reddit got bad because spez (the reddit admin) restricted API access to the platform for third-party apps, such that people would be forced to use the official app or web UI, both of which display advertisement and collect user data (e.g. scroll behavior).

the reason why this happened is because reddit is a for-profit company and tries to extract money out of the userbase, at the expense of the users.

another example of a bad decision that reddit made was to push a lot of ragebait (“Am I The Asshole?”) because company shareholders want to see “engagement numbers” go up, and if somebody writes an angry reply to a post, that’s “engagement”. but it makes you angry at the stupidity of the “Asshole”, so it makes your day worse. that is another example how reddit makes money at the expense of the users.

size (number of monthly active users) is not what made reddit bad. commercialization is.

we should probably get rid of the “don’t make lemmy grow, it will ruin the platform if we grow” idea.

That’s because they’re actually propagandists for those authoritarian governments pretending to be communist. They’re about as communist as the Nazis were socialist.

Saw a post saying some shitty Christian lemmy instance was spamming bullshit on one of their latest posts, I said something along the lines of “probably Russians”. Come to find out my comment was removed and I was banned… then to find out they effectively have a CCP agent running town… lol.

I’ve seen people mention they were a garbage instance, now I know why! They said I broke rule 1 … this might just be the app I’m using but they don’t even have any fucking rules to look at lmao.

Glad they did the work for me and made it easy to avoid them.

I noticed something:
People who have traveled a lot tend to judge less.

A left-handed compliment?

@RickiTarr With regard to the DC golf course - after we rebuild the public courses, we could set aside a small part, next to the trash cans, of course, for a badly maintained putt-putt miniature golf course that we title the "donald j trump public golf course" (lower case, of course.)

Getting a ban from lemmy.ml is a badge of honour that many like to collect.

@elsemusic I have Trackspacer running on my Linux, but the UI does not work (which doesn't bother me) but I can not update Wine because then it won't work anymore.
I so wish they would also provide Linux versions.

@strypey we've had quite a few interactions related to hydrogen as fuel, and as competition for batteries for transforming our transport fleet... I've written it off all along, and you've rightly called me on it... I notice there's been a bit of an resurgence of hydrogen-powered announcements recently, and this excellent video explains why that might be: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QsnGoAUS334
