I have my phone number on my personal website—never had any adverse consequences. In fact, the only two calls I’ve gotten have both been at my work number which isn’t on there somehow. One to ask a genuine question and one to give me 30 bucks in appreciation.

Note that that hasn’t existed in PHP for years.

Doesn’t npm have this already? I’ve definitely gotten requests for donations and various political messages when installing dependencies.

import React from 'react';
import ReactDOM from 'react-dom';

ReactDOM.render(
	<div>
		<h1>My Site</h1>
		<p>Welcome to my cool site. 😎</p>
	</div>,
	document.getElementById('root')
);

Me too. I’ll take my salary now, please.

Edit: Lemmy stripped out my rickroll. :(

This sounds like they’re copying Brave Discussions, which is basically just giving a little box with only reddit results near the top.

It’s definitely not an alternative to reddit or even its own platform. It sounds like just another conditional algorithm update, but I haven’t seen it yet.

Ecosia image search is literally just searching Bing through a middle-man.

As much as I dislike it, mainly Google still. Sometimes Bing for the AI help. Brave Search is also really good and the only new search engine I can see surpassing Google some day.

I think a Facebook competitor’s critical mass problem is much harder than then a competitor to Reddit or Twitter’s. The appeal to Facebook is that you have all the people you know on there, and you can share updates with the mall and see updates from them all. As the portion of your friends and loved ones drops, it’s utility drops proportionally. If everyone uses Facebook, it’s a great tool; but if only 10% of your friends do, it’s kind of worthless. You don’t really want to have to post photos to two or three different sites to really share them. Having one place to connect with everyone in your life is kind of the point of Facebook.

On the other hand, Reddit and Twitter are just random things shared from random people. If you randomly deleted half of Reddit users or Twitter users, I literally wouldn’t even notice. There about the containt comma you really don’t care about or even really know the actual people.
