In my case is a cost one for sure, I just cant afford to pay for every single streaming platform, I pay for spotify no problem, all my music is in there.

I’m so glad I can just pirate everything I want

Funny thing is, this is exactly what reddit wants. When it’s time to show the traffic after API shutdown they’ll show the traffic of all the users that are protesting, and guess what, it’ll be higher than before the API shutdown

Tracking, ads, money.

You’re right.

I don’t think we will be able to believe anything we see online. These are fake videos taken from movies, once AI is able to create realistic videos this problem will get much worse.

I for sure will be deleting my account soon. Twitter became filled with spam recently, nothing interesting left to do there.

It’s sad, but it seems to me you adapted to the fediverse, I see you on my frontpage every time I check it, great content, good job!

This is why I stopped development of BotIt, if people don’t want it then I won’t continue making it

I wonder if other official subreddits will stop being official

These people invested so much time and effort into their communities, I understand why they are doing all this to keep them

I stopped the bot, people don’t seem to like automated content, so I stopped development as well. Sorry

That’s a great way to filter people in some way. I wonder for how long this will last. I’m not saying it can’t be permanent but I’m sure at some point it will attract awful people

It’s interesting to see people talking about bots flooding some communities with content and others saying there’s not enough.
I created a bot, not to bring posts and comments from reddit but to use reddit as content curator, to bring links that were engaging there on to here.
However some people think theres a difference between users making a post with just a link to a news article or a bot doing it.
I think there’s a use for bots, when the content they bring is external to both reddit and lemmy, and discussion around it is organic.

I would like to know why, why is it that chill people came here and why most of the awful people stayed there

Ah, the meta memes, we have evolved

Also this type of integration could be implemented, the projects are young enough to make big changes on how they work.

When spez says “We don’t want to show NSFW to users” they mean they don’t care how many users voted, they are saying “We don’t want to give a bad impression to users that will use Reddit no matter what”.
They just don’t care about anything else that isn’t money, if they could replace Reddit users with tiktok users they would be thrilled, even if they lose 12+ year old accounts with thousands of comments.
With this I’m not saying the protest is useless, it has the power to basically kill Reddit if enough users participate in it.

I think kbin has a good aproach to this, a completely different tab that allows you to make posts in the mastodon format. This could also be the case on lemmy some point, however I would understand if lemmy users don’t want this at all.
