphones are a better phone?

Well, there is an exhaustive list of everything he's accomplished in his term so far; which is a lot.

They're not fans of Corpos in the cyberpunk community. What a shocker!

It could mean all content, full stop. Everything can be offensive to someone.

No offense, but what is wrong with the current icon? The purple folder looks great.

I've popped over to reddit a few times since this all started and the place is just a fucking black hole of anger and toxicity, every sub.

I don't even care that there is growing pains here as the platform literally crawls out of the womb - kbin is an infinitely better community already.

Reddit activated a word filter that whenever you say "fuck spez", your comment won't show up for anyone else. I just tested it on ModCoord. they're also deleting spez memes from the subs they nuked lol

r/ModCoord: The admins in charge of demodded subreddits are mass-removing images of Huffman previously shared on them...

Well, they have enacted an auto-mod removal of any post with "fuck spez" in it now. So, yea, they are actively censoring posts.

He probably finally googled himself and found the 32 million instances of "fuck spez" that pop up.

I guess the "won't effect accessibility apps" was also a blatant lie...

I'm glad they're making changes.

The way I understand it, is that advertising money is not put into NSFW content on the site, so by making every big sub NSFW they are effectively punching reddit in the wallet and trying to make their IPO fail.

So did r/shitposting. Their sub is a massacre right now.

@couragethecowardlydog Yes, but it's a top non-politic internet story, and on literally everyone's mind who just jumped ship to kbin/lemmy.

And as strange as it is to say, people are also grieving for a loss. Reddit has been a daily addiction for many of us for a decade.

It's interesting that this story is being picked up by business news sites now. I don't know if that's good or bad, but it's at least catching the business world's attention.

@zekiz the most significant impact will happen at the end of the month when the 3rd party tools that have been running the place quit working.

Ad revenue. I'd rather give money directly to my instance owner.

Spam and porn are flooding kbin already

There is a substantial amount of spam and NSFW posts on the All page coming through already. Most NSFW posts aren't being tagged as such and are coming right through. I am not sure how this can be weathered but we need something in place fairly soon, I feel like we are days away from rivers of bad stuff, especially via some of...

If posts are tagged nfsw, then they'll be blurred, but unfortunately people aren't consistently using the nsfw tag. Most of the nsfw content is coming from lemmynsfw.com - I've asked one of the admins over there if they can just auto-apply the tag to any post on their instance with media attached.

They replied that they are looking into it.

Star Trek: Discovery’s upcoming fifth season will be its final voyage (www.theverge.com)

I really don't understand the hate this show got. I really enjoyed it! A unique concept, story driven - season long plot arcs, great acting, incredible visuals, and fantastic characters. Sure there was some goofy stuff in there too, but star trek always has goofy shit....
