What exactly is the “truth” in that zero effort meme?

Not even gonna read there anymore. Any sort of traffic they get, anonymously or not, helps the company.

Lemmy was originally developed by people on the opposite spectrum, tankies. That people now assume it’s a rightwing place is hilarious.

Ich kann nichtmal “all” und “top” als Standard speichern. Die Seite vergisst die Einstellungen. Hoffe die Bugs sind bald behoben.

I originally intended to uninstall RIF and only use (old) Reddit (with RES) on my browser at the end of June, but these additional changes make it look like they’re desperate for money, and old.reddit won’t stay alive for much longer, anyway.

So I bit the bullet, got settled on Lemmy and Mastodon and really like it.

The very idea behind the fediverse is the “old school internet” I experienced back in the late 90’s, when people were still idealistic and thought the net would bring us freedom. What happened instead was the commercialisation of everything, algorithms to optimise engagement and attention, data collection and sales, the global spread of outrage peddling and fake news, and ultimately, the total sellout of twitter and Reddit. Late stage capitalism.

I’m here to stay.
