Killing a giant (Reddit)

cross-posted from: https://kbin.social/m/RedditMigration/t/38559

> I've been seeing a lot of angst and emotion on the Reddit migration, which results in either defeatism or blind optimism. In the end, it probably doesn't matter, but I wanted to do more fact-based research into the subject. > > I put my findings and my analysis into what it would actually take to kill Reddit, based on the deaths of Digg and MySpace. tl;dr it's a lot less dramatic than most people would think.

Count of comments is incorrectly increased by editing a comment on a separate instance

I commented on a lemmy.ml thread from beehaw.org . Even though my comment is the only one the count of the comments on lemmy is 8: !

I believe this is a bug caused by edits to the comment (on beehaw.org) being counted as new comments on lemmy.ml.

Users need an option to block instances
  • The views on lemmygrad are very much outside the general acceptable norms for the English speaking internet.

    Even if you agree with their views, you must admit that it is very off putting for most people who come to Lemmy.ml.

    I think the purpose of a default instance should be to showcase the software, not to showcase the current community (which is dominated by lemmygrad users right now)..

    I think either:

    1. We should have a new default instance.
    2. Have no default instance.
    3. Lemmy.ml should stop federating with lemmygrad.

    Personally I have been using and promoting Lemmy less because I find the lemmygrad content off putting. I feel a similar way about this content as I did about place like r/thedonald in 2016.

  • People who condemn Russia for invading Ukraine are hypocrites
  • Most European territories serve the USA’s geopolitical goals. Sanctions against Russia right now are part of that. There’s nothing moral about it. It’s simply a service to the USA for being in its sphere of influence. There is nothing, not a single shred of integrity in that.

    European countries must send a strong message that war in Europe is not worth it... hence sanctions. They are not dooing it because they "serve the USA’s geopolitical goals".

    How should anti capitalists invest?
  • I think it is broadly ok if your investment doesn't exploit others.

    This could be investing in something a community can share like:

    • FOSS projects
    • Community gardens
    • Food banks
    • Non profit orgs

    However, like other people have said it is practical to invest in some things for yourself:

    • an emergency fund
    • Land you can live on (to protect against unpredictable rents)
    • even some stock and cryptocurrency is acceptable to some degree (imo) as in many countries large savings are required for old age.
  • [TINY GUIDE] How to stay safe from Pegasus and most social engineering malware these days
  • It might be a good idea for journalists and other targeted people to have multiple burner phones for different activities.

    That way if your personal device is infected itnisnkess likely to compromise your human rights work.

    You would probably want to turn off any phone you are not using as they are able to access the camera and mic.

  • Please boycott Brave
  • I don't really agree that Brave should not be used because of a toxic fanbase.

    I think the best reason not to use Brave is that they are a marketing/advertising company that claims to give their users privacy. Advertising companies will always have an incentive to invade privacy as it increase add revenues. Brave is just copying Google's business model with extra steps.
