Reddit has informed moderators of communities that are still private in protest that they will lose their mod status by the end of the week. Thousands of communities went dark earlier this month to push back on the company’s planned API pricing changes.
I think the best analogy is email. Email is built around standards, and it doesn't matter if you use outlook or gmail. That's similar to the fediverse (the standard) and knime/lemmy (the email providers in the analogy).
I'd been using Reddit for 6 years; thousands of hours. All gone, in a quick(ish) running of a script. And once it's gone, it's gone. Link rot is gonna be so much bigger soon. And everything that represents a mark on the platform from me will be gone....
Most Scifi fans I have ran into can pretty quickly rank the four stars –BattleSTAR Galactica, STAR Trek, STARgate, and STAR wars, but what lesser-known or less-prestigious shows hold a special place in your heart?...

Hey, I was thinking about getting a VPS and hosting my own single user Lemmy instance. I am trying to think of other things to host. I already have some old hardware running unRAID with Plex, the *arrs, Kavita and home assistant. This is pushing my hardware to the limit but I still want to mess around with some self hosted...
I don't get a lot of the negative sentiment here. To me Firefox is vastly superior to Chrome. Mozilla refactored and optimized performance years ago, which fixed many issues I had back then. It's open source, not driven by the interest of gathering data for the purpose of selling ads. I've set it up in exactly the way I like with some extensions and customizations that aren't possible in the Google browser. I can have hundreds and hundreds of tabs open without my computer grinding down to a halt. Is it perfect and aren't there things that can be improved? No. But it's pretty near to me.

3M has known for half a century[1] that the effects of PFAS are dangerous, yet ignored the danger. The parallels with the fossil fuel industry (climate change) is noteworthy here. There's other industries that come to mind; tobacco and pharma for instance. Until these companies and the people responsible are truly held (criminally) accountable, instead of given a slap on the wrist (i.e., cost of doing business fines), nothing will change.

Wiping my Reddit account as we speak as the 30th begins to roll on in. Anyone struck by nostalgia?

'Umberto Eco: A Library of the World' is a timely epistemological rumination on the difference between knowledge and information.
What are things you would rather host on a VPS as opposed to a local machine?
