Have strong opinions, but I welcome any civil fact-based disscussion.

  • Less of a problem on Lemmy where karma is not publically displayed.

  • No. They lack API apps could use.

  • For me there are 3 reasons for choosing Lemmy over Kbin.

    1. Kbin has karma system.
    2. Kbin is based on PHP.
    3. Comments on Kbin magazines when using copy url to fediverse are not public, but locked behind login.
  • You could use something like Cryptomator, but it's more focused around cloud. Veracrypt is still the go-to for offline encryption.

  • Mozilla followers are like a cult members. Mozilla has done a lot of good, but it's far from perfect, but some people just refuse to accept any negative comments about it.

  • Don't forget Linda Yaccarino, she's not as crazy Elon Musk, but her view is similar.

  • Twitter is already struggling with For You being hardcore porn every 10th post. Not everyone wants that so they are bleeding that "huge amount of people".

  • Definetely!

  • I'll leave you with one of my favorite quotes.

    „We are going to die, and that makes us the lucky ones. Most people are never going to die because they are never going to be born. The potential people who could have been here in my place but who will in fact never see the light of day outnumber the sand grains of Arabia. Certainly those unborn ghosts include greater poets than Keats, scientists greater than Newton. We know this because the set of possible people allowed by our DNA so massively exceeds the set of actual people. In the teeth of these stupefying odds it is you and I, in our ordinariness, that are here.We privileged few, who won the lottery of birth against all odds, how dare we whine at our inevitable return to that prior state from which the vast majority have never stirred?“ - Richard Dawkins, Unweaving the Rainbow: Science, Delusion and the Appetite for Wonder

  • Depends on the instance. Discord is starting to mandate the phone number in addition to email.

  • Wouldn't know, I don't even check it anymore.

  • That I can see. Will be interesting to see how much of a hit to their IPO this was.

  • I agree and even if they revert the changes some people just won't go back. They did so much more damage to their reputation since the original issue of API changes.

    Reddit won't die as some ignorant people hoped for, but enough people migrated to create something new.

  • Jay Peters was very objective on this, so much so that Reddit started to refuse to answer his questions when asked for comment.
