A few podcasts I listen to have switched to calling their bluesky handles out instead of their twitter handles in their outros. I’ll probably install it and delete ex/twitter when I get an invite.

He also shrieked about bots, and now he parades his own around.

You just need to be a moderator of any subreddit. The subreddit itself doesn’t need to be NSFW. The idea is that moderators could have a need to evaluate NSFW content on user profiles to make moderation decisions.

Just be aware that in the fediverse everyone sees what you up and down vote.

There’s an update that makes you login again. It installed for me yesterday. After the update get an annoying locked post from u/redditmaturecontent telling you to go to Reddit access NSFW content now.

Oh, that’s interesting. I was hoping a scraper would emerge. Stealth’s scraper (currently) doesn’t seem to actually display content that is marked nsfw. Maybe they haven’t yet figured out how to detect/accept the confirm 18+ barrier on old.reddit.com.

Well, he is going to try to make a subscription Infinity.

But I’ve already moved on to RedReader because the dev is fully on my wavelength. He got the accessibility exception and continues to openly trash Reddit in a very gentlemanly, polite way. His goal now is to diversify the app to non-Reddit sites before Reddit doesn’t need him as a PR shield. Hopefully he’s able to add Lemmy and kbin support soon.

The RedReader app’s use of menus is… slightly different than apps I have used in the past but it has sort of grown on me. It has a, “yeah I can see why Stephan Hawking would have used this sort of thing” vibe, but at the same time it’s actually not tedious or difficult to use once you get the hang of it.

Are there? Must be a bigsub/shill thing.

Infinity (Android) is making a go at a paid subscription.

Are you certain it is the exact same comment or post? I think people are deleting everything (via scripts or whatever–some scripts are known to not work/only appear to be working–particularly ones that make use of pushshift which reddit destroyed a few months prior to this incident), but everything isn’t actually everything because of the way reddit hides content in certain situations. When people have posted screenshots it has been content from subreddits that had be set private during protests and reopened. Reddit annoyingly hides your own content from yourself in many circumstances.

I’m not saying these undeletes definitely do not happen, but people have needed to delete content on Reddit for reasons the pre-date the protests. The legal risks to reddit for them to be caught restoring content that a user deliberately deleted is significant. So unless a whistleblower or compelling evidence emerges Occam’s razor will go with reddit bugs and “features”. Everyone knows reddit is bug-ridden.

The less obvious answer is Roko’s Basilisk.

Basically it’s what they have decided to disclose to law enforcement. So at best it tells you the baseline capabilities of law enforcement.

I thought that at first too based on the icons, but if you read the text it reveals Telegram has the ability to provide IP address (if they can be convinced to).

The 30min delay surprised me at first, but it’s nice as a way of disengaging from reddit and deprioritizing it. I wouldn’t mind setting it to once daily. 😂

FWIW I migrated from Infinity to RedReader and I’ve been pretty satisfied with it. It takes a little bit to get used to the different navigation but Infinity’s navigation was already annoying (I had moved to Infinity about 6 months ago from Slide, which I think had the best navigation of all of them but Slide has been abandoned for quite some time).

Nope and I don’t see the point of deleting or defacing comments and posts, really. I’m not really interested in destroying reddit, I’m just… not using it anymore (or not as much).

Things like relationship and parenting advice communities and other sorts of support subreddits don’t seem to be moving anywhere yet and I do enjoy them so dunno. Currently RedReader seems fine for those and won’t be affected by the API change because it was granted an exception. The RedReader dev seems to be on my wavelength. So far the Fediverse seems perfectly fine for technical topics. With the exception that on Reddit, you will often find support people for small devices that work for companies inside of their communities. I’m keeping my eye out for the other content.

Another issue is that for better or worse it is somewhat easier to trust reddit. Reddit admins limit what moderators can know or see about users. I don’t fully understand the privacy implications of the federverse and the fact that you don’t know who the admins are and what they might be doing. So in some ways I trust Reddit a bit more at this point.

I know the damage that a power tripping reddit mod can do and how to protect myself from moderators harassment there. But I suspect that Fediverse is essentially “moderators who also know your IP address”. So some topics do seem safer to discuss on Reddit than here.
