Could you post a screenshot? I’m very curious about how they’re wording it.

The addresses were originally obtained through a Freedom of Information request, so yes, 100% public information.

The first impeachment was December 2019. You’re right, though. The system is stacked heavily in his favor right now, and getting Trump out isn’t going to make everything magically better. Vance and Mike Johnston are next in line, which… isn’t good.

I joined reddit ~15 years ago and there was already a very large, active userbase. It’s not a young platform, and there have been multiple protests against them by their users, yet reddit is still very much alive. I don’t think the confidence from investors is unfounded. Pissing off their users has kind of proven that there isn’t a real competitor out there.

We’re in the minority of users who have actually gotten fed up with them to the point of finding an alternative. Most people will complain but still stick around and stay active on reddit. They get new users daily who don’t know reddit as anything other than what it is now. People generally don’t care.

As is, I don’t see them going out of business anytime soon. If they continue to make ridiculously idiotic business decisions they might, but that’s on-brand for them at this point.

I can see it going either way.

Yes, that too. It’d be much more convenient if we could drive in a straight line to our destination, but roads were built for a reason! Air traffic is no different.

I did this. Luckily, nothing was lost because I was only using it to learn at the time. It oddly boosted my confidence because if I could break the OS, I could learn how to use it.

There are mountains and multiple no-fly zones along the direct path. They’re avoiding those.

Y’all, this has nothing to do with the curvature of the Earth. There are mountains and multiple no-fly zones that would be crossed if they flew in a straight line.

Same. I originally came here after they killed off 3rd party apps, then I figured out how to patch RiF again and didn’t spend as much time here.

The propaganda and misinformation have gotten to be too much. Advice subs are all fake AI stories. Admins are making a fuss about people breaking the rules, but refuse to disclose what the rules actually are.

I really enjoy Lemmy. The downside is that it’s not as easy to organize (and find) niche spaces like on reddit. I’m hoping the small communities have grown more since the first mass migration.

I always recommend watching the director’s cut. It’s like a totally different movie and gives more context.

Spam/bot accounts easily gained more karma than average users. User history has always been the best identifier that an account is genuine.

His ego. He thinks he can run the whole website himself with huge improvements.

I’m not familiar with Twitter, but putting a cap on how much content you can view on a social media website doesn’t seem like a smart move. If people are seriously doom-scrollers and hit the wall, they won’t be happy. “Free speech absolutists” will be pissed when they see that there’s a limit to their access to “free speech.” Involving paid teirs also looks greedy.

All of that aside, there are better ways to fight bots rather than limiting their daily access. Bots will still be able to scrape a large amount of data daily. Why put a cap on how many posts you can view in a day instead of detecting accounts who are viewing posts at a much higher speed? I doubt most human users will interact at the speed of a bot, and the accounts who do can be verified as real.

Writing a code to detect bots is harder than putting a usage cap, though. That would require employees and Musk actually asking for someone to do something he can’t.
