Vivaldi and Brave can modify Chromium to disable this feature. Chromium is open source after all.

Now she’s buying upvotes on Lemmy too!!

I’m glad to see this but app stores have anti review bomb measures so this might not make a difference

California already has a law for this and they’re doing just fine

Reddit was the same way after the Digg migration. Everyone was talking about Digg for a while. Over time, Digg mentions became more and more rare.

It measures the most popular sites by dns lookup. Twitter fell from 32nd to 39th.

App users still make API calls to Twitter’s domain. Depending on the domain name, these app users might still be counted.

/u/spez wants to restore Reddit to its former glory but knows that shareholders would never allow it. He decides to single handily rescue Reddit through and inside job that burns Reddit to the ground so Reddit can be reborn as Lemmy, the purest form of Reddit that surpasses even the original. Lemmy’s wild success steers the entire Internet onto the path decentralization, as it was originally intended to be.

Thank you /u/spez, you are a true hero.

Makes no difference to me.

I stopped using Reddit and I’m glad that I don’t have to worry about this kind of user hostile changes.

I was using mobile website on ios but then tried the Memmy app. The app experience is much better.

It’s likely used for fingerprinting, not optimization.

Using Firefox to post on Lemmy - feels good man.

Having said that, Firefox would be much better if Mozilla would spend their resources on improving the browser instead of random shenanigans.

Maybe a jailbait mod who also secretly edits user comments with his admin privileges is not suitable to be CEO.

I will never use it but if Threads steals users from Twitter, that will reduce Twitter’s dominance and make it easier for other users to switch to the Fediverse.

Just make sure to defederate Threads from the start.

Lemmy needs to make Hot the default. It’s a better experience for new users.

I never used Twitter but after using Lemmy I fell in love with the Fediverse and created a Mastodon account.

I started following accounts that were on my RSS feed and I’m currently using Mastodon as an RSS on steroids. I may use it more in the future but for now it’s a good start.

If the discussions have been going on for that long, why this exact moment in time, and why such a short deadline?

Why any moment in time? We did it when we did it. We could do it a year from now and we’d probably have the same conversation. We could do it five years ago, we’d be having the same conversation.

I guess what I still don’t quite understand is, if this has been thought about for a long time, is the goal just to meet this deadline and move on? Like just turn a new leaf from there?

We don’t have to meet our deadline. We told folks hey, we need to come up with a plan, or we’re going to start billing you on July 1st.

Complete mess of a CEO. I'm so glad that I'm not using Reddit anymore.

The more users Mastodon has, the bigger the incentive for public figures to be there.

I created a Mastodon account today, so I’m doing my part.

If you want more OCD, the right side fence is lower in the image compared to the left side.

We’re just being nitpicky, OP. Love the picture!

Looks like it has back problems.

Arranged like Pascal’s triangle

Is it unrealistic to allow only unedited images in the competition?

Trying to be controversial on purpose.

Tokyo night theme looks very similar to Atom’s One Dark theme. Is there a connection between these two?

Need to thank Musk and Spez for pushing their users to the fediverse.

How would this make us immortal?

Why is Chromium slower than Chrome?

Most reddit topics were about Digg in the days following the Digg exodus. Over time, discussion shifts naturally.

What does your username mean?

I’ll always stay on Lemmy and there’s no way for Zuck to win me over.

I switched to clang a long time ago, when gcc’s support for C++11 was not that good.

Why do you personally prefer gcc?

I wonder if search engines will see content duplicated across multiple instances and derank them thinking it’s SEO spam. Or maybe I’m overthinking since google is already full of SEO spam.

What specific parts of Arch Wiki do you find useful as a Debian user?

In an ideal world these APIs would be free. But corporations exist to maximize profit and their value is the user network and the content that users generate. Of course they will try to milk it as much as possible.

I’m actually curious the reason why Lemmy does not have a karma equivalent.

I don’t miss it since I rarely checked my reddit karma but it does have pros and cons.
