They got pulverized
Apparently there’s been a “compress the rich” hashtag going around.
Though That 19 year old didn’t want any part in this, was scared of the whole thing, and only went to appease his father
Yep, I try to upvote everything and comment as much as I can. I’m still confused about how to post to specific instances on Jerboa though. Like I’m typing the name but it’s not showing up in the dropdown
The most discouraging thing that happened was that when I wrote a long and thoughtdul comment and press send, Jerboa gives me the “java type blabla” error, and I lost everything I typed. Then I don’t wanna type it again and I just give up on commenting
Hopefully these issues will be fixed soon! As I understand it it’s not even an issue with Jerboa specifically.
Newbie question: what is the motivation of the parties creating these bots? What do they gain out of this? Are they seeking to destabilize lemmy?
I’m also new to this and I’m confused about something. On jerboa, when I click a link like the one you just posted, how can I subscribe to it? It seems to open it in-browser but within jerboa but there’s no subscribe button or anything
I’ve never heard of that. Where did that rumor come from?
You mean the big expansion pack they released a while back? It was incredible, the devs just dropped it one day out of the blue, all for free, nobody had asked for it but everyone was amazed by it.
Been replaying Into The Breach. One of the best turn based tactic games there is out there.
And this means we’re not giving them clicks or anything? It’s basically as if we’ve never visited in the first place?
I get that “no ads no tracking”, but does the proxy give them a view? I don’t want them to get any traffic from me, proxy or otherwise.
Thanks for sharing
I’ve been wanting to boycott Reddit for a long time, and the list of problems I had with it was very long. It took this API issue to finally get some community action.
But in short, Reddit is moving away from genuine community, and more towards fake astroturfed corporate content with manipulated comments and unabashed bot activity.
Is this internet feudalism?
I uninstalled reddit. It’s the only way to kick it off
If you can’t be monetized, you’re just noise. They don’t see their community as people, they see them as data to be harvested and eyes to be advertised to.
r/Canada was taken over by alt-right a long time ago. r/OnGuardForThee had to be made in response to that. I feel like Reddit in general is going that direction. The sheer volume of bot activity on most major subreddits is insane.
And some ugly-ass NFT snoo abomination
Yes, it also had something to do with the optical center. No one’s is viewing these cursors at the size of this meme. When they’re tiny, the windows one worked for its intended on cathode-ray tube monitors. New Windows cursors don’t look like that.
That being said, these mac vs windows memes are so stupid. I hate both companies equally but I have to use them both for work. What you gonna do.
Wow I didn’t know they were canning old.reddit.
To them, loss of 3rd party users is insignificant because they’re users they weren’t able to monetize to begin with
Is anyone here old enough to remember SomethingAwful and communities like that from the early 2000s? Lowtax drama aside, during its hayday the community was the source of so many OG memes. Here’s hoping that Lemmy will have that nostalgic feeling.
