Yes, it's a strange obsession some people have with other peoples's (and usually strangers') bodies.

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.

Did someone vibe-code 2026?

"Oh so you're a woke transsexual I bet you play Sweet Baby Inc games"
- "Actually I just replay Castlevania: Symphony of the Night all the time because I have autism"
- "Gem game, maybe we have more in common than we think"
- "Yeah ~"
- "Still I fucking hate women and minorities"

Jensen Huang, neck-deep in espionage and the largest financial fraud in human history, silly clothes, sad loser: funny.

CEO of large but niche company initiating sexual relationships with subordinates who would reasonably believe refusal was a likely career-ender: not funny.

@davidgerard At my previous job they had a (human-made) 20 year old unreadable spaghetti codebase. It would regularly take me 3 hours of reading multiple files up a stack to figure out how to re-use a simple component. The revolutionary aspect of LLMs is being able to achieve this state in a month.

Today I learned that dobro (the resonator guitar) is named for its inventors, the Slovak immigrant Dopyera Brothers, Do bros, dobro. Also means "good" in Slovak.

Hey Fediverse,

I'm looking for a hosting provider offering Linux servers. It should be privacy aware, hosted in Europe and not supporting fascism.

Ideally not too expensive either

It should be able to run the infrastructure for a not-for-profit organisation

Website, NextCloud, Mattermost

I believe I saw a post talking about a suitable provider lately but can't find it any longer.

That would also depend a lot on when and why you left.

Shutting down jailbait

Shutting down Trumps sub

Banning the word retard

Or instead what if its about some of the things they continue to allow? While not universally allowed, some posts like these can be made

Pro Luigi posting

Memes about kirky boy

Eat the rich

Each of these, if that is “too leftist” could be quite different. You may not agree with any of them, but what it implies about someone would be different.

reddit is still great

My Reddit account is 18 years old and I can tell you that Reddit hasn’t been “great” since 2013; the year of Drumpf vs HIllDawg for US President. Heck I still have over 2 years of “Reddit Premium” from the zillions of tokens I got back when they gave those away.

I was never ejected, still haven’t been, and I moderated some noteable subs. The API debacle and the shutdown of unofficial apps was my last straw. I removed myself from all the mod teams I was on and bailed over to Lemmy.

Reddit still has some cool communities but as a platform it’s best days are long gone. At this point its coasting on inertia just like Facebook.

what the fuck

the new humblebundle site is soooo bad

they let you change your pasword WITHOUT password verification

@revk Thanks for the offer. If it's anything that can be done locally I'd rather avoid your expense.
I will indeed throw a scope / analyzer at it. Can I just hook either side up to a USB2UART? I'll consult the source code and rig up a way to intercept the signals on the link cable.
