SAME! Also recommend Alton Brown
Yep, I try to upvote everything and comment as much as I can. I’m still confused about how to post to specific instances on Jerboa though. Like I’m typing the name but it’s not showing up in the dropdown
The most discouraging thing that happened was that when I wrote a long and thoughtdul comment and press send, Jerboa gives me the “java type blabla” error, and I lost everything I typed. Then I don’t wanna type it again and I just give up on commenting
Hopefully these issues will be fixed soon! As I understand it it’s not even an issue with Jerboa specifically.
Anyone know why this is happening?
I’m also new to this and I’m confused about something. On jerboa, when I click a link like the one you just posted, how can I subscribe to it? It seems to open it in-browser but within jerboa but there’s no subscribe button or anything
Damn, I don’t have Reddit anymore so I can’t vote or even see the upvote numbers on the comments. Can anyone give me the rundown? This is hilarious
I’ve never heard of that. Where did that rumor come from?
Question: Does commenting actually boost visibility?
And this means we’re not giving them clicks or anything? It’s basically as if we’ve never visited in the first place?
I get that “no ads no tracking”, but does the proxy give them a view? I don’t want them to get any traffic from me, proxy or otherwise.
Thanks for sharing
I’ve been wanting to boycott Reddit for a long time, and the list of problems I had with it was very long. It took this API issue to finally get some community action.
But in short, Reddit is moving away from genuine community, and more towards fake astroturfed corporate content with manipulated comments and unabashed bot activity.
I have nothing against it OP for sharing this, but the headline of this article by PCgamer is super clickbaity, witholding the key info until you give them a click. There was a subreddit called “saved you a click” that was basically taking clickbait headlines and putting the “prize info” in the post title. I wonder if there will be a Lemmy equivalent.
Is this internet feudalism?
I uninstalled reddit. It’s the only way to kick it off
If you can’t be monetized, you’re just noise. They don’t see their community as people, they see them as data to be harvested and eyes to be advertised to.
r/Canada was taken over by alt-right a long time ago. r/OnGuardForThee had to be made in response to that. I feel like Reddit in general is going that direction. The sheer volume of bot activity on most major subreddits is insane.
And some ugly-ass NFT snoo abomination
Wow I didn’t know they were canning old.reddit.
To them, loss of 3rd party users is insignificant because they’re users they weren’t able to monetize to begin with
I thought it was about waterboarding
