I hope that one lesson reddit takes away from this is that they were idiots for letting a small handful of moderators have such sweeping control of so many subs. Moderators who mod 100+ subs are, and always have been, a cancer on reddit, but at least for once they’ve done something to our benefit.

Every OS before iOS/Android was a travesty and only the generosity of time could make anyone think otherwise.

I’ve found the interface at kbin the best of the Lenny sites I’ve tried but there’s still things about it that really frustrate me. Things that, admittedly, I liked about Reddit. But if this places becomes some weird “old hands vs newcomers” site then yeah, I’ll go back to Reddit. Which would be sad.

Tribalism will not help the lemmyverse grow.

If 3rd party apps account for 5-10% of the userbase then it seems insane they’d alienate that 5-10% rather than just figure something reasonable out with the apps. There aren’t that many and they could accommodate them without impacting their desire AI scraping changes.

15 year redditor, though only with ~250k karma. Scrubbed the crap out of my account. I’ll probably still use reddit on desktop for as long as old.reddit exists, but for mobile I’m definitely trying out alternatives.

I’ve seen comments suggesting it’s something to do with PowerDelete. I used Shreddit to overwrite and delete mine and they’re still gone.

I have essentially stopped using YouTube at this point due to the ads, and the first time I get 5 unskippable ads will be the last time I use YouTube. I already essentially quit after it stopped being 1-2 20s skippable ads or 1-2 5s unskippable ads, which I thought was fair as long as it was no more than twice in 20-30 minutes. Now I get 2 unskippable 20s ads every time and there really isn’t anything on YouTube I want to watch that much.

If you’re in the US, call the police.

The bragging rights of a 4 or 5 number ICQ user.
