My favorite part about Reddit is they have ongoing contracts with google and open ai to scrape all their content live for training
But the fediverse can be scraped for free
I’m sure they are already running lurker instances with custom code for this very purpose.

“it just works”
Same thing why people still use Microsoft, Still pay for Netflix, spotify, etc. It sucks but it just works for them. They also don’t want to “learn” something new and/or different.
Plus people just love to complain, misery loves company.
Just reddit being reddit again…
looks like old.reddit.com still works.
Is that why lemmy.world is now shitting the bed every third load like it’s under a DDOS?
Oh shit, it all makes sense now. Was on .world earlier this morning and thought DDOS for sure. Slow af and dropping requests.
My bad
This might explain why my RSS reader sometimes breaks. All I go to Reddit for via RSS is to read shitposts about my shitty baseball team, anyway. My cardiac health would be better if I just quit.
Mets fan? 😇
Sports shitposts when the team is doing awful is such an amazing coping mechanism. Some really creative stuff comes out.
I think we should call it, “your grave!”
3 days tops before some reverse engineers the app and makes a proxy website. You won’t win this fight, spez. You will just lose in the most expensive way possible.
Welcome to Lemmy!
Someone contact the mods of that subreddit and tell them to point to https://join-lemmy.org/ instead of lemmy.world
I might if I could figure out how to log into their fucking app. Apparently you can’t log in with a username anymore?
I just use desktop agent on my phone if there’s a good answer to something on reddit, but honestly it needs to die and we need to use fediverse more for discussions.
cant exactly be shocked by this, when the masses so willingly accept and adopt much more invasive, information harvesting and profitable apps instead of just using websites.
This is every companies dark patterns.
Guess who doesn’t intentially ruin user experience ? Foss .
Well, most of them… Can’t be perfect.
NGL, the old.reddit desktop site in my phone’s browser with an ad-blocker in, and it’s still workable
Too bad I stick to lemmy now.
