Shitty toilet paper buddy!

Works fine with iPhones built-in reader. This is pretty cool.

I think the plan is to build a new affordable housing on the same spot. The former building was slowly sinking into the ground and needed a lot of work from what I hear.

This is so fucked up.

Yeah - it looks like it was the pfBlockerNg on the firewall. The lemmy.world IP is on a couple of blacklist it seems.

I think I figure out my issue. I’m running pfBlockerNG on my firewall and it looks like the lemmy.world server IP ended up in the CINS_army_v4 list and was getting blocked in my network.

Tried that already. The page partially load as shown in the screenshot, most of the time the connection gets outright refused.

Done. Sorry got distracted with my dog trying to eat my Joycon.

Going through an app also prevents the awful redirects.

Reddit is picking a fight with the internet…

Isn't the main obstacle for people migrating to Lemmy is the "signup"? Would it be impactful if someone creates a dummy proof guide, including a list of equivalent communites <-> subreddit?

Hopefully you don't have any rogue mods. Apprently r/adviceanimals got the head mod replced by someone that seems to be more inline with the admins-reddit. (u/legweed -> u/CedarWolf)

Hah! Some one will need to read this in Morgan Freeman voice for extra entertainment!

I'm curious about the what is happening... but I feel bad every time I click into reddit.

Apparently, a heck of a lost of drama involving this.

I think it just depends on how it is served. If it is something non-organic, like shoved in between every other post it would have a negative effect.

Superbowl ads work because people are willing to watch it. It's part of the game and made to entertain. But when's the last time you actually bought something advertised on the Superbowl ads?

I don't think there are a lot of people that enjoys an ad on a YouTube video one minute and fifteen seconds into the video you are trying to watch.

Instead of working with the 3PA devs to come up with something that is a win-win for both parties, they’ve chosen self-destruct.

Most of the 3PA devs has already said, they are not against paying for API usage, as long as it’s a reasonable price. The pricing Reddit wants is definitely to kill 3PA.

Asian male here as well. Couldn’t do it 10 years ago as I end up like bat wings around my ears. Now my hair is not as thick and it’s working out a lot better.

It almost sounds like an excuse for Reddit to “revert” the site back and restore the site to pre-blackout state…

Maybe related to Reddit backend going down - https://postimg.cc/G8rgLhkf

The OpenCollective link seems to be reaching an error page a, FYI.

Is anyone else also been gettin loading errors on Apollo since yesterday? I’ve stayed off since then but seems like they are already messing with API access already.

There seems to be a misconception by a lot of corporates that shoving ads down users throats will make the users want what is advertised.

Personally, I go out of my way to avoid anything that are shown to me intrusively.

I'm hoping that a lot of the subreddits that has gone dark would remain dark indefinitely. Granted, the Reddit admins might try to replace the mods on a lot of the subreddits - but at that point the community may not be the same anymore.

Unlike some of the 3P [third-party] apps, we are not profitable - Steve Huffman, Reddit CEO

Translation - we don't have control of the 3PA and they are getting in the way of moooore profit, so we want them gone.

That's the only logical conclusion. Wouldn't really make sense otherwise.

I did earlier.

Too bad there isn't a way to also see traffic stats of reddit. Curious to see the affect.

But....but...I like lurking.
