Also, the title of the post is “the lemmy experience is better when centralized” so maybe if you’re gonna call out reading comprehension, try a little of it yourself. Smh indeed.

Downvoting… on an instance that disables downvotes? Neat trick.
Hard disagree. Centralization is what enables rich dickheads to seize control of what ought to be the commons. Dispersing the community into many small nodes that communicate with each other is the safeguard against that happening. Ideally it shouldn’t matter which node you call home.
I guess the real question here is: is this a bad thing, or just a different thing?
They both deserve failure and ridicule, and I hope they get it in spades.
Negative one day. They’ve already started.
Nah. There’s an old maxim that states if you make something idiot-proof, they’ll just come out with a dumber idiot. The hell with them. Let’s build something smart. If they want in, they can smarten up.
Stevie Wonder coulda seen that coming.
Elon’s going to start suing u/spez for royalties
Interesting to see that tumblr is adding support for ActivityPub. I wonder if any other legacy platforms will undertake to federate.
Don’t forget to include the “construction worker with a shovel” gif and disclaimer that this page is under construction.
The sun rises, then sets.
Reddit’s sunset appears nigh.
Thanks for the laughs.
This. There will always be people attracted to power, even power as ultimately meaningless as being a reddit mod. Spez will enlist a new squad of wanna-be petty tyrants.
He expects so because he’s going to have his admin staff de-mod all the rebels, open the subs back up, and ruthlessly ban anyone who says a word about the controversy. The user population that remains will eventually go back to sleep, and all will be well in Reddit-land.
Saw that coming.
What a drama queen. No one has suggested anything more violent than harsh language.
He makes some really good points. Why should reddit corporate give a shit about a timeboxed tantrum? If people aren’t going to commit, then there’s no point.
Maybe this will be the beginning of a new age. Let Reddit and Twitter and Facebook join MySpace, Digg, LiveJournal, AOL, Prodigy, and other relics of the past in the Internet’s graveyard.
I am absolutely fine with that crowd staying far, far away from us. If they like where Reddit is going, fine, by all means let them stay there.
Do people not realize they can just log off? Go watch TV, it’s still there. Turn off your phone, it has a power button. Read a book or go outside. None of the pre-internet options have gone away.
