Why?

Wouldn’t happen

How’d you end up in that career?

That first one is pretty good. If you had asked me what 550/2 is, I’d have said 275. But since you showed me 225 before I thought about it, it confused me.

I’m not a security expert by any means, though I would imagine this type of attack can more be more easily made harder to execute if all accounts have to go through one server first. Lemmy seems to be as strong as the weakest link in this regard, but a centralized model is just a single link. I imagine that any effective strategy that works for Lemmy is much easier on a centralized platforms, even though the reverse statement isn’t true.

That said, I’m optimistic that this gets figured out. Centralized platforms have had decades to solve this problem and we’re just getting started.

I think the point is that the Fediverse is severely limited by this vulnerability. It’s not supposed to solve that specific problem, but that problem might need to be addressed if we want the Fediverse to be able to do what we want it to do (put the power back in the hands of the users)

Pay off the debt of everyone in my family

Darn, I’ve been boycotting the Pixel ever since Google broke my 4 XL and tried to get me to pay to have them repair it.

Maybe they think the money they can make from companies using their APIs to train AI is worth tanking user satisfaction with their platform

That’s a good point, though my take is somewhat pointless since there’s about a 0% chance spez actually makes it up to the third party devs anyway

I feel like I’m in the minority, but I’d be happy going back to reddit if

• spez started be honest and transparent about his interactions with third party app devs
• reddit provides incredible moderation APIs immediately
• reddit stops (allegedly) “undeleting” posts

If that all happens, I’d stop being upset with reddit and instead be understanding of their situation… untill spez did something else stupid and then I’d be upset again

That literally couldn’t be further from the truth /s
