Do You Think There Would Have Been a Large Protest if Steve Huffman Just Said We're Charging to Use the API to Increase Revenue?

I've been a long time Redditor and an Apollo user for about a year. I even paid for it. The main draw for me was the lack of advertising. In the back of my head I kept thinking that it couldn't last. Reddit is losing revenue from the lack of advertising views. It didn't...

Same. Only a select few communities I browse now, waiting for them to move on

What happened?

PoE’s sub being one of the first to immediately setup their own lemmy server was one of the biggest badass sub moves of the entire thing.

Was this a community decision or a Reddit one?

And can we continue to expect your awesome support of the community on the federated servers?

Seriously, I’ve learned more about the game from the Reddit sub than the actual game. I think we all have. It would be incredible to see it continue away from such a corrupting influence like Reddit.

Set with now not having competent moderators, and all the content generating users have left.

This is like having a golden goose, and cutting off its head because the HONKs were too annoying

Gonna go great for them…

Going from caging the golden goose to shooting it outright

Sounds about right for that dipshit ceo

Omfg this

Where is the bill to take all infrastructure made using this public money and give the infrastructure to the public?

The internet never forgets

how long until smaller companies and hosts are required to pay?

Oh they never will. They'll be locked out immediately, enshrining our corporate overlords as a permanent position

at this point additional infrastructure should be publicly funded, owned & operated and the telecommunications companies should be forced to sell the internet infrastructure to local public utilities.

Now you're talking. Go run for office somewhere i can vote for you.

Or car manufacturers to build more oil rigs

wait... you expected them to "provide" something to the people who give them money?

These are ISP's, they don't do that here. (Re: the $400 billion they already got to build the infrastructure, that they didn't build and took anyway)

We Need Downvotes on Lemmy.one

Really loving the new experiences here on Lemmy.one. But I’m seeing many subs with off-topic posts. Community downvotes will help overworked mods find and remove such posts. I understand no one likes to be downvoted but it’s a necessary tool for our community and only helps users understand and refine what and where they are...

And not having dog-piling leads to reverse dogpiling, where only those with the resources/know how to have a botnet army surreptitiously upvote all other comments achieves the same thing.

You haven't gotten rid of the problem, you've just removed your own and other average users' ability to participate in the solution.

You mean just like on facebook?

This, tbh.

If you see something racist or objectionable or maybe it just hurts your fee-fees because the post pointed out you take life advice from your imaginary friend in the sky.... doesn't matter. Sometimes you don't want to give the effort of a response

It'd be as stupid as taking away the 'upvote' button, as well, and then saying "well content will promote based on activity! If it wasn't worth a comment or response, why are you bitching about it in the first place?"

Only positive feelings are just as toxic as only negative ones.

Human experience exists on the full scale. To cut out parts we don't like causes active harm to ourselves, others, and communities
