Firstly, it’s a bit suspicious that your name is only a few minutes old. Secondly, I hope you live in a society that understands innocent before proven guilty, because all you’re doing is insinuating to damage someone’s reputation.
You haven’t proven anything, that last name coincidence is nothing. These are different last names. You’re damaging an individual’s reputation without any substantial evidence.
Meh… For those who regret their decisions (please don’t), a new account can easily be created. Karma is gamification, it is meaningless.
But what exactly is it for? To have superficial conversations about how tasty their food was? Then it won’t work. All meaningful conversation is inherently political. We just need a good platform where parties can talk to each other with respect.
This is what they alleged:
Twitter claims in the cease-and-desist that Meta has poached dozens of former employees in the past year, some of whom “had and continue to have access to Twitter’s trade secrets and other highly confidential information” and “many” of whom have “improperly” kept Twitter documents or electronic devices.
“With that knowledge, Meta deliberately assigned these employees to develop, in a matter of months, Meta’s copycat “Threads” app with the specific intent that they use Twitter’s trade secrets and other intellectual property in order to accelerate the development of Meta’s competing app, in violation of both state and federal law as well as those employees’ ongoing obligations to Twitter,” the letter reads.
So much this. The leader on top is the one who instills the corporate culture. In this case, the engineers have no say in the matter. They need to do what they’re told.
Things are getting worse. Some subreddits like /r/breastfeeding, which were private from the start, are now being forced by Reddit to make their subreddits public. It’s completely stupid. r/breastfeeding NEEDS to stay private to keep creeps and weirdos away.
Unfortunately, Discord can’t be replaced right now. All my gaming friends are using it and I don’t see any FOSS software that can replace it right now.
I think a static page page explaining to users that the server is being upgraded would be best.
Right now, they can’t even maintain their Infrastructure because Elon Musk fired more than half of the employees, how will they be able to maintain this?
Lemmy/Kbin are the way. Freedom vs a capitalist platform that wants to satisfy its shareholders.
sigh, it’s hopeless, it will not happen. Reddit is now looking to fill a “Senior Machine Learning Engineer, Ads Targeting” position (https://boards.greenhouse.io/reddit/jobs/5009252). Which means that it wants people to use its app so that it’s machine learning algorithm can target ads to users and make money for its future investors.
We’re talking about a capitalist platform. Reddit’s whole purpose right now is to go public (IPO). Lemmy/Kbin are the only free platforms.
In one interview he said he was exhausted from this ordeal and that he just doesn’t have the energy to rewrite Apollo to Lemmy.
I used the internet since 1998 and I remember when Reddit was this little known site with not a lot of users. It took years for Reddit to get where it is right now.cl Lemmy will likely take that trajectory or perhaps, be a second Reddit but with better discussions.
For Lemmy, if all goes well, will take years to have a significant amount of active users. Perhaps subreddits will slowly deteriorate, pushing more people toward Lemmy… No one knows what the future holds…
I have to say, well written article (too bad they only mentioned Beehaw and not Lemmin). Reddit cannot exist without user content and more importantly the moderators who do a hard job for free.
Without moderators, subreddits simply become a free for all, the far west.
The problem with North America is that it is closed to trying new things because it believes that its way of doing things is better than the rest of the world.
For example, roundabouts could help with traffic flow and reduce accidents, as they have been proven to do in the rest of the world. But unfortunately, North American drivers are absolutely terrified of them, so cities will not implement them.
Long story short, Beehaw is a heavily moderated instance and said that Lemmy didn’t have strong moderation tools yet. So for the time being, they have defederated.
Here’s their rational: https://lemm.ee/post/58240
What you’re mentioning is key. Lemmy is exploding right now. Imagine when all third-party apps cease working… It’s gonna be crazy.
As somehow who lost a close one to cancer, quit now and not later. The more you wait, the greater the chances you’ll get cancer. Don’t wait and regret it.
