This is nothing more than an opinion piece with bad takes.

What a bullshit article.

That’s 99% of what gets posted to medium.com

I have been using Brave browser with the crypto stuff disabled.

The mere fact that you have to “disable the crypto stuff” tells me all I nee to know about Brave Browser, and it’s enough to ensure I’ll never install it.

I give ~$15/month total to a couple of creators I really enjoy. They put a lot of hard work into their videos for a relatively niche subject, and it’s not much to me. It helps them a little so I don’t mind doing it.

Is this different from voyager.lemmy.ml? If so how, and why should I join another instance instead of continuing to use that one?

Why is this posted to Technology? This has nothing to do with Technology, and belongs in one of the many reddit threads or communities that already exist.

I just got a threat from them on one of the subs I moderate that is private and has been for years. It included this gem:

If this community remains private, we will reach out soon with information on what next steps will take place.

We already know what their “next steps” are. It will be interesting to see if they ban my account as well. I’ve already nuked all of my comments and posts. Fuck them.

90-plus percent of Reddit users are on our platform, contributing, and are monetized either through ads or Reddit Premium

I wonder how many of those reddit premium members have cancelled their subscriptions. I know I did. I had premium for years as it seemed like a good way to give a little bit back to a site I was using multiple times a day, every day. As soon as Spez started his bullshit I cancelled it and won’t be back.

I’ve looked at peertube a few times, and everytime I do, it seems to be filled with nothing but videos about the latest cryptoscamcoin. I have zero interest in that at all. Until they get content worth watching, it’s not going to happen.

This is great, I’m honestly glad they have their own forum on their own page as opposed to something like Discord.

I know people will be disappointed it’s not on lemmy or similar, but it’s for the best to be honest. Since it’s a product, it’s much easier to have something they fully control and can have ownership over (including who and what can be posted there). It’s a great decision by them.
