I had a job a few years ago where my account kept getting locked out (their IT security department was kinda paranoid and basically everything could get you locked out). I used this to crest a shortcut on my phone to call their automated help desk line and enter in my employee id / dob/ whatever else they needed to unlock my account, at one point it was happening several times a day. Left that job shortly after thankfully
It’s been going on for nearly a year now, but the layoffs tend to happen in waves because the stock market and investors in general tend to be very reactionary. Also a lot of companies released their quarterly earnings recently
I certainly don’t think Reddit is going to die out from this; its far too big. But I do think that Spez has managed to irrevocably change the culture of the site forever (particularly by forcing out the long time users). I personally have no intention of going back despite having been active on the site almost daily since 2010

You can follow the issue directly on Github for updates; seems its being actively worked now right now
I feel like a lot of people coming over here from reddit (granted I’m one of them) don’t really understand what federation is. The admin (the peeps actually hosting and running the instance) can do whatever they want. And unlike reddit, if you disagree with them you can just move to another instance. As I understand it (and they posted a large thread explaining all this) Beehaw wants to keep their community small and regulated, and with the massive growth of other instances like ours coming in they felt overwhelmed. It’s totally understandable and we shouldn’t be dicks about it
I believe they also said they spent a year on final gameplay tweaks alone before releasing; TotK is a great example of why we shouldn’t be mad when a game is delayed again in again
Lemmy.ml is hosted by the developers of Lemmy; their political views are kinda irrelevant here, I don’t think there’s a single political party that wants MORE of Metas influence in anything
