Yep. Would have gladly paid $10 a month for Gold had it included API access for RiF (only fair, since I’m skipping the ads).
But noooooooo. Reddit didn’t want my money, evidently. So, after 11 years of a VERY active account (made or commented on 10-15k posts over that time), I deleted and left.
It’s fine. Lemmy stretches that itch to “scroll” something. And I can use whatever damn app I want.
So, 2003 called…
(Sigh. Enjoy an upvote)
Doesn’t it literally mean “whore-son” (huren-sohn)?
My German is poor.
TIL you can cross between the border of Oklahoma and Colorado, technically…
A fool and his money are soon parted. From the same class of vehicles that tried to lock heated seats behind a monthly subscription.
You know what’s nice? Those cars can F right off. I won’t buy one new. And never will buy one used.
Always will be “budget” cars (Corolla, Civic, Versa, etc.) that won’t screw around with this crap because the buyers can’t afford to screw around with it.
TRY to paywall a heated seat in a Civic. I dare Honda. It won’t be more than 10 minutes before someone has it badly wired up like an aftermarket subwoofer.
No kidding.
I’m feeling eerily nostalgic for the (objectively terrible) Bush-era doctrine: “You’re either with us, or we’ll declare your nation a state-sponsor of terrorism”
Your flaw is assuming that a couple only produces one child. Many humans can share the same ancestor.
It’s a clear EEE attack. Do not federate!
I hear there’s a lot of corn on the internet.
Can’t eliminate the “I’ll just do without” competition.
Like, when I got rid of Netflix… I didn’t sign up for an additional new service. I just watch YouTube.
When I stopped using Facebook so much, I didn’t go to another service – I just didn’t use social media as much.
I don’t approve of his Gitmo torture policy. But I’m itching for that upperclass tax cut!!!
(Votes Bush)
Either Putin or Prigozhin end up dead.
Maybe we’ll get lucky and somehow finish each other off.
Yep. NYT style guide. All people are “Mr” or “Ms”
Typical AP style guide omits the title except for the first reference to a doctor, or if it’s the president.
NYT don’t do “paid” stories.
However, the journalism is superficial (lazy) and seems to skim across the surface. This was written by someone who doesn’t understand the tech – so they interviewed someone pro (Spez) and someone con (the super mod) – did some ping pong with quotes and TADA! An article!
And if it got really spammy, we can just block that instance.
I know. Like why can’t “we have enough revenue to operate the business” be good enough?
It’s either go big and go broke for these clowns.
I’ve been on Lemmy since last Monday (like 10 days). It’s meteoric!
Back then, simply posting ANYTHING automatically meant you made the front page.
Agreed. RiF was my world. I literally took the news re: API changes worse than when my girlfriend broke up with me (shortly before). My stages of grief have centered more around reddit than her, lol.
Now Reddit have shown they are toxic. And I no longer wish to add value to their platform.
I miss some subs, but honestly this place is FUN. It’s so old school! And it’s great to see the activity increase daily.
But not for me. I’m forever gone.
And if there are enough power users (lots of comments, posts) like me who feel the same, it will have an impact.
There’s a HUGE middle ground between “nothing changes” and “reddit goes out of business.” As we see with Twitter, you can have a zombie platform that persists but slowly loses inertia month after month.
It’s not that Reddit dies abruptly. It’s that the platform is wounded now and, without attention, will bleed out slowly over many years.
Now we can doomscroll Lemmy!
