It's so nice of Stevie boy to refer to his userbase as "noise". Proof of how little he values the people who use his corner of the internet. Hopefully this wording of his will show how little he thinks of everyone.

Oh caiman
Tracking. Ads. Selling data etc.
Both great Distros. I personally prefer Fedora, though.
I'm upvoting everything at the moment. I want my fellow users to feel like they matter and are well received, hopefully something that will spur them on to contribute more.
It's likely - and is already being spoken about over at Reddit - that admins will just push out existing mods of the larger subs. I'm sure they'll find replacement mods. Or maybe just use bots.
I appreciate that, Pumpkin!
Super star! Thank you :)
I was reading an article from The Verge - they've linked all the juicy parts of the AMA. I don't have a Reddit account anymore since hearing about what their plans were a few weeks ago. It looks like Reddit is facing a very real, self inflicted meltdown.
Fyi - it looks like the reviews for Reddit on the Google Play Store have been locked as well to prevent review bombing.
I'm an ex Reddit user. It seems inevitable that the Reddit admins will lock out third party access - I could be wrong but based on recent years, Reddit doesn't like to listen to it's community.
I hope that the toxicity stays away, but it's likely there will be toxic users at some point. My main gripe with Reddit was the lack of actual reading. Most mainstream subs were just memes / circlejerks / pics. I'd much prefer to learn something or read something of value over "lol-ing" at a pic.
I'm keen to see how Lemmy grows.
I really do appreciate everything you're doing for us all. Thank you.
