This is very clever. Since Twitter success was based on thoses check mark . Do it too Lemmy.~. and gave us karma with a hard limit at 10k/person~
Fuck karma and check marks. I want anonymity back. I want the old internet. This “social networking” shit is lame. Lemmy doesn’t need Twitter or reddit level of success. Look where that has got them.
I love the energy. But without people/success an aggegator is a small village gazing at its navel
The fediverse at large houses over a million users and lemmy/kbin is comprised of hundreds of thousands. There are enough people to form active communities without any strain or bloat.
Yeah i already don’t like that i need a email but i get why so its ok.
Not all instances need an email. The porn one didn’t.
Yeah and they are flooded by onlyfans bots…
I’ve never questioned if someone was official on Reddit such as an AMA. The only people who benefit from this are content creators and corporations. It’s a money grab at best, and at worse a loss of privacy online.
Conversely, I’ve enjoyed having anonymity to speak my mind.
The old ways of the internet are being replaced by state surveillance and eshitification.
Is spez going to change Reddit’s name to ℤ next?
“Now we can shpiff up what already shoulda been there”. ~ u/spez
The time for Reddit to make its app compatible with screen readers was when people using screen readers were still using the fucking app, lol.
Third party apps were being used because they were the only devs who cared enough to let the accessibility users play too, until Reddit was all aw hell no, ain’t havin that, and shut that down too.
Even as Spez et al were angrily insisting how concerned they were about accessibility out one side of their greedy little pigboy mouth, they were refusing to answer straight questions from the mods of r/blind out the other side of their greedy little pigboy mouth. Like they’d never lied before, heh.
Today is exactly that. Reddit has made these promises for years, and as of right now they are still just promises. Greedy little pigboy mouth has opened again, only to spew forth more vaporware.
But now r/Blind is now here on Lemmy, and anyone unable to use whatever broken and limited accessibility accommodation Reddit kludged together after July 1 has split.
But there’s an upside: now Reddit has all the time in the world to do all the accessibility accommodations they swore they’d do ten years ago.
Never change, Reddit. Never fucking change, lol.
