In what can only be called a significant lack of self-awareness, New York U.S. Rep. George Santos, the serial fabulist under federal indictment on fraud charges, is crying foul.
You might not be aware but Lemmy has RSS built into it. I just noticed myself so I wanted to check out the current state of RSS clients and well, nothing seems to be quite what I’m after....
I think it will be both. Accounts created with Threads will have their own walled garden but will have the option of interacting with other fediverse communities.
Over the time new youtube videos crop up talking about reddit, twitch and twitter issues. And in those comment sections I always like to spread the word of alternatives (like the fediverse). But whenever I do, those comments get quietly removed even though they seem to be posted in the first place....
I'm suspecting its inflated from clueless investors getting misled by tech CEOs and proceeding to overvalue the companies. Good for the CEO and other higher-ups, bad for everyone else.
Google said Thursday it will remove links to Canadian news on its platforms across Canada after a new law that forces digital giants to compensate media outlets for content they share or otherwise repurpose comes into force....
Don't live in Canada but that's what I started doing after I left Reddit. Only thing is that when it comes to gaming news there's no centralized place for it, and most "gaming news" outlets these days end up shoving blogspam everywhere instead of new game releases/updates/drama/anything else. Also what sucks is that some actual news sites don't offer RSS feeds anymore for some reason.
Is this new to post-blackout reddit is or has it been this way for a while. Top post of r/all is a tweet from like 2 years ago about a "current event" that no one has talked about since then and 100% of the comments are talking about this like this topic is the focus of today's or any recent time's 24 hour news cycle. Nearly 30K...
Anyone notice that comments and posts are almost at the same level on Wednesday? Very suspicious, I think spez has really been pumping up bot activity just to give the appearance of not bleeding users.
This should be big - and about time. Studies have known about this for 40 years, and it's known in some circles that aspartame is quite bad for your health....
Ok, imagine this, you are on reddit (say, a slow hobby focused subreddit), everybody there is nice and knowledgeable, and one day, the mods there announced that since there is not enough "content" on the sub, they are going to use a bot to repost content from 9gag in order to "bolster engagement" and "grow the community"....

The moment I get blocked I'm going to Freetube for my pc and Newpipe for my phone, then to import all of my user data. (hopefully Newpipe gets a pc version as well because Freetube is a bit clunky). Maybe delete my youtube account too.
Ngl would like to see the browser vs. app usage statistics for YouTube. They've been moving into shorts hard so I'm thinking that desktop users are becoming a minority on the platform.

Reddit repost bots are spam, and that needs to be stopped.
