Como buen troll me encanta ver troleadas épicas.
Con el follón que hay en #Reddit hay miles de subs que están en modo privado a oscuras (nadie puede publicar).
Los de Reddit les han amenazado: o vuelve a abrirlos o les quitan el permiso de moderador y recuperan una copia de seguridad del contenido.
Todos los amenazados han abierto los subs... Pero solo puede escribir el presentador John Oliver.
Me parece una genialidad para no incumplir las reglas.

Looks like #reddit is killing links to #lemmy:

#Twitter se cae a pedazos. #Reddit se está desmoronando. #Facebook se vino abajo hace siglos. #Meta es una basura. #Instagram es una tontería. #Google ya ni siquiera puede buscar lo que quieras.

¿Sabes qué sitio web sigue funcionando milagrosamente?

Deberías donar para que siga así.

Several hundred of subreddits now plan to stay private indefinitely, in part after #Reddit’s CEO memo

That was quick 😅

https://www.theverge.com/2023/6/13/23759674/reddit-mods-blackout-protest-extended-indefinitely

The CEO of #Reddit just sent a memo saying the blackout "will pass"

I wouldn’t be surprised if as a result of this another catastrophically incompetent PR exercise, many subreddits decide to stay private indefinitely

(As a French, I know that you should NEVER put gasoline on the fire while the demonstration is happening. Doing so is perceived as a provocation, and it escalates everything even further.)

By putting gasoline on fire during the first day of the #Reddit blackout, the CEO of Reddit shot himself in the foot

It's not a surprise that what was supposed to be a two days blackout is now becoming a three days blackout

More than 6000 subreddits are still dark, with no indication they will reopen soon

There is something truly stunning to watch incompetent CEOs destroying the foundations on top of which their companies are built

https://edition.cnn.com/2023/06/14/tech/reddit-blackout/index.html

This, coupled with this piece by @caseynewton and @zoeschiffer, makes me think that the current #Reddit management is probably just incompetent

When your user base has so much bargaining power, you don’t confront them as directly and as grossly as that. You really don’t.

The CEO of #Reddit gave an interview to The Verge, and it’s once again a PR disaster

Reddit was adamant to say that the new API pricing wasn’t designed to kill third party apps. And now, the CEO is basically saying "yeah, we’re killing third party apps".

It’s a blatant admission that Reddit lied to, and gaslit its community for weeks, if not months by pretending it wasn’t the goal of the pricing change

In another interview, this time on NBC, #Reddit CEO said he was inspired by… #Musk, and the way he runs #Twitter

Yeah, you read correctly

Dude watched the dumpster fire Twitter has become, and legitimately thought it was a good idea to make the exact same thing

The absolute mediocrity of these CEO men is beyond hilarious

My #FollowFriday recommendation goes to the New Communities meta-community at Lemmy World, where you can find pretty much every group that is moving away from #Reddit in almost real time: https://lemmy.world/c/newcommunities

Something that should be apparent from the #TwitterMigration is that the real growth doesn’t start until there’s good native apps from Android and iOS.

Jerboa for Android and mlem for iOS are good starts but they’re both in alpha, and they mainly support #Lemmy.

I’m not aware of a #Kbin mobile app – especially since Kbin is so new.

But I have no doubt someone is building an app, especially since #Reddit is discontinuing free API access for 3rd party developers by the end of the month.

Some of those app developers will probably want to develop for the #Fediverse soon – if they’re not already.

Well this is fun: The #Federation has joined the #Fediverse! r/StarTrek shuttered and went to a Lemmy instance -- https://startrek.website/ #Reddit #RedditMigration

:lemmy: Ahora que está sucediendo la migración de #reddit al fediverso, recuerda que hay varios servidores de #Lemmy en nuestra lengua:

kbin.social is now federated properly! In a nice touch, a user made the announcement via lemmy.world and it seems to have instantly propagated. https://kbin.social/m/youshouldknow@lemmy.world/t/19477/YSK-that-kbin-social-is-now-federating-adding-hundreds-of-communities

If you're looking for #Reddit alternatives and are wondering what the relevant differences between #Lemmy and #Kbin are, I've found this writeup very helpful:

There's a Fediverse alternative to #Reddit called #Kbin. More info at https://kbin.pub

Still VERY new, not many servers yet, two so far in English:

https://fedia.io
https://kbin.social

No app yet, use it through these sites. Subreddits are called "Magazines". You can interact with magazines from other servers.

Coders help Kbin at https://codeberg.org/Kbin/kbin-core, non-coders donate at https://www.buymeacoffee.com/kbin

(Sorry to people bored of this, had many requests to put info in one place)

Honestly, despite the ruckus happening at #Twitter #Reddit and other #SocialMedia, 2023 is the happiest I've been online.
That's because I discovered the idea of the #IndieWeb and also the #fediverse. I just feel more in control now and less manipulated by algorithms.
As a content creator, I feel less helpless & able to reach readers. :)

The ability to control your information flow is priceless!

This is remarkable. Looks like #KBin instances already have more active monthly users than #Lemmy instances.

It's notable because Lemmy had been around for a while, while KBin is a relative newcomer to "federated threaded news discussion" space on fedi.

It's also great, since Lemmy has certain problematic tankie legacy (although there are plenty of instances that are absolutely not supportive of that stuff).

#Fediverse #Reddit

If you're considering leaving #Reddit, don't leave the content that you have created behind for Reddit to monetize on.

When you delete your account, all your posts and comments actually stay on the site with the username changed to "Deleted User".

Delete your posts and comments using the Reddit Power Delete Suite.

Tech Press don’t understand the #Fediverse, so how can they understand its growth?

To hear them talk, most of them believe that #Mastodon and the Fediverse are one and the the same. Some of them go so far as to call the Fediverse the “Mastodon network”.

Which means that they don’t have a clue about what the Fediverse entails, nor how it has grown.

Case in point: between Jan-May 2023, #Misskey and its forks grew by 300,000 accounts. No one in the Tech Press reported this.

Okay, perhaps they didn’t know because the bulk of growth happened in Japan. But still, this is fairly important to know since Misskey is now responsible for generating the bulk of Fediverse content. Even so, Tech Press think the Fediverse is about Mastodon.

And now, #Lemmy and #Kbin are experiencing lots of growth, with both collectively gaining 100,000 users in a week. This is quite a noteworthy event since the #RedditMigration is part and parcel of dissension on #Reddit – a pretty major Big Social platform.

Does the Tech Media report on this? Nope. But again, that’s because they don’t understand the Fediverse nor what it entails.

Then Meta signal that a new project they’re making, #P92 (a.k.a., #Barcelona), will be joining the Fediverse. There’s even screenshots that show this app interacting with remote Fediverse servers.

But instead of reporting about how this will affect the existing Fediverse, press such as the #BBC say this is an altogether different social network than Mastodon.

That’s right! Tech Press don’t even realize P92 will be joining the Fediverse – a social network that already exists!

Is this all ridiculous? Yes.

But this is why we have to be forthright about what the Fediverse is, what it entails, and why it all matters.

We, on the Fediverse, must be our own Press.
