I know posting at all is a very recent addition (is it even out of beta?)

I assume crossposting just hasn’t been implemented yet

:wqa!

There are no stable releases, just a continual rolling build from the single bespoke server farm that can create releases

Such an abomination could be created. Just imagine all the over engineering that would be required.

It would run ANYTHING on ANY platform by incorporating every libc and assembler and VM and dynamic interpreter.

It runs on EVERY platform and thus it can be adequately tested on NO platform.

Holy shit that’s clever

Lemmy really needs filter words for times like these.

I’d also like to argue that they can’t talk about Reddit itself over there any more because of the pervasive manipulation and censorship so we should make space for that conversation over here.

I think you are right about the normal users but I think they alienated a big percentage of top mods. I think the consequences of that are just starting to manifest.

Damn they really hate their users

So basically Reddit sucks at ads too 😂

Do you know something we don’t know? Are they secretly courting a private buyer instead of actually going for an IPO?

Not an advertiser but they generally know % of views (“impressions”) to clicks (called click through rate) and percentage of clicks that turn into sales (called conversion rate).

For that reason, I don’t think they’re trying to get rid of human users completely, just the “troublemakers”.

I think they want to lead the “silent majority” users into a bot advertorial content hellscape where they control all the levers of power and everything is for sale.

Also, infinite layers of meta commentary and criticism of the meta and criticism of that criticism… I’m home

So far almost exclusively on nsfw specialized instances, with lemmynsfw.com being the largest.

Those in pursuit of pure science would probably be best served by creating an account directly on that instance
