size is not what made reddit bad. commercialization is.
cross-posted from: feddit.org/post/37870004
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.

Unser #Oktober|tipp knüpft unmittelbar an den #September|tipp an. Wir stellen Euch diesmal also die #Möglichkeit der #steuer- und #sozial|abgabenfreien Erho-lungsbeihilfe vor.
Aufgrund der umfangreichen Voraussetzungen für Betriebe mit mindestens 5 #Mitarbeiter|n, ist dieser Tipp vor allem für kleinere #Unternehmen interessant.
Als #Arbeitgeber könnt Ihr die soziale Bindung zu Euren Mitarbeitern stärken und dabei gemeinsam mit diesen noch #Steuern und Sozialabgaben sparen. Aber auch darüber hinaus ist es eine Win-Win-Situation.
Schnellere Erholung, weniger #Stress und eine bessere #Arbeit|satmosphäre sind sowohl für Euch als auch für Eure Mitarbeiter ein echter Mehrwert!

Ihr habt Fragen zu unserem Beitrag oder einen Vorschlag, zu welchem Thema wir gegebenenfalls als nächstes einen Beitrag erstellen könnten? Dann gebt gern Be-scheid. Wir freuen uns auf Eure Rückmeldung.
@mariusor Did you see the secret reply from the screenshot? Does the reply count for your post show one more than you can see?
@alex nope, that didn't show up in my mastodon notifications.
Also it doesn't show up in the replies collection for that post, which is the problem I was complaining about.

There have been two main points of focus for the project over the last month. The text editor, and something of a finalisation of the hardware for two models of permacomputer.

In unserem #September|tipp möchten wir Euch eine #Möglichkeit zeigen, wie Ihr als #Arbeitgeber einen kleinen Beitrag zu der Erholung bzw. Regeneration Eurer #Arbeitnehmer leisten könnt.
Das Zauberwort heißt „Erholungsbeihilfe“.
#Arbeit|geber haben so die Chance, die mentale und körperliche #Gesundheit Ihrer #Mitarbeiter zu fördern, indem sie ihnen konkret dafür zusätzliche Mittel zur Verfügung stellen.
So sind die #Massage gegen verspannte Schultern, ein Erholungsbad für freie Atemwege, das #Waldbad oder anderen Aktivitäten im #Urlaub, die das Wohlbefinden der Arbeitnehmer stärken, keine Frage des #Geld|es mehr.

Israel's ongoing big side war:
31,000 buildings in southern Lebanon destroyed so far this year, 333,000 people displaced. Not very newsworthy in Europe; I guess because it doesn't affect our fossil fuel supply.

@Weather_Rock_Wx @tweak @ascentale @bikenite Oh, computer too. YEAH. It all interacts, I've been dealing with RSI since _grad school_, you've gotta behave _everywhere_ to keep it at bay. Or at least I do. So yeah, do _all_ the things (including strength training!) and that'll really help. Or does for me, anyway.
@moira @Weather_Rock_Wx @tweak @ascentale @bikenite Not to fully disagree, but maybe don't do _all_ the things _all_ at one, at least not ergonomically. From experience, 'ergo on top of ergo on top of ergo' can lead to problems: I switched to bars with a large sweep, Ergon grips, and used gloves with ulnar nerve padding at the same time and did a right number on my hands.
Over the past few days, I've been working on some Linux-based setups, bringing back some of my old solutions (with a few adaptations) to make them work the way I like. Mostly inspired by some of the ideas of simplicity that come from the BSD world.
I'm using Alpine Linux as a base, and I've been testing these setups on both proper servers and SBCs, for various reasons.
And, all things considered, some distributions (like Alpine, for example) have remained fairly true to the original ideas of simplicity and predictability. I still enjoy using Linux when it’s logical and predictable.
And this got me thinking: some distributions have gone from:
"Hey, we're a solid, simple, and reliable alternative to Windows. Give us a try!"
to:
"Hey, we support practically all your hardware, just like Windows" (which, to be fair, was a real achievement)
to:
"Hey, Windows! I’ve become just like you!"
As if complexity automatically meant "enterprise-grade", and being "enterprise-grade" were something everyone should aspire to - even on a laptop or a small SBC.
There's nothing wrong with solving complex problems. Some complexity is unavoidable, and sometimes even necessary. But complexity should be the price we sometimes have to pay to solve problems, not something we proudly advertise as a feature.
Otherwise, we end up exactly where we started: just like Windows. Or perhaps even worse.
You wrote
>"Hey, Windows! I’ve become just like you!"
Which distributions in your opinion have become that bad? I must have been lucky not to stumble upon them which must be because of my strict execution of the KISS principle
When for example decades ago KDE started to become big in recourse demands, I simply went to Window Managers which gave me the feeling of fvwm & twm. If I wanted something fancy I went to Enlightenment which was still very light in resource usage.

@ChrisPirillo To be frank, I hated the original Fallout 4.
I found it virtually unplayable, and I have boycotted Bethesda since.

I'm a Beardo who is morally opposed to furries.
You want fur? GROW IT YOUR DAMN SELF AND QUITIT WITH THE PURPLE BODY MERKINS, YOU BEARD-APPROPRIATING FREAKS!
Imma need a stripe on that pride flag...
@johnhattan @kilroy_was_here Hairy as a Polish grizzly though in an effort to not scare children or have people think I’m going to steal their picnic baskets at the beach, I keep my pelt seasonally trimmed. Though if people want to furry, go right ahead. Have fun. Just don’t ask me to do it or make it a position I regret.

True!
TIL there are EVs that will show power consumption in horse-power hours (as apposed to kilowatt hours). The mind boggles.
