This is the one I’m excited about. I switched from Sync to Boost and never went back as a redditor.

It’s a bit like having a conversation with a toddler, to be honest. They’ll link together concepts that have no business being together and speak as if they’re the rational ones. It won’t stay that way though—chat bots are evolving at a frightening speed because the capitalists have learned if you can pretend to be a person on the internet, you can buy votes.

You might like StoryGraph better for that. I switched from Goodreads because I got sick of all the social aspects of the site. I just want to keep track of what I’ve read and update it so I get a Spotify Wrapped like experience for books—StoryGraph offers that.

This guy was shopping around discount tickets in a way that makes it seem like his company was in financial trouble. Willing to take a $100K haircut on the ticket price just to get bodies on the sub?

Give Revolt a try if you want something that feels like Discord without all the bloat.

Check out Cataclysm: Dark Days Ahead. There’s a version on Steam to support the developers, but you can download the executable for free from their website just like DCSS.

They tried to walk it back by only cutting deals with app developers that blind people rely on, like RedReader with its screen reading functionality. But that just highlights how selective reddit is being at working with third party developers. So fuck spez and reddit. I hope the blind community gets everything they meed from their Lemmy instances.

I switched away from Sync to Boost some years ago, but would happily switch back for a Fediverse app. Jerboa is okay, but it doesn’t have the slick look I’ve come to expect from reddit apps like Sync and Boost.

He’s a doomsday prepper with a massive bunk. He’s actively driving society to the brink thinking bunker living is going to save him and his millions. All it takes is one trigger-happy shotgun wielder to realize your millions mean nothing. But always remember—he’s hoping, expecting society as we know it to end in his life time.

My question is how long are they going to let him flounder as CEO? He thinks Musk is doing a great job at Twitter when in reality, there are so few advertisers on the platform that once you block the handful of Amazon bot accounts you have a basically ad-free feed. Before Musk took over, you’d see advertising from trusted brands. Now? It’s a video of some useless junk and a link to Amazon to buy it—or weirdly custom t-shirts. That’s not good business. Twitter is gasping and dying and the CEO of reddit sees it and goes, “damn, maybe we should be doing that?”

Yes the devs need to work on the multireddit feature that reddit themselves abandoned.

The spez articles are gross, especially the interview on The Verge. He’s clearly salty at Christian Selig for building an app that iOS users prefer over the default reddit app. He rails against developers making millions on reddit’s content. But its not reddit making the content. Reddit is a content aggregator. Stop aggregating your content there. Stop consuming it there. Reddit dies without its power users.

Thanks so much for sharing this extension. I was looking for something that worked better than the tab tree extension I was using. I also found a way to custom edit the userChrome.css to hide the top tab bar—which really makes Firefox feel like Opera. Love that.

The changes are coming at a good enough clip that it feels like it’s worth taking a stand here. Even if things don’t feel like reddit yet, we’re getting there. Enough people leave and they’ll have a pool of content consumers and no creators and that’s a fast ticket to a quick death.

They’re betting that the masses are too baked in to care. Reddit’s CEO said it himself, they’re counting on this to blow over. The best message you can send to them is to delete your reddit account and in the box that asks why you’re doing so, tell them you’re leaving for lemmy. Encourage your communities to follow you. This has happened one before with us old-timers who remember the Great Digg Migration. (Interesting internet history read if you have time.)

I just switched to this and it seems to be what I expect from ‘Hot’. Hot seems to include popular posts from weeks to months ago and that’s just not the definition of hot, really.

Digging in their heels like this just convinces me that I made the right decision as soon as Christian Selig went public with his post. This goes way deeper than just them not listening to moderators and app developers. The CEO of Reddit is willing to kill the platform if we don’t get in line—fuck spez. I hope reddit dies a thousand deaths a day as people migrate to the fediverse that fits them best.
