I thought it was about waterboarding

SAME! Also recommend Alton Brown

And I assume the image is an unrelated demonstrating a rescue operation

They got pulverized

Apparently there’s been a “compress the rich” hashtag going around.

Though That 19 year old didn’t want any part in this, was scared of the whole thing, and only went to appease his father

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.

Newbie question: what is the motivation of the parties creating these bots? What do they gain out of this? Are they seeking to destabilize lemmy?

Anyone know why this is happening?

That’s lovely. I was curious if you had more cross stitch projects on your profile and I saw the possum one–it’s awesome. That’s the only one I saw though. Hope to see more in the future!

Spez is salty because he sold Reddit for 10m back in the day

CBC did a whole expose on this! Really interesting video: https://youtu.be/W1yqcagavfY

I see several posts, the latest being 13 hours ago, a bugout photo post titled “my grab and go bag contents”

One thing I wish these news sites would cover is that it’s not only the API changes that people are upset about.

This was just the straw that broke the camels back. It’s been a long time coming.

My personal gripes were:

1. Corporate astroturfing (this is the #1 reason I left, the entire front-page just felt like r/hailcorporate but nobody is aware)
2. Reddit official app served ads in the damn comment section
3. Bots of many varieties. Karma farming bots. Politically motivated bots (especially on r/Canada)
4. Mod abuse (r/antiwork for instance)
5. Censorship (r/fencesitter for instance)
6. The stupid NFTs being pushed

Also, the API situation will make it harder to moderate subs without the tools that were previously available

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

I see your post, so I guess that means sub is not closed?

I’ve never heard of that. Where did that rumor come from?

Question: Does commenting actually boost visibility?

You mean the big expansion pack they released a while back? It was incredible, the devs just dropped it one day out of the blue, all for free, nobody had asked for it but everyone was amazed by it.

Been replaying Into The Breach. One of the best turn based tactic games there is out there.

Holy shit

Agreed!
