  • Do you realise what it means to take a subreddit private? What tools specifically do you mean? Have you ever contacted Reddit admins? XD

  • What Reddit believes to be bad content is often calls for violence or homophobia too. What they’re trying to fix now is that subreddits could be easily taken over by a brigade that could change the culture of the place very quickly and mods are powerless to stop it because it’s a whack-a-mole when votes are not public. That’s how Polish national subreddit went to utter shite for example, despite being one of the most libleft-leaning places back in the day. The damage was irreversible unfortunately.

  • I’m not sure about your impressions from this wave of Reddit refugees but I think we’re getting worst of the worst right now because the rule that Reddit is applying makes sense, despite Reddit being shit overall. Reddit upvotes aren’t public which makes people behave like a mob and now that they’re being punished for promoting rule-breaking content these people want a new outlet. Did anyone tell them Lemmy votes are public like everything else on ActivityPub?

  • Eh, don’t bully some random developer that created an app few people like. It was made for weirdos and those weirdos must appreciate having their own app.

    I’m getting an impression that lemmy.world federation has been super slow recently.

  • It doesn’t try to cater to everyone and there might be controversial design choices. This can mean anything from something great and ahead of time to absolute horrors of user interface design [link removed] depending on your perspective and a particular app in question. I really like what Photon does and how polished it is but it’s definitely not for me.

  • Why Techdirt Is Now A Democracy Blog (Whether We Like It Or Not)

    Jump

  • I don’t think this can come from tech media at all, the system is rotten to the core because of ads and widely accepted sloppiness. The only reason they’re looking to diversify is that new gadgets are no longer that different from last year’s gadgets and AI bubble is about to burst.

    Good journalism could still come but people will have to accept it won’t come free.

  • Most of tech media are not journalists, they sell gadgets and stocks. Most of American tech media were a Democratic Party blogs during US presidential election cycle already. Brace yourselves for even more low quality partisan poo-slinging.

  • Microsoft has pulled back on over a gigawatt of planned data center capacity, suggesting that they do not think there is a growth future in generative AI

  • Ed Zitron is credible but he’s trying a little bit too much for his own good. My guess is loads of people bought into the hype and are now holding the bags awkwardly and we’re left with smug assholes pointing that out. Takes one to know one ;)

    Jump

  • „Microsoft stopped building AI data center infrastructure, therefore Microsoft signals that there’s not enough demand” is a valid point in itself but not enough to merit a blog post that’s this long.

    I’m getting an impression that minor fame and success went into Ed Zitron’s head because he now brags about those word counts and other pretentious shit on BlueSky constantly.

  • How to secure your phone before attending a protest

    Jump

  • I participated in the biggest protests since the fall of Russian occupation in my country. I helped people organise and prepare, I joined a political party and ran in local elections. Results? None, because there was no path to those and leadership up top is mostly concerned about their position. It was actual virtue signalling even though I hate everyone who uses this term.

    What is your plan exactly? There is raising awareness but are you actually convincing anyone? Is someone unaware of what’s happening? What I’m seeing is that libs assume everything Trump supporters say is wrong and vice versa, there’s no discussion so how can any of you convince each other? It was similar here and we’re still stuck with this setup. In a polarised world people picked their sides based on criteria that were important to them and then pulled into a boxing match between liberals and fascists. You could have even agreed on some things but you hate each others guts to the point where you assume all positions of your political football team. If you engage in those ineffective ways of political activism you’re just going to have people run out of steam for nothing.

  • I participated in plenty of protests but haven’t made any acquaintances. I think internet is a better space for meeting people.

    Not to mention sometimes a protest starts peaceful and then goes to shit.

    Taking a look at the Tesla protests it’s just no-impact feel-good thing. Liberals have too much of disdain for non-economic violence.

  • Write down your name and ICE information with a sharpie on your body. Use a rugged phone case.

    Don’t bother going to peaceful protests, they don’t work against post-truth authoritarian governments.
