  • This sort was introduced in Lemmy 0.19:

    A new scaled sort option has been added. This sort is identical to the Hot sort, but also takes into account the number of each community’s active monthly users, and so helps to boost posts from less active communities to the top.

  • "Just like the megathread," an announcement reads, "free-form ads encourage multiple users to come together, get the information they need, and deep dive into the topic at hand." Reddit explained that the open-ended nature of these ads will give advertisers more freedom to explore creativity and, hopefully, to start conversations with users.

    Enshittification to the extreme....

  • Reddit is planning six tiers of early access based on each "participant's contributions to Reddit," the company said in its updated SEC filing. Those tiers are based on a user's "karma" score, ostensibly an aggregate total of up/down votes on posts and comments.

    The first tier of users will be those "who have meaningfully contributed to Reddit community programs," though what that means isn't explained more clearly. After that come tier 2 users, who must hold at least 200,000 karma points or have taken at least 5,000 moderator actions. Tier three includes users and moderators who hold at least 100,000 karma points and have taken 2,500 moderator actions. Tiers 4 and 5 are each half of the previous tier's total, and tier 6 includes everyone else, with a waitlist available if the total number of shares purchased exceeds the original 1.76 million.

    Basically people who karma farm with low effort posts. This will only encourage low quality posts.

  • Ever since Musk's control of the company, Twitter (I refused to call it X) showed me multiple hate and racists posts. Basically, Twitter is showing me garbage. I now use Mastadon instead.

  • What the hell is HP's printers unit smoking?!?!

  • From the book Napoléon, l'esclavage et les colonies (Napoleon, slavery and the colonies) https://a.co/d/0gaXPow

  • One should read the history of Haiti. They were the first slaves to revolt and become free, so France wanted them to pay for "lost business". So they had to pay off a huge debt. And the U.S. didn't want Haiti to succeed because it would have encouraged slaves in the U.S. to revolt. So Haiti got roadblock after roadblock.

  • Haley won’t announce an endorsement Wednesday, two people told NBC News. Instead she will encourage Trump, who is close to having the delegates needed to win the GOP nomination, to earn the support of Republicans and independent voters who backed her, one of the sources said.

  • The United States workers need to copy the French! Unite and strike! Workers always have the power when they unite their forces.

  • Trust me, pc buidling in 2024 is a piece of cake compared to the 90s, early 2000s...

  • And that is why it is so important to have unions that have teeth. If the workers were to unite and go on strike all at once, like in France, these kinds of bills would never pass.

  • If anything that just makes you more suspicious.

    Nah. I work from home, I need to use my work's VPN to access resources that are only available to those on the network. VPN use is now generalized.

  • Because quoting Old Testament verses like that is a slippery slope. You are entering the realm of Jewish law, where many Jewish scholars debate the law in the Talmud with many commentaries.

  • If they really want to cite old testament verses, they should also refer to the Talmud.
