I think Reddit is just publicly acknowledging the quiet part (and simultaneously saving money by firing their humans):

Virtually no matter what Reddit does, most people don't care because they're too lazy to switch to alternatives.

What happened in the aftermath of the /r/art debacle? People made some memes and continued to use Reddit.

Yes, that is what it claims.

True, forgot all about the tenure system, which I barely understand beyond the memes as it is.

Still, earlier discussion holds; outrage that they didn't fire him yet makes zero sense.

Now, as Devil's Advocate arguing against you and me, Harvard could choose to drop him at the mere hint of an accusation. You don't have a right to a job and not getting fired without proven cause in any state but I want to say Montana? The rest are "Right to Work."

Back on Team "Give them a second for crying out loud," we're talking about Harvard, allegedly one of the best colleges in the world. We can expect them to do right by probably investigating this properly, and we'd hope any employer we'd ever work for would bother to take more than a femtosecond to figure out if there's evidence supporting an accusation against us.

Obviously a lot of countries do have Big R "Rights" as far as labor goes, but the US is not one of them.

Turns out it's not a Cloudflare issue, but a lemmy.world admin issue:

VPNs usually add IPs all the time.

That’s not usually how it works.

It is apparently how it works for lemmy.world, as of at least this post from two years ago:

To those who didn't click onward, the answer in that post is apparently 2 years (by implication of its post date)

Ironically it also invalidates the top comment in this thread claiming they aren't concerned with VPNs, just specific VPN IPs that have been abused in the past.

 

Today, for the first time on Lemmy, I received a message about posting being forbidden from VPNs.

Hot take because Line Must Go Up is being blamed on "For the Shareholders!" lately, but:

It's not just publicly traded companies. Private companies have greedy C-suites too.

At a guess, such cooperation would undermine Lenovo's profit margin and would thus be a non-starter for them.

Enter government regulation, to pinch corporations by the ear and drag them to doing what's right for society.

Yeah, Invidious went down due to YouTube breaking their API yesterday and apparently they're still working to get it back up.

You can either plug that ?v= code into your YouTube, plug it into another YouTube alternative, or patiently wait until Invidious comes back up.

True, but your implication that I'm not doing enough while I'm sitting here complaining is just as well-served to the mirror.

 

I can't find any specific Yes / No via search and my understanding is that's not really possible due to how federated websites work, so hopefully someone more knowledgeable than me can give me a straight answer.

I had something I wanted to post that wasn't very relevant to any particular community, but more specific to me, kinda like a blog post.
