Mmm yes, let the snake oil flow through you.

They’d do better finally fixing teams. We’re talking years after release, and there’s still no option to change my status behaviour. It forces DnD when I get called, it puts me afk after only 5min, …

Their software does not fundamentally work very well. So even if this bs would be talking about an actual feature, that’s some stone age project management right there.

Man there’s literally only one thing stopping me from using mastodon and that’s likes.

I know marketing, and shit, and likes sometimes skew things, but without likes any toot is given the same weight, no matter if it’s a good or bad toot. There’s no way for me to see through the chaos that emerges from this.

I know there are reasons not to do this, but I damn well know I’m not the only one, and I’m sure it would make it more appealing for a lot of ppl unfamiliar with mastodon. You could even make it optional so ppl can turn it off and there would be no harm done.

I don’t actually know what bad actors can do.

Well, you’re not gonna like this but every pentesting / vulnerability scan starts with a port scan. It’s really there to probe a PC for anything interesting. Although it’s not strictly illegal because you’re just kindly asking a PC to handover any meta information on what is currently running on the PC exposed to the internet, the trajectory is clear and in the contrast the goal is opaque which makes it shady af.

unfortunately liftoff is not at all working for me currently.

I logged in and now my subscribed community posts are just empty, which is the whole point.

I do wanna see where they go tho.

don’t worry, they’re coming. a bunch of bigger third party app Devs have said they will make an app for Lemmy, and that will include iOS apps as well I’m sure. it’s just a matter of time.

Definitely should put that on the git issues with log files and stuff.

that is giving me deja vu

he already hinted to pulling out of EU Code of Practice

I’m very interested what his game plan is, because he kind fucked himself by firing too many law compliance employees, at least thats what I remember.

That would make the decision even more short sighted.

It won’t end with AI moderation, It will end with moderation that is very exploitable, bad to adjust to all subreddits and because of this whole mess they will drive community engagement into the ground. And that is without even so much as taking a peak on the possible affects to the IPO. It’s gonna be mess, even if the platform survives.

“subreddits belong to the community of users who come to the for support” good way to justify kicking a mod with a passion for such a community and forcing people to post only the things you want.

Because if you force people to have fun they’ll be happy, of course.

Mhm I just got info that a certain Poo the bear wants to talk to you about strongarming communities. But don’t worry, his methods definitely work.

I mean he always has the power to strongarm everyone else.

But the consequence is giant boycotts and decay. Idk if winning is the right word. It’s like going to war and declaring a win because both nations are destroyed.

It’s so impressive to see how the whole community is coming together to basically rebuild Reddit, but open source, and with all the feature everyone needed.

I’ll stay here forever if we keep it up.

How the f do they win this?

Morally? Nah that train left.

Technically? I guess when it comes to user counts and influence there’s nothing really to gain and a lot to lose as well.

Monetarily? Nope. They lost trust, which loses users and stability as well as belief in the platform. They will decrease earnings from investors, selling user data and potential ads.

I don’t see a win here…

I switched to Top Day on jerboa and now everytime I reopen the app it switches back to “Old”

It is. GDPR in the EU dictates that every user which requests their information has to get it in 30 days, and every user who removes their information has to be able to get it removed (I think the time span for that is even shorter, so more pressure for the server admins)

Yeah ppl already predicted it’s probably gonna be a battle of who can place the most shorts in the least amount of time on Reddit stock when they go IPO. There’s no reason to go through with it any longer, it will only hurt his company more.

And specifically this is the way that Reddit will stagnate and die.

By pissing off it’s contributors and its whole community and them just cutting their losses and moving on.

Aand that’s why we need to make it easier for them so we don’t scatter too much in the long run.

Who knew the best “celebrity” endorsement for the fediverse comes from the CEO of Reddit…

oh wait thats such a good idea. Call it a “buy-out” - compile a list of like 1000 moderators who want to voluntariy leave; then sell those accounts on the dark web and just disappear.

It’s the greatest surprise ever. It’s the perfect shovel for the 6 feet deep hole Reddit has started to digg.

oh thats so good that will force other phone manufacturers to stick to competitive pricing…
