An old banger and Old Bangers?

We are the smart people from Reddit. Even if we don’t know everything, we know which way the wind is blowing.

How long did it take to get the reply?

The kbin server is massively overloaded right now so things like federation of messages are badly impacted. But once that is over you should see the the same content in a group no matter where you follow it from.

When I had the realisation I thought it would be a great way to explain Lemmy to people, but immediately realised that I’d then have to explain usenet to them first 👴🏻

Just add usenet on the front end there.

I don't know about traffic, but this is a great live view of the subs going private: https://reddark.untone.uk

Or dafter people. Looking at you Real Civil Engineer.

Does that mean we're spamming your timeline when we reply here? 😀

What a great article. First it gave me a fascinating introduction to an approach I had never heard of before, and then it got me worried about it.

One point that they didn't touch on is that one of the points of maintaining biological diversity must surely to be to maintain a diversity of behaviour. If we start to conserve wildlife by changing their behaviour, there's a danger that we start to favour working with species who are amenable to this approach. Imagine a future where biodiversity consists of an extraordinary range of breeds of canids, pigeons and rats!

Indeed. If you read the actual statement they got, you’ll find that The Verge has been very irresponsible in how they reported it.

“We’ve connected with select developers of non-commercial apps that address accessibility needs and offered them exemptions from our large-scale pricing terms,” Reddit spokesperson Tim Rathschmidt says in a statement to The Verge.

This is just PR fire-fighting. There’s no commitment to do this for any other apps. If people prefer the different accessibility features of other apps, then they will remain screwed.

Haha, -1 is the cruelest number. Much more negative than that and you can just blame the hivemind. But the fact that just a couple of people think you’re wrong makes you really want to start explaining why they’re wrong to downvote you.
