How does this impact those using mobile apps like Jerboa or Liftoff, instead of the website directly?

My main account got permabanned for "sexualization of minors" after I made a comment criticizing a guy talking about what he'd do to 4th graders. Sent an appeal... and got permabanned on ALL of my accounts for "recurring offense".
Maybe spez wants to turn all of Reddit into jailbait again.

Just saying, not everyone needs session management...
"do one thing well"
Arguably, Systemd does exactly that: orchestrate the parallel starting of services, and do it well.
The problem with init.d and sys.v is they were not designed for multi-core systems where multiple services can start at once, and had no concept of which service depended on which, other than a lineal "this before that". Over the years, they got extended with very dirty hacks and tons of support functions that were not consistent between distributions, and still barely functional.
Systemd cleaned all of that up, added parallel starting taking into account service dependencies, which meant adding an enhanced journaling system to pull status responses from multiple services at once, same for pulling device updates, and security and isolation configs.
It's really the minimum that can be done (well) for a parallel start system.
App developers have already agreed to some Reddit ToS in order to get an API key, so one of Reddit's powers is to sue them. Developers don't want to risk that, so they just follow the agreement and whatever Reddit tells them.
Individual users would still need to request becoming a developer, a process which Reddit has recently changed, and agree to the same ToS to get an API key, but the risk of getting sued instead of just banned, would be much lower. The ban could include both the API key, and any users using it, so still risky other than for throwaway accounts.
Reusing the official app's API key though, could be interesting. Still risk getting banned, but interesting.
People who care about the difference between some things, tend to use different terms for them. Insisting on disregarding what they consider important, tends to make them feel insulted, which in this online setting, currently translates to getting blocked, reported, banned, or defederated.
SearXNG. It's a meta-search aggregator, you can use any public instance (the config is all in-browser) or host your own for kind of extra privacy.
Reddit also cited 3rd party apps, bots and extensions as a reason to not develop many of the features on their own... and here we are now.
IIRC PageRank was patented, so it's public, and at this point the patent is surely expired.
Hm, I'm using Jerboa and just realized there seems not to be a way to choose any language, anywhere. Does this comment appear as English, or undefined?
I also can speak several languages, and read a few some more, wonder how would that need to be set. There was also supposed to be an option to automatically translate stuff, I think?
That could still come to Lemmy, if posts start being seen by hundreds of thousands of people, particularly if they come from instances which don't share the same netiquette as the one the post is made on. Of course there's defederation to fight that, but I feel like it can only go so far.
Depends on what that "likeness" is. What if "God created both man and alien to be bloodthirsty creatures to fight each other"... and the winner gets to fight God live on GodTV. In the meantime, tune in to PlanetaryWars channel this weekend to see a whole civilization annihilate itself!
