I already use Revanced to avoid ever having to see a sponsored segment or ad. If I’m forced to look at their awful ads I’ll just go elsewhere.

I feel so sorry for all the people I’ve worked with on the Reddit community team. They get to watch as spez personally destroys all their hard work.

Damn right. The admins I’ve worked with over at Reddit understand this, but spez seems to think he can get out of this without causing an entire mass exodus… and just let his communities bleed off and die. The community team at reddit understands how important both the users and the mods are, why doesn’t spez?

The ideal way that ActivityPub federation works IMO is a bunch of smaller nodes coming together to make a large network.

If you have a bunch of people all on one or two instances then you’ll have a “central hub” of the network that’s constantly overloaded.

That’s my advice to community builders on this platform… Spread out across smaller instances, don’t just all sign up to a big one.

It’s funny because if he’s trying to reduce costs, letting people upload 2 hour videos probably costs far more than having your website be accessible to people not logged in LMAO

Ok but invite who? Any new moderators can see how you treat the current ones. Who the fuck is lining up to get treated like shit to moderate a major website for FREE?

Sometimes when you put it to sleep, it doesn’t actually sleep and the screen stays on but black.

Only thing that seems to fix it if holding down the button until it turns off, then turning it back on again.

You’re missing the bigger picture. If threads is federating with the fediverse, then that means Zuck is downloading and indexing a copy of everyone else’s posts OUTSIDE of threads.

Sure but that doesn’t mean your instances should just hand your posts over to Meta??? And other people here are wrong, maybe lemmy does it differently, but on Mastodon when you defederate from an instance, your instance stops communicating with that instance entirely, rejecting all attempts to exchange information from that server. Anything the suspended instance saw before the suspension sticks around, but that’s basically it. If they never get a chance to even see the information, then the server essentially gets nothing.

“People can scrape your website, therefore you should just submit and allow your server to freely hand all your user’s posts over to meta upon request” is quite the take.
