I didn't see those. My bad!
Privacy is non-existent on reddit anyway, just because lemmy is imperfect there doesn't mean it's any worse than reddit, and this is a public forum, there's no privacy anyway.
Completely agree. Just look at reddit's TOS. They own your data. Unfortunately, it still doesn't stop people from raising ut as if reddit is a bastion of privacy and security.
I've also seen concerns about privacy and politics. It'd be great if you addressed that, too. I'd love to send you an upvote but I deleted all my accounts. 😅
I just don't understand why they (or just spez?) are/is intent on badmouthing the Apollo dev.
Tildes is the only other alternative that I know besides lemmy. It's more focused on discussion, as you probably know. Personally, though, I doubt it can scratch my reddit itch. I do enjoy discussions, but I also need my "nonsense stuff" fix like memes. I do like what they're trying to do. I think they're a good complementary site to lemmy if someone is ditching reddit altogether.
An app would be very helpful to get more people on kbin.
I completely agree. Reddit has shown no indication of backing down. They will just wait for it to finish if the lockdown is as short as ~48 hours. If a major/big sub goes on lockdown indefinitely, they'll open it and replace the mods. I'm pretty sure there are tons of people out there willing to mod a big subreddit like r/videos for one reason or another. The reddit of the digg migration era is gone. It's just corporate reddit now.
For me, the way Fediverse is set up just highlighted the dangers of centralization, at least for social media. It's hard to have all your eggs in a basket controlled by a single entity that has virtually unlimited power to do what it wants with it. Fediverse isn't perfect, but in some aspects it's just better.
That's true. I should stop getting triggered by those. But still, more ammo would be nice. At the very least other people would see the evidence and won't listen to them.
Awesome! Gonna install it again.
Last time I used ani-cli on Linux it wouldn't load any videos. It was working well before. Does it work for you now?
Let's put it this way:
Spez, reddit's ceo, used to mod r/jailbait. Did it matter to the users? It didn't. Why should this be any different?
Also, this is a public platform as much as reddit is. Reddit's TOS is horrible and yet people stayed. Lemmy is not worse than reddit in terms of privacy. I had to use a script/program before deleting my reddit accounts because reddit won't delete what's in there.
