agreed. as others have stated. Transparency. But also, new software, new tech (in a way, the fediverse/activity pub), and hopefully a new beginning. Happy to be here. If not technically on the ground level (lemmy has been around for a short time before we knew reddit was going to implode), close to it!
Sorry, I’m new here. Isn’t Radio Sputnik Russian state media? Which could be considered propaganda, which would break rule 3?
Also, is this some of the “tankie” content that lemmy opponents have been citing? I know this is lemmy.ml and that this may be the type of content they want here, so I hope I’m not offending anyone.
“The ongoing strike, spurred by Huffman’s plan to charge fees to third-party apps that serve up Reddit content,”
Then it goes on to talk about commercial AIs scraping reddit data through their api for deep learning for free.
But the reality is people weren’t upset about the api charge, they were upset at the exorbitant price they released. There are so many other ways to be fair and to stop commercial use if that was really an issue. Plus, I wouldn’t be surprised if reddit is being scraped without the api from the front facing website anyway.
Then, reddit double downed and spez just made a complete ass of himself. I could have done a better job as CEO, that guy is unqualified and delusional. If he stays at the helm reddit will surely sink
Amazon has been going downhill. I routinely receive items that were previously worn/returned, wrong size, knockoffs that should have been genuine ect.
More to the point, has any one read what AI writes? In my experience it’s either a lot of meaningless filler or series of internet scraped facts strung together without really any flow.
Confession: in true you know what fashion, I didn’t read the article
Idk, maybe it should be usage based. I feel like 60/yr is too much. I’d be fine with 19.99/yr but idk what they’re costs are. Otherwise, I do like the idea. Confession, I haven’t used it yet but I plan to signup and try the first 100 searches free.
5/mo is too much I think.
ok, so it’s not just me. Hope it gets resolved soon!
r/datahoarder is working on archiving everything: https://www.reddit.com/r/DataHoarder/comments/1479c7b/historic_reddit_archives_ongoing_archival_effort/
so that should be covered at least.
yup, they will follow the population. If lemmy reaches critical mass it’ll only be a matter of time.
I wish something in the license of activity pub could have prevented corporate espionage. Make no mistake, meta will absolutely dominate and kill off the fediverse
