It's only a war crime if it comes from the Moscow Oblast region of Russia. Otherwise it's an unfortunate but necessary defense strategy.

Except we all know the U.S. is aggressively containing China. NATO getting into the China containment business sends a terrible message.

Don't think so. Ads are served by the same Reddit servers.

For a second I thought there was a promoted post on Lemmy and I got equal parts angry and confused.

Yeah, I'm with you there. I paid twice and will gladly pay a third time.

AI datasets can be built by scrubbing web content and doesn't require API access.

This is about making sure Reddit controls the user experience and users can't, say, block their ads or hide Reddit awards. It's also a cold (and short-sighted) calculation: some people are making money from our product without sharing our costs, better kill them.

Yeah, that's some corporate dystopia shit right there...

Same! The mood here reminds me of the good old days when everyone on Reddit wasn't a cynical asshole.

Jerboa is already a better app than Reddit's official app, so I'm quite happy to give the Lemmy and Jerboa devs time to iron out the kinks.

I hate to be a pessimist, but it's not gonna work.

Most big subs will reopen, and those that don't will get their moderators replaced. The bulk of the user base is gonna switch to the official app and meme about how bad it is right on Reddit and get Reddit Gold for it.

I'm still gonna stick to either Lemmy or Kbin. I like the smaller community here; it reminds me of Reddit's olden days when everyone wasn't a cynical asshole.
