Sorry for those
It's not your fault :) We know you admins are working really hard to keep the server as stable as possible.
Thank you for the amazing job, as always! Cloudflare is a solid solution :)
Innocent until proven otherwise.
There are many years of proof already about facebook/meta acting very maliciously, actively breaking laws and being fined for it, is that not proof enough? How many more do you need before you can say they're not innocent at all?
I'm perfectly fine without Ponzi schemes thanks.
650 servers?? they were just a bunch when I joined a week ago, that's a crazy growth!
p.s thanks for crossposting, site is very useful
When did they do that? I tried just now and it's not banned.
It's possible they setup bots to scan links to lemmy and automatically remove them, if they're really doing that, it means they're scared.

relying to lots of ads and ~~older demographics~~ low-literacy masses to sustain
FIFY
Among the "older demographics" there are the most "nerdy" people, those born when personal computers and the internet didn't exist, those growing up together with technology, used to a world when corporations didn't destroy the good of sharing knowledge.
Those are the people most likely to rebel to what reddit is doing and find their way out if it, because they know it's possible, because they've seen it before.
Youngest people are used to how the world is nowadays because it's all they've seen, but they can be shown the difference if they're willing to listen.
Low-literacy masses are those who don't listen because they don't care, people of that sort exist in every age "range" and are unfortunately the majority of content "consumers", that's why Facebook(/Instagram/WhatsApp) doesn't die, and Reddit won't either most probably.
I don't care about fixing reddit either, I don't care if it lives or dies, not anymore, tho it wouldn't be bad IMO teaching the CEO a lesson in humility.
Nailed it! Noone cares about who writes what but everyone cares about what is written.
I too realized how easy it is to jump ship, I started here before the AMA and even if it's been only a few days, I already feel at home, lots of interesting discussions and news going and that's all I need.
I don't agree on going back if reddit backpedals though, I mean, of course everyone has to decide for themselves and I respect that, but being on a platform led by the most arrogant, disrespectful, blatantly lying, stupid, dangerous even individuals (let's not forget spez editing user's comments) is not for me.
I want to be on a service managed by smart people that I can trust, reddit lost my trust completely and they won't get it back.
I don't have any idea of who they are, but I don't get it: we're not preemptively defederating from Meta because it would be closed minded to do so (as per your admin decision), while Meta bad behavior is well documented (they've been fined by EU several times already), and we want to preemptively defederate from these people without even knowing how they will actually behave? Why? Shouldn't they be "innocent until proven guilty"?
