Reddit is purging NSFW subs as well as trans-related subreddits

I am hoping the EU and Blue States does a funding program to make open-source and federated projects more user-friendly. There is far too many proprietary ecosystems that will turncoat within years. We need alternatives that are approachable and easy for people to transfer their lives into.

Even in the Working From Home age, that content is Not Suitable For Work because the blood frequenty rushing away from one's brain isn't good for productivity.

It's FDoS when it's federated.

A post i saw in reddit back in the day mapped the net of linked communities in comment section. To surprise of no one, nsfw and sfw were in practice fully seggregated.

I hope they are paying the hosting bill for all that media.

The telltale will be what they do in other markets, like Europe.

Are they going to be so spineless as to change for Belgium but not for the US? Will the 51th state have a rainbow?

Thank you. His face still looks very punchable.

I'm wagering they don't do anything at all anywhere. The absolute most might be a 'happy pride!' page buried somewhere.

But, honestly, as a gay dude, I don't care. This was all performative nonsense anyways. It was, at the very best, just some virtue signalling bullshit marketing thought might sell another car or book or potato or whatever the fuck, and never ever actually meant support or willingness to stand on principles or even get fucking involved in anything - though, I'll admit, there were a very few exceptions to that.

There's lots of shit needed, but an avatar picture that's just fucking marketing from trillion dollar companies ain't it, boss.

We should not forget that these people scrunched up their faces at Twitter itself for years and said ”but what is it?” Only in the fullness of time did it permeate our entire society.

This is a very good point that should be pointed out more often. I think the longevity of the ecosystem matters more than the active user count today. Eventually through pure erosion lemmy and other decentralized platforms could wind up winning in popularity as well if things get worse everywhere else and they're stable enough to continue adding new users.

How this is called that when "lemmygetnaked" would've been infinitely better I'll never know...

[gigasser@lemmy.world]

Is it really that complex? The API fiasco had me moving here, and I'll tell you right now, I ain't the tech savviest.

[drthunder@midwest.social]

No, but pretty much everyone with a shred of power here is either fascist or too chickenshit to stand up to them.

[scarabic@lemmy.world]

You’re probably underselling yourself. Obviously everyone who can read this made it over this barrier so I knew there was a high probability of responses like “It doesn’t seem hard to me.”

I understand. But I’ve actually had lots of opportunities to sit in a usability lab, observing digital product testing with regular people. And let me tell you, most of them struggle with basics. TBH it can be hard at times to keep from bursting out laughing.

[scarabic@lemmy.world]

Reddit was obscure and nerdy for a long time too. Look at it now.

He looks like one of those rich kids who gets the shit beat out of him after pissing off the local Rednecks and Mexicans.
