Oh, looks like I’m switching instances.

France out of all places was actually considering this?!?

I talked about piracy a whole bunch in the switch piracy subreddit.

Wonder if I’ll get sued in 10-15 years for it along with the 1000s of others.

I remember when the female dating strategy sub did this rather successfully.

They were about to get banned anyway for the incel-like behaviour and took it upon themselves to switch platforms.

Just be thankful it’s an 8 minute video and not a 2 minute tic tok full of weird facial expressions.

I think it’s just because this guy left a comment, the algorithm picked up the post again.

Kinda like ‘bumping’ a thread in the forum days.

This post is 2 years old lol

Because they aren’t really volunteers. They love the power they wield and would do anything to keep it.

The real volunteers already quit.

Yes that’s true. That’s why I can confidently say any browser because they are all the same.

Reddit doesn’t respect that on iPhones through any browser.

So anti consumer it hurts.

This is the true final blow to third party apps.

I noticed they did something similar to the mobile website. Even with appropriate content blockers there’s absolutely no way you can see sexually explicit content on mobile without their app.

And somehow some people are going to use this as reasoning that they need more guns to defend themselves.

Bigger than you think.

Most people who moved over are more likely to be contributors.

Only like 1% of redditors ever interact with the platform.

Instead of looking at ‘how much they lost’ think about ‘how much we gained’. This effect has started the network effect for Lemmy.

Here’s my point though:

You follow people on twitter. If the people you follow stay on twitter, you are forced to use twitter to see what they post.

You follow topics on Reddit. If the community doesn’t leave Reddit, that’s okay. You can still find the exact same community over here or start one yourself.

That single distinction will make this platform more successful than mastodon.

Wrong.

It has a way better chance because we don’t need to rely on popular people joining for it to grow. Anyone can start a community for any topic.

oh… I saw a meme about this and thought it was just a joke.

Sounds about right

Will that android technique work on IOS too?

Edit: nvm Apple blocks Firefox extensions, curse you Apple.

Reddit wants to turn itself into tic tok, where they control everything their users see and interact with.

This clampdown is the first step in allowing them to affect people’s political opinions through censorship.

For example they can easily hide posts talking about certain news events in their main app, like the one we are discussing here.
