Vivaldi and Brave can modify Chromium to disable this feature. Chromium is open source after all.

I was using mobile website on ios but then tried the Memmy app. The app experience is much better.

What’s a voice mail?

While playing video games for hours with no break.

/u/spez wants to restore Reddit to its former glory but knows that shareholders would never allow it. He decides to single handily rescue Reddit through and inside job that burns Reddit to the ground so Reddit can be reborn as Lemmy, the purest form of Reddit that surpasses even the original. Lemmy’s wild success steers the entire Internet onto the path decentralization, as it was originally intended to be.

Thank you /u/spez, you are a true hero.

I will never use it but if Threads steals users from Twitter, that will reduce Twitter’s dominance and make it easier for other users to switch to the Fediverse.

Just make sure to defederate Threads from the start.

I expect this to evolve like email did. It used to be very easy to host your own mail server but due to spam the large providers started using whitelists and nowadays it’s almost impossible to have a self hosted mail server that is approved by the others.

Similarly, I expect that hosting your own Lemmy instance will be impossible in the future. We should enjoy it while we can.

I wish Reddit apps were promoting Lemmy in their shut down message to users.

When Chrome was first launched, so many people thought Incognito would be useless. Little did they know.

I’m glad to see this but app stores have anti review bomb measures so this might not make a difference

Makes no difference to me.

I stopped using Reddit and I’m glad that I don’t have to worry about this kind of user hostile changes.

Maybe a jailbait mod who also secretly edits user comments with his admin privileges is not suitable to be CEO.

Moderating is time consuming, tedious and done by volunteers. I’m not surprised that they get overrun after the latest influx of users.

He’s following in the footsteps of his idol, Elon Musk

If the discussions have been going on for that long, why this exact moment in time, and why such a short deadline?

Why any moment in time? We did it when we did it. We could do it a year from now and we’d probably have the same conversation. We could do it five years ago, we’d be having the same conversation.

I guess what I still don’t quite understand is, if this has been thought about for a long time, is the goal just to meet this deadline and move on? Like just turn a new leaf from there?

We don’t have to meet our deadline. We told folks hey, we need to come up with a plan, or we’re going to start billing you on July 1st.

Complete mess of a CEO. I’m so glad that I’m not using Reddit anymore.

Most reddit topics were about Digg in the days following the Digg exodus. Over time, discussion shifts naturally.

Lemmy needs to make Hot the default. It’s a better experience for new users.

In an ideal world these APIs would be free. But corporations exist to maximize profit and their value is the user network and the content that users generate. Of course they will try to milk it as much as possible.

Need to actually deliver on this, not just suggest it.

I’m actually curious the reason why Lemmy does not have a karma equivalent.

I don’t miss it since I rarely checked my reddit karma but it does have pros and cons.
