Based on stuff like this and various comments from them in the past the lemmy.world admins I'm pretty sure wank themselves raw over becoming the new reddit

By which I mean, eventually having a corporate structure, obtaining funding from VCs, the whole disgusting thing

[-] UlyssesT@hexbear.net 46 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

They will probably make some version of /r/jailbait because that's what "classical liberals" gravitate toward as a constant. libertarian-alert

[-] LeylaLove@hexbear.net 30 points 1 year ago

Check to see which instances haven't defederated from Burggit and you'll figure out who's a pedo real quick

[-] SacredExcrement@hexbear.net 42 points 1 year ago

When do they incorporate feds into the moderation team, is that before or after they add pedo comms?

[-] blakeus12@hexbear.net 18 points 1 year ago

im pretty sure on the nsfw lemmy instance there is one about girls that look as young as physically possible while being 18 and it's named after jailbait which i hope i dont need to explain is pedo shit

[-] bbnh69420@hexbear.net 12 points 1 year ago

This is actually a move away from the Reddit model. They want to ban all the tech nerds that discuss stuff like free open source software and the evils of advertising and tracking to try appeal to a wider audience of more, for lack of a better word, 'ordinary' people. They're not going after the old school Reddit demographic with this, it's about appealing to newer Reddit and twitter users who don't care much about these kind of things.

[-] Awoo@hexbear.net 34 points 1 year ago

That's a terrible approach. Everyone knows the cycle is:

Innovators > Early adopters > Early Majority > Late Majority > Laggards

Trying to jump straight to early and late majority is literally pointless. You must target the kinds of people that will be the earliest users. The switch from this crowd to the "majority" crowd literally has its own name and many many books, it's called "crossing the chasm" because there's a giant hole in between the early adopters and the majority that is very difficult to bridge.

[-] aaaaaaadjsf@hexbear.net 21 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I think that the Lemmy dot world admins think they already have the technology and features to make cross the chasm. And can just attract new users with this mature technology, such as the latest Lemmy clients. There are developers leveraging their old Reddit userbase, of which there were millions of users, to install their new Lemmy clients, which seem functionally identical to their old Reddit apps. And a lot of these new users are going straight to Lemmy dot world. They believe the ecosystem is already there.

I and you disagree of course, they need to attract more active users and posters first, before they can branch out and cross the chasm. And those active users are usually tech nerds.

[-] Awoo@hexbear.net 18 points 1 year ago

The features are irrelevant what matters is the content infrastructure. This infrastructure exists elsewhere and delivers the content. There's no reason for people to switch to something that does not deliver the content except being mad at reddit (which the majority don't care enough about to follow through on).

The infrastructure that matters are the communities themselves and the populations of people that submit to them. You can't just magically transfer them, there has to be a slow and steady build up over time. You need the dedicated early people to build the foundation that will then get you the later hogs.

The issue isn't technology. It's content and people. You don't get the later people without the early people. It's so easy to see that there's a process of groups of people that should be targeted one by one after another. There's a roadmap already laid out by multiple successful iterations of the same bloody thing historically.

[-] PolandIsAStateOfMind@lemmygrad.ml 33 points 1 year ago

It's quite funny considering before reddit logo invasion lemmy was half commies and half tech nerds. And now .world hates both lol.

New idea: Reddit, but everyone's a mod.

[-] SkingradGuard@hexbear.net 42 points 1 year ago

Everyone will IP ban eachother michael-laugh

[-] SacredExcrement@hexbear.net 29 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Reddit but everyone is banned would be far better than Reddit so

[-] TraschcanOfIdeology@hexbear.net 17 points 1 year ago

Such that it becomes just a blog that nobody but yourself can read. That would be healthier/more productive than reddit for sure.

[-] CombatLiberalism@hexbear.net 4 points 1 year ago

REJECT MODERNITY (social media)

EMBRACE TRADITION (diaries)

starting to think the anprims might've had a point

[-] polskilumalo@lemmygrad.ml 55 points 1 year ago

They really are just building a Reddit 2

Basically no difference.

[-] LaGG_3@hexbear.net 43 points 1 year ago

We need a reddit-logo emoji but for lemmy.world lol

[-] Posadas@hexbear.net 33 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

[-] LaGG_3@hexbear.net 3 points 1 year ago

Yeah, I thought about doing st.orm.front but then had some actual work to get done at work lol

[-] GarbageShoot@hexbear.net 11 points 1 year ago

The difference is that they are failing

[-] Awoo@hexbear.net 50 points 1 year ago

Why the fuck would you risk damaging your community over what FREE third party app you use. Whoever this person is should not be in charge of any communities they are completely irresponsible and don't actually give a fuck about the health of their community because they don't ask basic questions like "will this hurt or help my community?" before taking actions.

[-] aaaaaaadjsf@hexbear.net 29 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

As far as I understand it, the pop up about consenting to user data being used is for the standardised Google ads, which most android apps with built in ads use. If you use a system wide adblocker or pay for the application, the pop up about user data does not appear because the Google advertising SDK is never initialised. I have tried the app, and did not get the pop up about user data as I use DNS level Adblock.

If people aren't a fan of Google's advertising network (I'm certainly not), they should already be using Adblock and blocking trackers, or only using FOSS apps on a degoogled android device. Because Google's ads are literally everywhere. This is far from the only application on Android or iOS implementing Google's advertising network to make money.

The Lemmy world admins are obviously in the wrong here though. I understand what they want to do (make the website more appealing to 'normal' people), but I heavily disagree with the approach. I think most people are capable of discussing these issues given that they are adequately informed.

Wait, wtf did they do in order to deserve this, besides their hostility to us? Did they implement anti-3rd party app measures or something in their community?

It's the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.

Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again
