  • This is a repost, of a comment in a thread about posts on Reddit about Reddit, from Reddit, in a response to a response to a comment about Reddit as a reply to “This is a post about Reddit” which is a comment about a post about Reddit that uses a meme-format commonly used on Reddit that has most certainly been used to comment about the state of Reddit on Reddit using a meme instead of text about Reddit by a Redditor on Reddit using Reddits servers to store the meme about the state of Reddit on Reddit so it can be seen by other Redditors on Reddit but instead of being posted on Reddit it was posted on Lemmy.

    Which is an alternative to Reddit because Reddit gatekept it’s API, which is used to interact with Reddit directly instead of scraping Reddit, beyond 100 calls to Reddit per minute per API key distributed by Reddit on Reddit instead of per user of Reddit of each API key distributed by Reddit on Reddit meaning all users of a 3rd party app for Reddit would have to share those 100 calls to Reddit per minute of using those 3rd party apps for Reddit, and the CEO of Reddit Steve Huffman spread lies on Reddit using the text post function on Reddit and replies to other Redditors that replied to his post on Reddit about Apollos creator (Apollo is a 3rd party app for Reddit) who used Reddits reply function to spread awareness on Reddit about the state of Reddit and the way Reddits CEO talked mad shit about him.

    This reads like a law.

    Written on kbin.social which is one of the kbin instances for kbin that is pretty much interoperable with Lemmy but has a different interface than Lemmy because it’s kbin and most certainly has a different kbin backend as well and it’s the website (kbin.social which is an instance of kbin) that I used to write this repost of a comment in a thread about posts on Reddit about Reddit, from Reddit, in a response to a response to a comment about Reddit as a reply to “This is a post about Reddit” which is a comment about a post about Reddit. Which is one of the ways I spent thinking about Reddit for a far too longI’m Gaytime today which kind of destroys the point of this post about Reddit which has been replied to with “This is a post about Reddit” which has gotten a comment about Reddit and a response to a comment about Reddit on Lemmy by three users, each on a different Lemmy instance, which made everyone that participated think longer about Reddit today than they otherwise would have if they hadn’t seen this post about Reddit, “This is a post about Reddit”, the comment about Reddit, and the response to a comment about Reddit and lastly this lengthy repost in response to a response to a comment about Reddit on a comment about Reddit that is a reply to a comment about this post that says “This is a post about Reddit”, and everyone that read this comment has wasted even more time than if they had only seen the post about Reddit, the comment saying “This is a post about Reddit”, the reply saying it’s a comment about Reddit and the response to that comment saying it’s a response to that comment about Reddit.

    I ain’t proof-reading allat.



  • Weirdly enough, whenever someone posts something about Reddit in !reddit , someone comments about how we should stop talking about it already.

    I can agree with that. There’s no use in talking any more about Reddit (Posts like this one are no exception, honestly). On all other magazines/subs. !reddit is about Reddit though, so I just don’t get why people don’t just block that sub already instead of complaining about it.

    Nobody complains when people on !firefox talk about Firefox or even Mozilla (Yes ‘even’ because Mozilla is not the browser itself, which !firefox is about, but the corporation behind it).

    There’s going to be news about Reddit as long as it exists, and those are gonna be on !reddit for as long as it exists. Complaining about it really does nothing since there are obviously enough people still interested in seeing how it goes. Some people just want to reminisce or rant. This is going to stay for a while, the platform was a massive time sink for most active users. Just block it.

    Meiner Erfahrung nach war die Qualität auf Lases immer scheiße, den einzigen Nutzen den ich wirklich von Lases sehen konnte waren die Unter für Privatvergnügungen, Musik und, für mich persönlich, die Unter die sich mit der amerikanischen Politik befassen.
    Und diese auch nur, da mein ESS Leser die meisten füttern nicht richtig anzeigt und die neue Republik und der Atlantik (Die einzigen füttern die für mich korrekt angezeigt werden) pfostieren halt nicht so oft.




  • Difference 2 is it’s not really powermodding. At least not from the way I personally understand powermodding. Imo powermodding is when a mod decides to get rid of content they personally just don’t like.

    In this case they got rid of a big risk to the instance itself, because, if someone decided to upload pirated content on here it would get federated to all instances that haven’t blocked the one initially distributing such content. Like another user said on this topic, this could be compared to torrenting, only without the direct P2P distribution. The risk of course falls on the people hosting the instances.

    Since they host these instances pretty much for free aside of donations, that are not a requirement, and the fact that, like nanometer said, you can just choose not to be part of the instance (and register to another instance), I wouldn’t put blame on the admins of lemmy.world in this case.




  • It’s a question that only time will probably tell. But I’m 100% sure that, as long as alternative browsers exist that allow adblockers, they’ll find a way to block ads on e.g. Youtube.

    Unless they start injecting the ads into the video directly (kind of like some apps do that display ads even when your device is offline), even then though, Sponsorblock theoretically exists.


  • I don’t see how getting rid of ad blocking would help Google. The people that know tech enough to always install Adblock first thing when installing a browser will just jump to the next browser.

    And the people that don’t know tech enough to do that wouldn’t have used Adblock either way.

    They’re losing out on a much larger userbase (People that know tech) in the hopes of keeping the subset of that userbase that knows their way around tech but doesn’t care if adblock is installed or not and making them ‘pay’ by watching ads.

    That would at least be my opinion if that’s what’s actually happening, because I personally didn’t gaf about these news until now and I only read the text from the meme. And quite honestly, I’ll continue not giving af in the future.



  • Yes, we also do days first in Germany.

    Like I replied to someone else in this thread: I wasn’t saying “it’s the only way that makes sense when speaking” I said “it only makes sense when speaking”. That doesn’t make any other way of saying dates make less sense when speaking though.

    I don’t even know how to reply to this.

    So if you made an appointment for the 2nd of September you’d tell 'em “yeah let’s meet on the 2nd” or “yeah let’s meet on the 245th” you’re gonna need the month somewhere.

    Of course if it’s the same month it wouldn’t make a difference if you said “let’s meet on the 10th” or “let’s meet on the 10th of August” but if you’re making appointments for different months which in everyday life or in a work environment is not unusual you can’t just say “yeah the 2nd” and expect them to know which month. “Yeah you can expect delivery by the 4th”.

    Tl;Dr:
    I didn’t even say “it’s the only way to say it when speaking” I said “only makes sense when you’re speaking.” because in written form MM DD YY is just shit for everyone except Americans, to the point where context sometimes is the only saving grace. Vice versa applies.

    Yes, MM DD YY only makes sense when you’re speaking.

    In written language it should always follow the order of smallest to largest, meaning day, month, and then year. Imo.

    Though I personally try to use YYYY-MM-DD as much as possible in day to day life, if not applicable I use DD MM YYYY. YYYY-MM-DD of course doesn’t follow the order of smallest to largest, instead following the opposite order, though at least it has an order.
