The last major holdouts in the protest against Reddit’s API pricing relented, abandoning the so-called “John Oliver rules” which only allowed posts featuring the TV host.

I’m in the post-ban blackpilled mode right no so please forgive me. I know reddit is falling apart but it isn’t happening fast enough. Is there any hope that the whole site will be destroyed? I really just want the whole site / app completely destroyed and thew Vichyite mods unable to have their power trips anymore.
I said this a few times, but I was never kicked off of any website. I wasn’t kicked off of facebook, I wasn’t kicked off of linkedin, I wasn’t kicked off of reddit, I wasn’t kicked off of twitter. I left willingly because I could see the writing on the wall. What exactly is the point of a communications website that you can’t communicate on?
Absolutely no desire to go back, but I do get a kick out of it whenever I see a post about a new batch of people waking up to the fact that big Tech isn’t your friend. When they are going after your enemies, it might feel good but they’re coming after you next. They are always coming after you next.
It was taking around 24 hours to drain just ~1—3 liters of water in my kitchen sink. Probably comparable to IV drip speeds. After a huge effort and expense, I finally fixed it without demolishing the kitchen – which would have been my next and final move¹. Sequence of events:...
The sodium hydroxide left in there would probably turn any remaining fats into water soluable soap (and biodiesel), but it’ll also destroy any copper pipe it spends a lot of time in contact with as I recall.
Edit: alright I'm sticking this up here because a number of people seem confused--this post isn't trying to convince you that "fediverse" is a bad term--rather it's a discussion of why I think "threadiverse" is a good umbrella term, for the forum-based part of the fediverse specifically. (lemmy+kbin)...
I’ve preferred “Threadiverse” for a while, since the ecosystem is larger than just lemmy and kbin. Those are just the two dominant platforms, just like mastodon is the dominant platform on the other side of the fediverse, but it isn’t the only one by any stretch.
Real talk, stuff like the fediverse has always always existed. Usenet, IRC, forums. Even email is a giant federated service.
The thing is, the billionaires have the resources to make something really nice and make you not want to spend time there, so the population stays relatively small.
Realistically, even among tech savvy people we see a lot of people complaining that the fediverse is too complex, and it isn’t a place that can be gamed like big tech so a lot of big names will likely stay over there.
that’s all a good thing. Stay big enough to be fun, small enough to stay off the radar.
I agree with you on that. It’s like you get the benefits of the Internet, but also the benefits of a single point of use.
Let’s look at a lot of game companies – they have their own forums, but they also have to have facebook et al because they want to have something they totally control but they also want something accessible easily. Imagine if they federated their forums, and suddenly all these little forums have a lot more reach and the people in charge of the projects can control them more than big tech would let them. Win/win/win. And we cut out a middle-man in the process.

Fixing my drain required breaking laws, pissing off IRC users, breaking tools…

Still yet another article listing Reddit alternatives, but surprisingly this one mentions both Lemmy & Kbin ( kbin.social )
