The beehaw admin said, to grossly paraphrase, they don’t have enough admins to deal with the extra activity and they’re “mildly annoyed” that sh.itjust.works and lemmy.world have “open registration” policies as they feel it invites trolls and the like.
🤷
Edit: full post if you want to read it. I left out some stuff about ethos and spirit and stuff.
Huffman said 97% of Reddit users do not use any third-party apps to browse the site.

Huffman acknowledged that if those users instead browsed with Reddit’s own app, it would shore up the company’s bottom line.
Hmm.
I’m a JetBrains person. I like vim, but I also heavily use IDE features and VSCode just never scratched the right itches. I’ve worked with many people who use VC but when I pair with them and watch their workflows, they simply aren’t as efficient, as if they’re unaware of what a proper IDE can actually do. They also complain when VC extensions get mature and become paid extensions, which hasn’t been a problem with JB.
I use Copilot with JetBrains, but it’s only “cool”, not “awesome”. When I really need help with some code Copilot rarely does the right thing, and JB’s code completion already works really well. I know Copilot for VC is better than for JB and they claim they’re going to bring parity to JB at some point, but this article makes me suspect they’re lying. If they don’t I’m going to start shopping for competitors.
Hah, that’ll be fun on my desktop… I don’t even have a microphone.
We’ll make some plugin that downloads the ad and tells Google it was “totally watched and stuff”.
🤣 I didn’t think you were trying to tell me something, I figured the Lemmy code goofed somewhere.
I’m undefined? 😟
Otherwise known as managing success. Once you have a successful cash flow you need to diversify it and build your business to have multiple cash flows.
Semantics I guess. Di-worse-ification isn’t always the answer. They had a large product lineup, which was probably more expensive for them than it needed to be. They went under because they failed to fortify their balance sheet… rates went up and their debt crushed them.
Capitalism works fine just turning a profit while plenty of companies die chasing growth. It’s just part of it.
Twitter isn’t like reddit in that hashtags don’t have moderators. They outsourced moderating to the users, and now Musk has decided to remove it entirely.
I don’t get it.
It’s not how they managed success, it’s that they ran out of it. Making a successful niche kitchen appliance is not a business, it’s one of many things that a successful niche kitchen appliance business does.
Successful businesses also allocate capital optimally, build formidable brand and product moats, hire amazing managers and build fortified balance sheets. They forgot to do all that stuff. (See also: reddit)
Several companies have called for this, and they all have an ulterior agenda. OpenAI just wants street cred and to have their competitors regulated. The rest simply don’t have a product and want everyone to slow down while they catch up.
Regardless, they all know on some level the government can’t stop AI just like they can’t stop piracy or cryptocurrency.
Has that happened with Mastodon?
Orgs spending volunteer money have to be careful, they have to allocate money to their stated causes or they could get in trouble. A Lemmy instance would have to coincide with their agenda.
A philanthropist can do what they want, but they could still attract criticism for not donating to world hunger or some more optics-friendly cause. They’d also probably end up with a fairly popular instance which would require effort spent on maintenance and moderation.
I think people who actually want to run instances will end up running them. I’m considering starting one. Some of those will end up running really good, stable and desirable instances which can then attract donations for the cause.
When workers strike, are the temps better?
They can do this. It won’t go well.
