How long did it take to get the reply?

When I had the realisation I thought it would be a great way to explain Lemmy to people, but immediately realised that I’d then have to explain usenet to them first 👴🏻
Just add usenet on the front end there.
I don't know about traffic, but this is a great live view of the subs going private.: https://reddark.untone.uk
Does that mean we're spamming your timeline when we reply here? 😀
Indeed. If you read the actual statement they got, you’ll find that The Verge has been very irresponsible in how they reported it.
“We’ve connected with select developers of non-commercial apps that address accessibility needs and offered them exemptions from our large-scale pricing terms,” Reddit spokesperson Tim Rathschmidt says in a statement to The Verge.
This is just PR fire-fighting. There’s no commitment to do this for any other apps. If people prefer the different accessibility features of other apps, then they will remain screwed.
Haha, -1 is the cruelest number. Much more negative than that and you can just blame the hivemind. But the fact that just a couple of people think you’re wrong makes you really want to start explaining why they’re wrong to downvote you.
It will. It will make the mods and the power-users realise that Reddit don’t care and won’t change course. Then it’s up to them.
No. They will unperson any recalcitrant mods and drop in their own henchmen. 90% of Redditors won’t know what has happened and will just end up watching many more old videos of kittens falling over posted by bots as Reddit slowly follows Digg into irrelevancy.
The Reddit board will continue to focus on charging AI bros through the nose for access to our content until they all get bored and leave the wreckage with their pockets full of loot.
Usenet! What is dead may never die.
“It’s all LISP-based. And it’s astonishingly slow.”
Oh god. If anyone gets their hands on the songs we wrote together, the shame will kill me.
