Not American but the US had an extremely high tax rate on the rich for most of its prosperous years. It was only recent removed and you now have massive wealth inequality

He kind of already has implemented something like this. If you ever try and load a mobile reddit thread in your browser, you’re greeted with a download the app-wall like 50% or more of the time.

it’s better in the app

So far my favourite is Memmy but I really like Wefwef too

This gets more absurd every new story lol

Should have used the IOS Photo App marker instead

The great thing about that is you can often unlock the FPS and upscale to 4K! I played through the original demon’s souls on rpcs3 and it was great

I’m actually surprised they can’t get more WhatsApp data considering it’s Facebook. I know WhatsApp’s thing is encryption but… It’s Facebook

Even if it IS profitable in the first quarter, they’ll kill it anyway. It seems like Google just gets bored of products and moves onto a new thing

It’s pretty nice if you’re into programming articles! I wouldn’t say it’s a full reddit replacement since it’s more geared to programmers, similar to hacker news but I think it’s worth having around. There’s also a decent mobile app for iOS called Claw

Thank you so much! Do you want a lobste.rs invite?

I’d also love an invite as well if anyone has one. I can return the favour with an invite to lobste.rs :)

These spam bots wouldn’t list themselves as bots so that wouldn’t work

I can definitely see something like that being made as ActivityPub builds up steam

You can start with smaller pieces of the app! Like one thing you can do is to try learning a bit of Python and play around by making simple requests to a Lemmy API to print off a list of posts from the front page.

For learning I’d recommend checking out Codecademy. I got my start with programming there like 10 years ago and I feel like I owe a lot to the website. They have fully interactive tutorials and give you a great starting point.

Good luck! :)

Do you have programming experience? I can’t tell from your post if you’re looking for API resources or general programming resources. If it’s your first time programming, making an app like that might be a bit of an overwhelming first project unfortunately

This is what I switched to (and what I’m replying through), and I really like it. Definitely still needs more pollish but it’s a lot more fleshed out

It’s minecraft redstone all over again

I love it it because i don’t feel like my comments on posts just get lost in a landslide of other comments. It’s a smaller community but we have access to so much content through the fediverse. It’s perfect

I’m so hyped for this. My two biggest wishes for it are better support for public transport oriented and walkable cities, and better performance when playing larger cities

I’m loving this non stop coverage of the blackout. It can’t be a good luck for investors interested in reddit
