Twitter has started paying Google.
They really did. I could have swore I saw r/blind officially migrate to Lemmy or Kbin a week or two weeks ago as well.
For Facebook being Facebook, I can’t help but think how will they screw up “Threads.” Instagram has become a junk platform and WhatsApp has declined as well. Meta or Facebook will try to monetize Threads or ActivityPub with their own take. I can’t believe anything decent let alone good will come from this.
It’s going to take some time or you can create the community. July 1st just arrived. So people are still trying to figure out what to do about Reddit. Not everyone was going to migrate to Lemmy July 1st when 3PA shut down. It’ll happen over time. In the meantime we can all do our part and contribute to the different communities now and create content so more people will want to join.
It’s like huffman and musk are sharing ways to screw over users and their platforms. I get a company needs to make money but personally, I don’t think this is the way.
This is crazy. I want to see if it actually blocks you from reading tweets. The article didn’t say when this goes into effect though.
Facebook and Instagram have been doing this for years. It was only a matter of time before Twitter started it.
Mlem and Memmy are in the works for iOS as well and these apps seem promising. So much better than using Lemmy in a mobile browser.
Facebook and Instagram already do this. It was only a matter of time for Twitter.
Hello. Welcome
Well, it’s only the “Brave rewards” icon in the toolbar that you have to disable. Otherwise it feels like any other browser.
I haven’t used Google in a while. I have been using Brave Search and it has been good. They don’t rely on any of the big search engines anymore either. They have been building their own index. Right now they only rely on Google and Bing search for image search.
I had use FF for years until a couple months ago. I have been using Brave browser with the crypto stuff disabled. More often than not, isn’t chromium chosen because of performance and the project gets a lot of contributions?
DDG was also caught downranking search results or censoring them. Regardless of what is being censored I don’t think it should be up to the company to decide for individuals. It should be the individual who does their own due diligence and decides for themselves what they want to believe.
Here is the article.
I wasn’t sure if the writers strike was still happening. Earlier today I did search on YouTube for his segment on the reddit situation to see what he had to say.
He could kill old reddit by next week. Not a matter of if but when. The beginning of this year he said there wouldn’t be any changes to the API this year. Then a couple months later he changes it.
The wsb army is mobilizing. That would be great to see.
What will be interesting to see is the number of users for reddit after June 30th. How many leave when 3PA shut down vs how many stayed and use the official app. I have pretty much left reddit as most of the subreddits I am subscribed to have gone dark indefinity and will leave for good come June 30th.
Exactly what I was thinking. For Lemmy being an alternative to Reddit, yet instances have closed registrations. That is a way to get people not to sign up.
What Wander replied. Also you can subscribe to which community has the most subscribers/most active. Having a couple communities of the same topic can also mean the communities can be smaller than one huge community. A smaller community can have better discussions than one huge community.
