Is that an XKCD, what number is it?

I think you have to use one of the “redesigns” for it to work, or maybe it’s only in the app. Not on Old Reddit anyway.

There are two sides to the coin, just as you can chose which instances to use, they’re free to run their instance how they like, which is how it should be in my opinion. I think it’s a bit strong to call it censorship; it’s their website, their servers, and if enough people don’t like it they can just not post there. This is the same freedom we had with old-style forums, because there was no monopoly in many cases you could select a forum based on if you liked how it was run.

You’re right, they have moderation control over lemmy.world posts, but it’s still your decision to post there. If you feel that strongly about it you can even chose an instance that doesn’t federate with lemmy.world, they exist.

You’ll have to sign up for a new account, yes, but is that a big loss? I mean there’s no karma here, your existing posts and account won’t go away, it’ll just not be the main account you log into any more. I personally think it’s not a bad idea to have accounts on a few instances, I’ve moved around through several.

Why are you still on lemmy.world then? The freedom offered by federation is that you get a choice.

Well annoyingly the article was broken up into arbitrary pages so I couldn’t easily ctrl+f it for that. It is there but I’m still surprised it’s just a footnote given that it used to be what I used out of choice. I assumed it would be what everyone still there jumped on instead of paying, but I guess if you’re still happy with Reddit you’re happy with a lot of crap.

You’ll have to explain, I have no idea what that is or how it’s relevant to my comment.

I really like the default look of Lemmy, it’s refreshingly clean and functional unlike most social media sites these days. And it doesn’t have infinite scrolling which I hate.

Surprised to see no mention of RedReader?

This is the app that I used before I left Reddit and I heard they got exempt from the API charges. Is that still the case? Still seems to be on F-Droid.

Oddly I have noticed, albeit anecdotally, more mainstream people using Reddit as enshittification has increased. This whole experience in the past year has taught me that people are less understandable than I ever imagined…

When does this come up? I’ve just tested Reddit with VPN, and even through Tor and I’m not getting this. That’s not to condone Reddit, I’m just interested.
