I called someone an idiot, who was rightfully an idiot (on the /r/idiotsincars). And got reported and permanently suspended.
Oh well. 1 alt out of like 22 right now used up. Maybe I'll just end up trolling and blasting the rest of my alts out, cause this no-justification banning crap is way out of hand.
Linux testen leicht gemacht: DistroSea bringt 39 Distributionen in den Browser
DistroSea heißt ein Dienst, der das Antesten von Linux-Distributionen deutlich erleichtern soll. Das Projekt ist klein, funktioniert aber schon recht gut.
Does anyone know of a #Reddit sub that's good for just, like, talking about whatever random fiction book you're reading?
The kinda place where you can post "bruhhhh I just read Laundry Files #4 and HOLY SHIT-" kinda, stuff. Quasi book recommendations / mini-reviews / discussions, without the weird formalism/obsessiveness that is r/books?
Yes I know there's spots for that here too, but there's the kinda talk you do in a micro-blog, and there's the kind you do in a forum, and this sort really wants for a forum.
I'm legit sad about the news out of #Reddit surrounding their API pricing. @christianselig has built the only interface for Reddit that a lot of users will ever willingly use. I hope a fedi alternative (I’ve seen posts about #lemmy, need to check it out) can scale up fast enough, the way Mastodon did, to fill that void for folks.
Latest #Reddit news (basically charging a ridiculous price that makes 3rd party apps non-viable) serves as yet another reminder of why Mastodon and the #Fediverse are beautiful!
Even if someone wants to ruin things, you can always change instances/apps/defederate and keep using this tool, it’s not in the hands of anyone.
It's really sad since #ApolloApp is so amazing - maybe my favorite app for its UX.
I understand it from Reddit's profit perspective. Facebook's average revenue per user is ~$23/mo in the US/Canada. Snap is making ~$2.75/mo in North Am, Central Am, and the Caribbean. Pinterest is making $2/mo in US/Can.
Christian Selig (author of Apollo) notes Reddit is looking for ~$2.50/mo/user for API calls. It seems like Reddit wants the ARPU it thinks it should be getting (despite Reddit's ARPU being rumored to be the lowest of the social apps). With Apollo being an iOS-only app, its user base is often what advertisers often pay more for.
I agree with people that there's a strong possibility this could backfire and it's sad to see another platform go this way. I guess that's what makes #fediverse feel special - no one person or company can pull the rug out from under us.
I'm definitely a cat person, but this genuinely made me LOL. Make sure you click on the picture to see all 9 -- the last ones are the best. #funny#reddit#dogs
Goodbye Reddit I guess? I have been a Reddit user for close to 17 years. 16y7mo to be exact. Today I logged in and I got the red banner that says my account is permanently suspended.
I never posted anything other than a few car pics, some game screenshots and a few comments in my Reddit life.
Never got into any discussions, never posted anything remotely against the Reddit content policy.
Never got a private message that is explaining why I got suspended (unlike it says in their article)
After my appeal, I got a basic automated message that I cannot reply, explaining that my appeal has been reviewed and it is permanent. ¯_(ツ)_/¯
I have no clue why I’m banned, and no clue if my appeal ever got reviewed by a human.
The state of social media is going in deep :burning_poop: My prediction is that major social media conglomerates will screw or hurt their users one way or another and people will start living in their "cyber neighborhoods" instead of their massive "cyber megapoles".
This happened to Facebook, Twitter in massive scales. Maybe this is Reddit's turn now?
Never really cared much for #Reddit but I always thought they were the good guys... It's kind of harsh to see what they're doing with the whole #API#pricing thing. 😳
Third party apps were what got me into Twitter and third party apps are what make me enjoy Mastodon.
