Someone posted this over on Reddit right when it happened and I apparently saved it. I’m cleaning out my bookmarks and came across it. I hought you’d like to see why it’s good news that we found Lemmy.
Edit: I took a screenshot in case it gets deleted.
They’re purchasing the power to get into the conversation and don’t you feel used? Why are you here if you didn’t mind what Reddit did?
I’m here because they killed third party apps and api’s. But the thing is Reddit philosophically has been a for profit company. They make money on ads. In terms of the possible ways to advertise, this isn’t crazy invasive.
Lemmy and the fediverse are not inherently a for profit. So yes, the advertising doesn’t really apply as much.
I just expect the for profit services I use to behave like for profits. And the not for profit services I use to behave like not for profits.
I guess you don’t mind talking to bots and advertising scripts then, I find that strange but you do you.
