Can someone please help me out? I don't get it

This seems like the right way - informing users, those who don't care don't care with or without. I'd say that's fully withing the freedom philosophy

Considering that these 20% account to probably 80% of inspiring interaction and is made by high value users (so basically us, not bots and normies), this is quite an amount

The domain x.com, which Musk bought ages ago, also redirects to twitter

Comment levels are back to normal. But those creating the posts, initiating engagement are down and it will probably become worse once the API changes are in effect.

Subreddits are dark and posts will disappear from the Google Index reducing traffic to the site. Many big subs, as r/formula1 or r/apple to name a few, are dark indefinitely.

Moderators, those who keep the platform more or less peaceful, are sick of it - as you can see in the blackout rates.

The casual normie or lurker will see a drop in content, the site will gradually or exponentially loose its top value users and become a Facebook.

Or not. We'll know in a few months to come, the internet is a fast paced place.

You can feel humans behind these posts. No AI generated content. No toxicity, no "in conclusion" and stupid summaries. Amazing

The overall writing style rapidly changed about 3-4 years ago. I guess we now know why

Edit: Typo

Surprised I haven’t seen Prison Break yet. After season 3 it just went down

Yes and no. Without a users video history (& other tracking turned off) best they can do is push random ads hoping it would hit one in a million. That is not effective and sometimes even diseffective (hitting a controversially opposite target). Tha harms YouTube on both ends more than the ad’s company

By pushing users to turn it on they apparently gain more than just pushing random horse crap.

One of the mysteries I am facing ^^ selfhost headscale? Tailscale? VPN? CF?

Too many options :D

A copy of all reddit posts & comments is being passed around there. Everything up until March 2023 or so. Unfortunately no community here yet.

Anyone knows more?

Edit: See https://the-eye.eu/redarcs/ and the explanation by r/DataHoarder (linked somewhere below)

Same. Missed in the first day maybe but out of habbit. You can see the growth in the community here compared to just a few days ago. Rich engagement, no toxic users and interesting & diverse content

I have worked with composer, npm etc. All of those out there, but why is composer superior in your opinion? wouldn't be able to pin point anything

idk to be honest, got darker. more toxic. more shallow. cant certainly pin point it to a specific writing style

out of these 80% probably 95%. we'll know, once the bots are cut off the api. except if reddit runs their own ones...

lol probably. but i found my main community here i can still interact with all the others. So why even care ^^

Kbin and other instances are pretty much overwhelmed with the rapid rise in users. Kbin is still in beta, mobile app in development but @ernest is doing an amazing job here at kbin.social. Give the whole space a little time and things will improve.

I found myself with the same issues, just use it for a bit, lurk in magazines and you'll get the gist.

i am just happy to be able to be one of the lucky ones getting a common word. Jealous of @00

If your country exists for just around 100 years you have no culture. So you start making one

Consider hidden costs and sneaky capitalism as their culture

Many subs stay dark indefinitely. Had over to r/ModCoord to get an impression. r/formula1, r/apple, just to name some of the big ones.

You are absolutely right. But the data is out there anyways. Reddit keeps copies as much as Google and other creepy spiders. The amount of aggregated and unified knowledge these dump contain is astonishing. For personal research or just preservation.

There are plenty of sites where you can already see old, deleted comments. So barely a new risk.

Agree. I can always tell if an actor is inhaling or puffing. And (I wish everyone the best in health) this looks just weird.

You know how you sometimes stumble acros comments on reddit with insiders or short hype from 10 years ago?

I came to peace with the fact that this will be the poop situation right now. The first kbin/lemmy insider...

Actually, how does karma or reputation work on lemmy or kbin?

NetworkChuck does videos for beginners, but sometimes that’s just what an experienced user need ^^ thanks for sharing! Watching the video right now

the fuckening just doesnt stop. u/Spez lost complete touch with the platform itself.

But hey, they own the joint. they can make their own decisions.

Oh my.... why didn't i think of this :D

There is, the-eye.eu has a full archive up until march 2023 https://the-eye.eu/redarcs/ (about 2TB total).

You can download individual subreddits too.

See here for more details (reddit unfortunately...): https://www.reddit.com/r/DataHoarder/comments/1479c7b/historic\_reddit\_archives\_ongoing\_archival\_effort/

beep boop. in conclusion you seem like a real human being with emotions.

Masayoshi Son (founder of Softbank and the legendary Vision Found) was lucky with Alibaba once. His strategy is literally (confirmed by many founders) that if you throw enough money in there (usually in 150mn+), it'll scale and be a unicorn.

Well, what do you think happens if you are a unicorn founder raising maybe 500k-2mn and some oversees fund comes along and gives you 170mn with the only goal of scaling globally.

Launch events here, new market there, private jets, ... Softbank and Son is also known for his lax oversight in his investments and throwing more money at it when they become bankrupt.

Another famous example is WeWork (10bn+ investment by Softbank).

And every story is just exceptionally dumb and easily avoidable.

as soon as they realize they really needed them and now they are gone.

as soon as they realize the subs stay dark and traffic from search engine drop.

as soon as the mods can't use bots anymore.

Probably earlier than we think but still unexpected.

Heyy @00 great to bump into you ^^

Eh, did it touch nerve here?

Thanks, the aviation industry relies on stone age systems so wouldn't be too off :D

Not hard to keep it up. Nothing dragging me back to reddit. the only thing i am missing is the immense amount of aggregated information

The fact that hundreds of thousands of users - probably the most valuable ones - are not using reddit (actively) for a few a days now is just astonishing. Sure, the amount of aggregated information over there is still huge so no one can be blamed for casually looking for something specific.

But those users here are the ones initiating the engagement, creating the posts and providing valueable and original content. That dropped drastically.

The majority of users only lurk and comment. Or are bots.

Make sure you have backups of your vault. Reliable backups.

Especially if you are just starting off with docker, you don't want to loose access to all your accounts because you f up some configuration (e.g. redeploy an updated image)

you don't need to sign up to an instance in order to subscribe to communities. in the "magazines" search type @lemmy.ml for example and it'll show you communities from over there. And you can use your kbin.social account to interact with post from other instances through this sitel.

Edit: Except for private communities of course
