  • Can someone explain how this is even possible with a service like Signal? I was under the impression that encrypted messages can't be intercepted.

    Extremely frustrating either way, I hate constantly having to manage different messaging services with different people and I'd really like to not have to add one more if signal becomes compromised.

    Ex Redditors of Lemmy what made you come on over? What happened at Reddit that you made the switch?
  • I'm very much in the same boat, also joined around 2011. I didn't leave because of the API changes, I left because the website was degrading substantially as a byproduct of its userbase.

    Lemmy contains so much of what made reddit special in the early days. It was primarily tech-proficient people who cultivated a strong community, held each other accountable, and valued science and evidence.

    As more users came to reddit, the initial community diluted. Certain subreddits were still special and worth checking out, but the greater whole was too massive for its own good. Plus, I suspect a huge number of new users were teenagers and children, and their comments and maturity reflected that.

    I knew it was basically over once I saw comments on subreddits that regularly made the front page with extremely obvious bigotry and racism. Incescent bashing of women. Comments that reflected the vile nature of the shit comments you'd see on Instagram. This was becoming all too common and was not being moderated. The remaining comments felt like washed out circle jerking or a complete lack of critical thinking.

    The IPO was the nail in the coffin. No good could possibly come from that for the users of the site. Haven't been there for over a year and have zero regrets.

  • Fallout London's project lead is not taking the surprise drop of Fallout 4's update well: 'That has, for a lack of a better term, screwed us over'
  • The thing is, modders are Bethesda's most die-hard fans, and Bethesda games have some of the largest modding communities in the world. Many of these modding projects have taken an extraordinary amount of effort from an extraordinary amount of people. For them to not communicate and work with the community at all is a big slap in the face because modders have given people a reason to continue purchasing their games and keeping their business relevant.

    Is Bethesda obligated to work with modders to try and help with backwards compatibility? Not legally, no. But their lack of effort is rightfully leaving a sour taste in many people's mouths.

    To your last point, I'm sure you didn't mean it intentionally but that is a straw man argument; nobody is claiming that every single mod needs to be compatible with Bethesda's updates. However, if Bethesda at the very least communicated and worked with the community even a little bit, they could make the task of updating mods substantially easier. Instead, they chose not to, and now countless of hours of work will be wasted because so many people will not find it worthwhile to update their mods to be compatible with the new version. It's extremely unfortunate.
