Because we saw what happens with Reddit. People come in claiming to be “moderate”, and very quickly shit like T_D starts popping up. Also center of the road politics in the US has had rights taken away from millions of people in just the past year, and it’s going to continue to erode them from more. I’m not telling you to change your political stance, but I am telling you that people see them as an attack because they have literally been attacked by “moderates”.

Jacked up prices, added a ton of crappy content instead of focusing on fewer but better quality shows, “crackdown” on password sharing when they once encouraged it.

I agree Musk isn’t a visionary. At one time I might have argued differently, but with his public face and Twitter disaster it’s pretty evident that he’s just a rich guy who finds something neat and throws money at it.

God I miss that 89 Accord… I was young and it was already old. RIP my first car.

If spez was smart, he’s not, he’d find a way to get musk to pay twice the value of it.,

He didn’t steal Tesla, he bought it. He’s been an investor since the first round. The guy is a complete piece of shit, but he is/was a good salesman. He’s the South African Steve Jobs. He doesn’t create/build, but sells.

Yeah, but can an ant properly tut?

I’ll have to do that when I’m on desktop. I’m on iOS safari at the moment.,

Is there a reason to make personal instances versus using kbin.social ?

So I joined one cell, but due to an underlying nerve network, I can see what’s going on in other cells and vice versa, unless someone pops off the limb. Right?

So me reading lemmy devs updates is telling me what’s going on in their cell, but it doesn’t directly affect my cell, yeah?

But like… how did all get created? Is it literally just pulling from all federated instances?

Also, I see threads that are originating on kbin.social referring to lemmy and lemmings as if we are in lemmy.

Wonder if leopardsatemyface has made it over

They did years ago. AlienBlue was the unofficial “official” app. It was the most popular Reddit app on the App Store. Reddit bought it and at first it was fine, but then Reddit decided it didn’t like supporting AB and its official app, so they shut AB down and forced everyone to their official app.

I’d be willing to pay for Apollo premium(I should have a while ago) to pay for API costs, but fuck Reddit! Seriously if Apollo/RIF came forward and said “Reddit is going to charge us for API, the price is high but reasonable” I’d have bought Apollo premium to help out, but 20mil? Nah, that’s Reddit crushing competition and fuck them.

Spez is lying out of his ass in that AMA. “Reddit isn’t profitable”. Bitch! You’re telling your VCs are fine propping you up for almost 20 years without returns? I smell bullshit.
