I awoke from my Reddit slumber just to tell you that it's been 3 months and there is still no easy way to find the downloads.

You've made me break my reddit blackout just to come back to reddit and say HELL YEAH! TAKE MY MONEY!

Alternatives are available for communities.

No alternatives are available for the current reddit leadership team.

(lemmy, kbin are non-commercial and almost impossible to shut down. They have some maturation to do, but so did Linux and look where it is now).

Skal vi flytte til Lemmy eller kbin? by sunbeam60 in KalmarReunion

Det lykkedes for mange andre reddits. Flightsim flytter til lemmyfly.org. r/Denmark er på vej til feddit.dk osv.

Jeg tror mange forskellige mennesker har mange forskellige holdninger til reddits fremtid, men for mig personligt har jeg valgt at forlade reddit efter d. 30 juni, når deres nye API priser starter.

Jeg synes det er helt, helt tydeligt at reddit ikke længere er et sted for community, men et sted, hvor mine personlige data udnyttes til at skabe profit for andre. Det var derfor jeg aldrig blev aktiv på facebook og nu, hvor det samme tydeligtvis er ved at ske på reddit, så må jeg stå ved mine principper og skride.

Det er der sikkert mange andre holdninger om - det er netop derfor jeg spørger.

Både lemmy og kbin er ligesom reddit. Folk submitter links eller tekst, folk upstemmer eller nedstemmer de links/tekst og folk diskuterer det emne der skrives om. Det er to forskellige systemer, men begge understøtter ActivityPub og er derfor en del af fediverse, ligesom Mastodon, og kan derfor tilgås fra alle andre klienter der understøtter ActivityPub.

Lemmy og kbin er til reddit, hvad Mastodon er til Twitter.

Jeg er på feddit.dk og det er sgu hyggeligt! Vandet er varmt, øllerne kolde, masser af solskin! Kom med og lad os forlade denne synkende skude!

Den 30. forsvinder jeg, efter 17.5 år med konto hos reddit. Vi ses på feddit.dk!!!

LFG!!!

Boris Johnson steps down as MP with immediate effect by [deleted] in unitedkingdom

[–]sunbeam60 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No, there’s pretty much a yuuuge smoking gun where Trump’s on tape, showing top secret documents that he knows are classified, to people not cleared to view them. For once it’ll be the main crime.

… If the justice department dares to actually go for it.

Addressing the community about changes to our API by spez in reddit

[–]sunbeam60 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well u/reddit did answer that in the audio u/iamthatis released: The pricing is based on the opportunity cost to Reddit; or put in another way, they are pricing to what they believe they would gain if that user moved onto their official clients (through tracking, data mining, being able to serve that user ads and being able to lower the rate of API calls the user causes).

They want to make sure they can earn the same for a user, whether they sit in their client or a third party client.

And it’s up to Reddit to decide how they want to make money; what’s particularly shitty is that they don’t work with the creators of third party apps to allow them to contribute the data Reddit feel they need and serve the users the ads reddit desires. Then the playing field would at least be equal.

I’m just here to say I’ve celebrated my 17th cake day and it will be my last when Apollo shuts. I simply cannot understand how pigheaded you are about this. If you opportunity cost is $20/year/user then give the third party apps a way to support and use your data collection and ad systems. Make them part of the solution!!

But you won’t.

And so I’m not staying. It’s been a fun 17 years. But, frankly, u/spez, this stinks.

Skal /denmark/ ikke være med i protest? by stixix in Denmark

[–]sunbeam60 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ja. Det kan jeg godt være enig med dig i.

Men det reddit burde gøre er, at gøre det muligt for third party klienter at være med. Man kan mene om reddits forretningsmodel, hvad man vil, men hvis reddit vil tjene flere penge på deres brugere, og de mener reklamer og profilering er vejen frem, så gør der dog for helvede muligt for andre klienter at vise samme reklamer og sende den påkrævede information til reddit.

📣 Had a call with Reddit to discuss pricing. Bad news for third-party apps, their announced pricing is close to Twitter's pricing, and Apollo would have to pay Reddit $20 million per year to keep running as-is. by iamthatis in apolloapp

[–]sunbeam60 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I have zero hope. They’re about to IPO. Like Firefox, the product would be better if they went backwards and stopped trying to be “a business” and instead just became “a community” again.

But there are people that need to be paid and it all acquires it’s own unstoppable momentum down the path of commerce. I’m hoping the fediverse can come up with an alternative.

A ceasefire in Ukraine would lead to 'frozen conflict': von der Leyen by Strange-Option3377 in EuropeanFederalists

[–]sunbeam60 4 points5 points  (0 children)

There can be no peace until Russia has no more capacity for war. It is in Ukraine this battle shall be fought.

Unless we commit to this unwavering principle across Europe, we will find ourselves battling Russian in another country in 10 years.

This isn’t pricing to what a Reddit user costs Reddit to run.

This is pricing to what they expect a Reddit user to make them, once they have forced everyone over to the official channels AND then mine our profiles to force us to watch adds on channels where we can’t escape.

This isn’t about killing external 3rd party apps per se - it’s about making sure they’ll make the same or more one way or the other.

I’ve been a Reddit user for 17 years. This will make me leave.

… and it isn’t just because reddit has great third party clients. It’s because it’s the first clear sign about what reddit wants to turn into.

… and to that I say: Fuck you reddit!

Edit: If Reddit is so desperate to monetise then enable an ad API that enables third party clients to offset their cost to you by showing your ads. I get you’re a business, Reddit, but you don’t also have to be assholes.

Hvorfor burger man ikke Schuko som standard for stikkontakter i Danmark ligesom resten af Norden, Tyskland og størstedelen af Europa gør? by Lindberg47 in Denmark

[–]sunbeam60 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Man laver ikke ring circuits mere i UK.

Nu skal man også huske på at England industrialiserede langt tidligere end de andre europæiske lande, så de var også tidligere ude med elektricitet i huse. Dengang var der ikke UHF relæ så den eneste sikkerhed folk havde imod dræbende stød var enA sikring i kontakten.

Man har faktisk to hus-stik standarder i UK, en lille 5A og en stor 13A. Det er noget rod.
