How the fuck is Reddit closing their API behind a ridiculous paywall only the SECOND stupidest social media move of the day
Boy I sure picked the wrong day to quit sniffing glue
Well I picked the wrong day to quit amphetamines!
The day is not over yet
Limit rating your core audience in their primary task is completely batshit crazy. Thank fuck for mastodon.
You know the fediverse isn’t perfect but it seems more sustainable than these big social media companies that are not profitable. Reddit and Twitter make no real money but want to host everything on their website and I’m not entirely sure why. Image boards like 4chan purge all their data and the fediverse is spread out to a bunch of different servers. What’s the point of keeping everything forever on one server? Do they really think that all that junk data is valuable?
Also why did reddit go from just hosting text to hosting images and videos? It used to be a link aggregation site now it’s a never leave our borders site I don’t understand how that’s going to be profitable with how much hosting that data is going to cost.
Years ago I used to hit like 15 websites a day just for video game news and discussion then it became all reddit.
Miss the good ole days of porn on gfycat
As Cory Doctorow termed it, it’s the enshittification of the Internet - all for the sake of “shareholder value” It’s a proper “can’t see the wood for the trees” business
Miss the good ole days of imgur, YouTube, and porn on gfycat
I for one am cheering its demise.
So unless you pay Elon Musk $8/month, you can only load 600 tweets per day. That’s some fucked up shit right there man.
Limit READIND is something new. What a creative move!
I don’t even use Twitter anymore, but after this, I went there just to delete my two accounts.
Traditional internet is killing itself
Just these monolithic social media companies really. And I don’t really consider anything “web 2.0” to be traditional internet. Newgrounds was traditional internet.
I would say the traditional internet was before the time of corporate ruled media, so in that case I’d say corporate internet is killing itself and and media is going back to traditional, at least with respect to the Fediverse.
The fediverse came just in time. I wouldn’t have even heard about lemmy/kbin or mastodon if reddit hadn’t shut down 3rd party apps.
They seem like they’re trying to bleed a stone.
Nah, Web 2.0 is killing itself. Turns out dipshit greedy pig boys aren’t great at running social platforms
You know things are going well when you have to restrict content consumption on your content platform.
Please please please let this be the breaking point at which big online personalities switch to mastodon, or at least start using those crossposting tools. That’s the only thing I miss from twitter and something RSS cant replace
Everyone always saying “rip Twitter” but y’all never leave, so…
I know, somehow people aren’t leaving despite Elon’s best efforts.
He is so unbelievably dumb?? 😅
Wow that’s my Twitter and Reddit account deleted within 24 hours
This is the result of a deranged fascist being born with an apartheid silver spoon in his mouth.
Probably an emerald spoon in his case.
Indeed!
But there’s no proof his father even owned emerald mines!! I mean outside public records and his father’s admission and assertion that it’s true!!
Name me one piece of evidence outside that!! You can’t
