Lemmy really needs filter words for times like these.
I’d also like to argue that they can’t talk about Reddit itself over there any more because of the pervasive manipulation and censorship so we should make space for that conversation over here.
I think you are right about the normal users but I think they alienated a big percentage of top mods. I think the consequences of that are just starting to manifest.
All the Lemmy (and Kbin) servers (instances) can theoretically talk to each other. You can follow communities on other instances and comment and post like you are used to.
You could think of each server as an independent city-state, each with it’s own leaders, customs and citizens.
If two instances have a feud that can’t be resolved, they will “defederate” and then their users will no longer be able to contact each other.
There are Nazi instances here in the Fediverse (for example), but they get blocked on sight so you almost never see their garbage in the feeds.
Does that help?
Damn they really hate their users
So basically Reddit sucks at ads too 😂
Do you know something we don’t know? Are they secretly courting a private buyer instead of actually going for an IPO?
Not an advertiser but they generally know % of views (“impressions”) to clicks (called click through rate) and percentage of clicks that turn into sales (called conversion rate).
For that reason, I don’t think they’re trying to get rid of human users completely, just the “troublemakers”.
I think they want to lead the “silent majority” users into a bot advertorial content hellscape where they control all the levers of power and everything is for sale.
Also, infinite layers of meta commentary and criticism of the meta and criticism of that criticism… I’m home
Nope! Should have everything you need in the box
YoCan Vane is a great budget option (~$50) sold at lots of head shops.
Just let it cool off in between 3 min cycles, and keep the charger close.
So far almost exclusively on nsfw specialized instances, with lemmynsfw.com being the largest.
Those in pursuit of pure science would probably be best served by creating an account directly on that instance
Oh man this is so bad
