I hope more people and businesses come to their senses and move to mastodon.
I hope the businesses who come do like the BBC and spin up their own server. I don't want them making accounts on places like Lemmy, like reddit, where someone is having their username taken away now for 'trademark infringement.' Username was "FoodNetwork."
The fact that reddit just letting business steal fucking usernames is god damned vile.
Saw that post. It's seems since the 3rd party controversy Reddit accelerate it's decay into corporate existence. Still, it's going to take a while for it to die.
I haven't been back since. I can't say Reddit hasn't come up in Google searches that I've clicked on, but no commenting and no browsing around, and certainly no installing the app. Fuck these asshole rich dudes jerking us around. I don't need their bullshit websites.
Newsgroups and IRC were all I had back in the day and we got by just fine. Now let me go find an onion for my belt.
Stop using goog
Still applies with Duckduckgo.
Can you share the context here?
Which context? I was referring to Reddit taking usernames from longtime users to sell them to corporate channels.
Yeah that! Is there a news story or more info about it? Crazy!

Thanks!
Problem is, advertisers likely do not want to go on mastodon because they can't advertise there
And that's a feature not a bug. A lot are waiting on how ad sales will play out on Threads I bet.
Companies give a shit about giving us information. It's all about the advertising, so they will flock to the next closed-source company-controlled shithole.
