I’m now seeing reports over on !RedditMigration@kbin.social that people who have deleted all the comments from their accounts - even those who did it years ago, not just in the past few weeks out of protest - are having all their comments reappear again. This apparently also includes comments that were overwritten with edits.
Scummy behaviour from Reddit, but a potential boon for archivists. People who are running backups or maintaining archives of Reddit comments might want to take this opportunity to re-check historical deleted comments to see if they can be collected now, in this remaining window of API accessibility.
Even better is to post the text of paywalled articles so people without access can still read them.
If the fediverse is going to make the big times it’s going to have e to handle porn.
That’s how I wound up here too.
Oh, nice. I was hoping I’d see something like this, it’s an open protocol so complete alternative implementations to accomplish Reddit-like functionality is great. Nobody can rest on their laurels or assume that they get to decide what features are allowed.
Even if Twitter and Reddit don’t completely crash like Digg did, making them “just one among several” will be a good thing in the long run. They’ll actually have competition for a change.
Crypto is decentralized, though. It’s an honest way of describing it. I think that more to blame are the specific crypto users who gave it a “bad name” with their shenanigans and equally the people who took that as an excuse to dump on crypto in general.
Didn’t they say that they were planning to no longer release new “versions” per se, but just keep on updating the existing operating system indefinitely? Perhaps they had the bad luck to start that strategy with one of the bad releases.
but says his issue is with how Lemmygrad is not communist.
Nope. I don’t care whether they’re communist or not, they’re apologists for authoritarians. The communism thing is just an excuse they dress that up in.
If the technology was to become widespread it would have to do better than “silly digital ski goggles” anyway. I wear glasses, I wouldn’t mind slightly bulkier glasses if in exchange I can get a heads-up display telling me what the name of that person who’s greeting me that I should totally know the name of but have forgotten right now.
Indeed. As much as the changes that have been made and will be made to Reddit over the years are appalling, it’s not the fault of the workers in the trenches. They get their directions from on high.
Seems ironic in a thread where someone’s looking for minimally-blocked instances.
But on the plus side, perhaps it illustrates the value of blocking.
I’m not basing my statement off of any experience with Marxism-leninism. I’m basing it off of my experience with lemmygrad posters here on Lemmy. For example, this thread about the Tienanmen Square anniversary. I don’t particularly care about the specific political ideologies on display.
I’m not speaking about you specifically, I have no idea who you are. I’m talking about lemmygrad in general. Just like the person you were responding to was talking about. He asked “what did lemmygrad.ml do?” And I’m clarifying that.
It’s not that lemmygrad.ml is simply “communist.”
Be mindlessly propagandistic “communist.” The countries they fawn over aren’t even particularly communist, they’re just authoritarian. Russia in particular is run by capitalist oligarchs.
It’s just tiresome and pointless engaging with them.
Well that’s not a good sign. I hope the potential flood of users brings a flood of devs along with it.
Seems like this should be a high priority feature. I did try joining a different instance but at the time only lemmy.ml was functioning and accepting applications. Now that I have subscribed to a bunch of communities starting afresh would be a bit of a hassle.
I’ve been chasing the old Usenet feel for decades. Reddit came close, but I can see the writing on the wall now. Lemmy’s got the possibility to get closer.
Of course. That explains why when day transitions to night you see the Sun zoom off into the distance until it diminishes to nothing, with the Moon zooming in from the opposite direction until it’s big enough to see.
