I honestly wouldn’t mind seeing an extension to the IRC spec to bring in reasonable discord-like functionality to some servers. It’s time we start moving back to open standards from walled gardens.

I work a day job in IT, have a side business doing IT, work an occasional shift at my buddy’s liquor store, and sell furniture on the side.

I’ll stop buying apple when I can get a multi-core arm machine that’s not made of scrapbin plastic from a traditional PC manufacturer. I have two M1 machines running Asahi Linux and they’re excellent computers.

I’ll mail a 10mm to whoever gets one off the ground

I’ve also heard Squirrel

It’s funny they chose that tactic to promote, seeing as walmart corporate will do all but burn the building down whenever there’s a successful union drive or anything that looks like it could manifest one. They’ll close the store indefinitely for ‘cleaning’, toss any spoiled inventory, and hire an all new crew. So not quite burning it down, but they’ll definitely footgun themselves to prevent any worker choice. Burning it down would do all the work for them.

Literally the two subs are identical in content posted for the last several months

What there needs to be is concerted development focus on fixing these quality of life issues. Unfortunately, there was not much time allowed for this to happen seeing as it was about a week or two from the announcement to the start of the blackout. These things take time and development time isn’t always available.

So my understanding is Reddit, or specifically u/spez, tried to claim that the Apollo developer was blackmailing them over the entire API pricing debacle. The Apollo developer posted the audio and transcript of the call with Reddit showing they were lying. Now they’ve claimed his App is poorly developed and making wasteful amounts of API calls- so now he’s posted a large swath of code online to disprove that also.

tl;dr reddit CEO caught in a couple lies

It’s in the name, mostly. It aggregates content. You can post links, text posts, images to specific communities and have them displayed in a feed of your communities of choice. That’s what Digg was and Reddit is, and kind of what Lemmy is doing- except on the Fediverse.

Same, and it’s an open standard. We need to take the web back to open platforms and standards.
