We know…

Just amused by the juxtaposition, obviously they weren’t contradicting you (or replying to you). lol.
I’m easily amused. :)
"... We provide access while offering more variety, but let people pick and choose how they want to participate. Like, mahjong is super popular now, mostly with women but men, too. It brings people together..."
Okay, I don't know a single person who is Gen X who plays mahjong or EVER played mahjong. But maybe I don't know anyone.
@ai6yr Really? I recall there being a thousand versions of mahjong available on 1980s computers. It seemed almost as common as solitaire.

@Unixbigot I love the claim that even though this has been done safely in Germany, Australians are not as smart as Germans and will inevitable fuck it up.

Reddit was always shitty from when
The only reason the jailbait sub came down was do to main stream media pressure - if you missed jailbait was a “SFW” sub for posting reveling photos of other people’s children to be gooned over. It was voted “Subreddit of the year” in 2008
the mod who ran jailbait was an ICON on reddit for years and he also modded dozens of other equally questionable subs
The insane redditor backlash to them banning FatPeopleHate sub - which for those who missed it was a sub dedicated to posting photos of overweight people without their knowledge so the internet could mock them. This was mostly made up of - yes you guessed it - mostly photos of fat women getting mocked.
Leaving up the BeatingWomen sub that is specifically for posting videos of women getting beat up for 10+ more years after jailbait came down.
leaving up the Creepshots sub, a sub dedicated to upskirt and down-shirt photos of unsuspecting women, for YEARS and only taking it down due to to it hitting the main stream news and forcing their hand. This sub was also modded by the Jailbait mod.
the RAMPANT sexism and racism as thinly veiled intellectualism that has gone on for DECADES
Ghislaine Maxwell was a moderator on worldnews - I cannot back this claim up so I am removing it.
The API thing and forced logins is probably one of the least shitty things this site has done.
you have a right to surround yourself with people you enjoy, indeed, you have a right to happiness

Yeah size isn’t what made the culture, politics and capitalism is.

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.
Always remember: The most common causes of issues are PEBCAK and 1D10T errors.
@Crell Guessing shipping slop is a subclass (oop inheritence) of the latter?

@wonkothesane well we raised Tapestry awhile back and got some pushback and a lot of people dropped subs. I think we're still out ahead, but barely. So it helped.. but not enough, really.
@bigzaphod Sorry to hear that. You all make great apps
Despite saying on libreboot and fedi earlier, also rboot, that 26.11 release and beyond are UEFI-only, I did add this today:
https://libreboot.org/docs/install/legacy.html
I no longer build GRUB/MT86+ in lbmk, but i wrote an easy guide for users to re-add it. FUN FACT:
The EFI version of SeaBIOS (as CSM) here is ReBIOS. I briefly used CSMWRap in 26.10, but ReBIOS is a continuation of it and it's... better in every way. It has full VGA emulation for starters, so legacy operating systems work - graphical mode switching works, and it can switch back to text mode. It's a full, libre VGA BIOS, unlike the SeaVGABIOS code. I'm thinking of how to port this to coreboot framebuffer (libgfxinit) for legacy SeaBIOS setups.
Anyway. here are some photos of ReactOS booting for the first time in Libreboot. Booted using ReBIOS CSM module, added to Libreboot EDK2 using the above guide. Yes, this is amazing:
(could also boot old Linux/BSD with this - e.g. OpenBSD from before it had kernel mode setting / drm support):
I am safe from the possibility of being honeypotted because I apparently I will not notice someone was flirting with me until I am in the car, leaving the party.
@evacide I didn’t even realize it then. I just never noticed. Nowadays, my wife has to come out and say, “I'm flirting with you. This is me flirting.”
Sorry, the app encountered an unexpected error
