Given their post on mastodon saying they won’t defederate, I would bet money they took that meeting and signed an NDA.

Maybe they even are getting some funding out of it.

This is all speculation of course, but if they don’t deny it then I think it’s pretty likely.

It’s a web app! No download required.

If your not using wefwef already, try it out.

Closest thing to Apollo right now.

Oh, looks like I’m switching instances.

MacOS.

Prefer Linux but I like the Apple hardware so I’m giving it a try.

Actually we still can add posts and comments, but just users from our instances and the ones we federate with can see it.

I’m a little confused myself as a Lemmy.world user. I was able to leave a comment on a behaw technology forum and got upvotes on it.

It’s the beginning of the end if you catch my drift.

There’s no way Reddit can recover from this.

Even if they were to revert every single poor decision in the last 6 months right now, the damage is done.

They showed their true colours, and everyone is done with the platform.

Long live Lemmy.

This whole Japan nuclear wastewater thing going around the news has me shaking my head.

The word nuclear in general just scares people.

What you’ll likely see is the button links to a centralized service that sends you to the Lemmy instance you are logged into

So the button would never link directly to any Lemmy instance but some central server that sends you to your own instance.

Who would run that server? Probably the same guys who develop these button integrations.

Email is the one thing I don’t bother self hosting.

You need to use an existing host with reputation or most of your emails will end up in junk or be outright blocked.

I remember when the female dating strategy sub did this rather successfully.

They were about to get banned anyway for the incel-like behaviour and took it upon themselves to switch platforms.

Just be thankful it’s an 8 minute video and not a 2 minute tic tok full of weird facial expressions.

What’s to stop someone from just not checking the ‘bot account’ option for their bot though?

I showed my friend all of the privacy problems with threads and his response was ‘I don’t care, they already have everything anyway’.

I told another friend and their response was ‘I don’t care if they have my data, it’s not much use to them and it doesn’t have any effect on me’

The world is hopeless.

I think it’s just because this guy left a comment, the algorithm picked up the post again.

Kinda like ‘bumping’ a thread in the forum days.

This post is 2 years old lol

If they didn’t get paid by Reddit they likely sold it on the dark web.

Because they aren’t really volunteers. They love the power they wield and would do anything to keep it.

The real volunteers already quit.

Yes that’s true. That’s why I can confidently say any browser because they are all the same.
