The attitude he seems to have bothers me so much.

"[this blowup] will pass"

He doesn't even seem to take this whole thing seriously. "Give it two weeks, those suckers will have forgotten all about this". It's insulting.

RemindMe! 2 days

..oh wait..

“There’s a lot of noise with this one. Among the noisiest we’ve seen. Please know that our teams are on it, and like all blowups on Reddit, this one will pass as well,” the memo reads. “We absolutely must ship what we said we would. The only long term solution is improving our product, and in the short term we have a few upcoming critical mod tool launches we need to nail.”

In other words, the blackout is not being taken that seriously. The culling of 3rd party apps is still happening. I hope more subreddits decide to go dark indefinitely, and that Redditors keep migrating to Lemmy.

"hanz spez, are we the baddies?"

I'd send them a link to the instance I'm hosting lol. If I weren't, I'd probably direct them to join-lemmy.org with the explanation that any instance showcased there is probably good enough.

Corrupted minds think alike

I CAN DREAM

Fair enough. I'm just going to enjoy while it lasts (hopefully forever)

RCS could have been great if e2e were baked in from the start. Apple would not have had such a strong argument to stay with its own standard and we might not have found ourselves with this divide.

I'm doing all right myself, but I can't say the same for my girlfriend. Headaches, tummyaches, backaches, or whatever random thing it is today, there's always something. She's a few years older than me so I guess I have something to look forward to lol.

Why am I not surprised? Pirates tend to be at the forefront of these kinds of things :)

Did my part and created an instance in the hopes of offloading some of the bigger instances: https://rammy.site

No clue if and how I should promote it, though. Looks like it's just me for now.

I would expect Lemmy to show up equally in the search results if there is enough relevant content. My tiny tiny instance is already showing up in search results, crawlers can definitely find stuff on here. It would be great if at some point we can append "lemmy" to search queries to get the good stuff like we could with Reddit.

It also gives me timeouts and internal server errors from time to time. It was just migrated to another server, that might have something to do with it.

I've been toying with this idea at well. I don't think it's a good idea to scrape all content. This could drown out the lemmy-original content, especially when large subreddits are concerned. Maybe an upvote threshold (Only scrape if more than X upvotes) would be a good idea.

I would also scrape only the post itself, not the comments. Best to have our own organic discussions here.

Finally it should be very clear that a bot is posting these things. Ideally the bot would also ensure it is not re-posting something that was already posted by a Lemmy users just a bit earlier.
