Oh, looks like I’m switching instances.

What you’ll likely see is the button links to a centralized service that sends you to the Lemmy instance you are logged into
So the button would never link directly to any Lemmy instance but some central server that sends you to your own instance.
Who would run that server? Probably the same guys who develop these button integrations.
Email is the one thing I don’t bother self hosting.
You need to use an existing host with reputation or most of your emails will end up in junk or be outright blocked.
I remember when the female dating strategy sub did this rather successfully.
They were about to get banned anyway for the incel-like behaviour and took it upon themselves to switch platforms.
Just be thankful it’s an 8 minute video and not a 2 minute tic tok full of weird facial expressions.
What’s to stop someone from just not checking the ‘bot account’ option for their bot though?
I showed my friend all of the privacy problems with threads and his response was ‘I don’t care, they already have everything anyway’.
I told another friend and their response was ‘I don’t care if they have my data, it’s not much use to them and it doesn’t have any effect on me’
The world is hopeless.
I think it’s just because this guy left a comment, the algorithm picked up the post again.
Kinda like ‘bumping’ a thread in the forum days.
This post is 2 years old lol
If they didn’t get paid by Reddit they likely sold it on the dark web.
Because they aren’t really volunteers. They love the power they wield and would do anything to keep it.
The real volunteers already quit.
Yes that’s true. That’s why I can confidently say any browser because they are all the same.
Damn, 20k subs already!?!
I could have sworn it was 7k like 3 days ago.
Reddit doesn’t respect that on iPhones through any browser.
So anti consumer it hurts.
This is the true final blow to third party apps.
I noticed they did something similar to the mobile website. Even with appropriate content blockers there’s absolutely no way you can see sexually explicit content on mobile without their app.
OP hates Linux
Sorry OP, people who like Linux tend to have the same values this platform advertises.
It really boils down to availability. A VPS will usually be more reliable than a home network.
For 99% of personal use though a home network behind a dynamic DNS service will be more than good enough.
I feel like the EEE attack is inevitable at this point.
Why else would they even be willing to federate?
They saw the threat that decentralized non-profit social media is and want to kill it before it has a chance.
All Lemmy servers and especially the largest ones need to defederate from it immediately.
In a nutshell: corporate greed. The only part of the game that was live service was the paid cosmetics.
At launch, their entire idea of more ‘content’ was just visual cosmetics. If you look at their communications at the time it will all make sense.
They constantly referred to an internal ‘live service’ team separate from the rest of the game, and that team was effectively the ‘cosmetics team’.
People talk about contractors, but this was the real problem. They thought they could get away with barely adding any real content and selling tons of cosmetics.
Given their post on mastodon saying they won’t defederate, I would bet money they took that meeting and signed an NDA.
Maybe they even are getting some funding out of it.
This is all speculation of course, but if they don’t deny it then I think it’s pretty likely.
