Boost is the app that took me away from BaconReader… But none of that matters now.
Well Boost did announce they’re making a Lemmy client, so…

This is my thought exactly. As it becomes easier and easier to use these sites, with apps and everything, we will start to see more crazy and stupid conservatives.
They’re too stupid to figure it out at the moment. Most of them at least. And the ones who aren’t, are the ones who are aware that they’re ideology is trash, but they are using it for financial and/or tax reasons.
Nah, horseshoe theory is bullshit. Militant far left, and militant far right are shitty for very different reasons.
I don’t really understand reddit’s angle here… Why would they provide zero cost API access to an app, as long as the developer of the app isn’t making a profit? Are they trying to act like that was the issue they had with these third party apps? That they e profitable?
How does it make sense for them to allow an app for that reason?
And who are they going to have take over mod responsibilities (for free) in all of these communities at once? This is why mods need to call their bluff and force them to try to replace them.
I can’t speak for anyone else, but I haven’t been back to reddit since the blackouts started. No desire to.
“Landed gentry”… Because that’s what I think about when I think about unpaid employees.
Can we stop trying to coin cute terms like “enshittification”? What that term describes is just capitalism working as intended.
There is a term that describes this behavior that we’ve been using for at least decades (to describe behavior that has happened since the inception of capitalism): rent seeking.
You got paid, because it’s required by law that you do.
That’s not true. Maybe it varies from state to state, I dunno, but I live in an otherwise very blue state, and there’s no statute on the books saying that a private employer must pay for time missed for jury duty.
They are required to allow you to go if you’re summoned, but beyond that, it’s their choice. Obviously, most (if not all) choose not to.
I got called up once and was picked for a case… It was dope. Luckily, it was during break when I was in college, so I didn’t miss any (real) work. And it was only for maybe four days. And it was for a pretty boring insurance fraud case…
But it was still super interesting. Really cool experience.
Before they know it, they’ll find themselves in a sea of shit content and ads, and realize what they lost.
I think there is no evidence that corporations are going to do what you all say they’re going to do
My friend, learn some history.
Who would know that? Surely not the average user, since we weren’t all invited to this meeting, and everyone who was would be under NDA…
I haven’t really messed with Lemmy at all yet, but Kbin is almost exactly like signing up for/using reddit. if you can use reddit, you can figure out Kbin very easily.
So, because us laymen can’t think of exactly how they would do it, that means it’s not possible?
The best (and often only) indicator of future behavior is past behavior. And if we go on that, I think we all know how Meta looks.
You would only ever know what Meta would be willing to tell you anyway. Also, there’s the whole NDA thing.
Massive corporations never “throw money” at people or things without strings. I’d be very wary about what taking money from Meta would mean.
I’m sure they’re watching the reddit situation very closely.
