They likely didn’t go very deep in their research. Like others mentioned they didn’t go into the details of the extremely high prices of the API access price.

Large, well-funded organizations

Never heard of these orgs but this sound like they’re funded by foreign entities trying to destabilize our democracy. All theoretical of course.

Shouldn’t the government prevent this kind of funding? Or at least investigate it? This seems unlikely that they would be funded locally.

Really like it, sadly I don’t think the people I’d share it with would be willing to read through it. I’ll try with word of mouth for now and use this as a backup.

Yeah I agree with your comment too. I feel like most communities are really pushing for positive interaction even in the case of disagreement. I’ve seen only positive interactions so far.

I feel like people missed the main point when this all started getting pushed back in the 90s. The campaign was “Reduce, reuse, recycle”, but everyone just focused on recycle. The reduce and reuse were mainly ignored, but are the more important aspects than recycle I think.

Yeah, this seems like a sketchy way of pushing adds. I’m fairly sure ads shouldn’t be pushed in the notification tray.

The removal of the custom thumbnail is refreshing. No more wired reactions with an arrow pointing at something.

I’m going to give this a try. The sponsorblock people have great ideas!

I find Lemmy generally more welcoming to post comments. Its likely because of the lack of bots and trolls. Let’s hope they stay clear from here.

I believe it’s related to privacyguides.org. The team behind it lost contact with the domain owner of privacytools.io and to continue the project needed to create a new domain.

I believe that’s the story if I recall correctly.

This was bound to happen. On the eve of their IPO, they need to show that the site is running normally and that it shows promise to be profitable.

Now I’m not so sure whoever they pick to be more will be up for the task considering that they have gimped mod tools.
