I love the fact that both my ublock origin & pihole detect and block absolutely no trackers when I’m on kbin (I’m sure the lemmy users are just as fortunate).
Another shit Reddit moment, I’ve not missed it at all.
They've had issues with CSAM and DDOS attacks - they're probably using Cloudflare to help mitigate that.
just wait until they start monetizing karma. it's gonna turn that site into a race for the bottom
Don't forget their plan to allow users kick out mods and then imagine how people with monetary interests will conspire to kick out mods that stop from from maximising their profits...
Somehow missed that and well... fuckin yikes. Reddit is incredibly easy to bot, this will get abused in short order.
I hate it too. As much as I enjoy Lemmy, Reddit was my go-to social platform thing for a long time. I hate to see it being mismanaged by an incompetent fool like Spez.
Same. It’s heartbreaking. But people were/are not ready/able to save it so we have to move on. As sad as it is.
At the moment my main gripe is that people still refuse to move to other platforms despite it all. I want to scream "It's not going to get better, folks!" at them all of the time. But I am too tired to do it.
They value your privacy.
That's why they'll sell it to the highest bidder. And the second-highest bidder. And anyone else that wants it.
