Pika

as long as they aren’t going to force me into said religion I would be fine with it, if I dated anyway.

I would try to support them and all but, I’m agnostic

I only use lemmy, I left reddit during the mod api fiasco

as for social media, unless you concider YouTube or discord I don’t have any

I saw this the other day as well when i was looking at filebrowsers github looking into seeing if it had SSO support. It’s a shame really.

Firmly agree. If I notice a trend on posts being deleted after posting, I just block the user so I don’t see the new posts. Nothing is more annoying then putting a bunch of effort responding to someones question, especially tech related, just for them to nuke the post later on so it was all for nothing.

Thankfully though, it’s few and far between on the communities that I usually look at, so I have not noticed it a whole lot.

I remember that. They actually had quite a bit of trouble when they first tried to establish as an officially licensed company because of the fact that their initial user base was sailing the seas.

I don’t doubt it with some of the translations I’ve seen. I think it would be better for them to just release the main content and then release subtitles further on down the road, But I assume there’s probably some sort of accessibility law that forbids them from doing that.

It just gets super annoying watching a show and either having poor quality subtitles or subtitles that blatantly spoil parts of the series.

For example, in one piece

I use subtitles because I have ADHD, And as part of that, it makes it so I struggle to keep up with audio versus comprehending it and subtitles give me a short delay of being able to catch up and still be able to read the text to understand what happened. when the subtitles are broken, I end up hard focusing on that. or get lost requiring me to rewind. Super annoying.

I should clarify it depends on your definition of fan. When you’re making a derivative work, there’s two versions. There’s fan which is The person is enthusiastic about the content and then there is the intellectual property variation of it, which is someone who is doing it for non-commercial reasons under fair use(or said countries equivalent). However, once you start requiring money for said process, it removes the protections the creator has shielding it and generally changes the definition to that version.

Additionally, I agree a donation jar would be much better, but even then it’s been shown that that doesn’t resolve all liability because fan projects have been taken down for having a donation button even though the project itself is free, heck projects have been taken down for having advertisements on the projects website despite having nothing to do with said project

Sadly, this can be said about actual streaming services as well. There’s some episodes on Crunchyroll on even big name titles like One Piece is very clear that they took the episode and threw it through some sort of subtitle auto generator because it won’t line up with what they’re saying. And I don’t mean like they don’t align or they’re out of sync. That does happen as well. What I mean is like it will say Fred on the show, but it will say the word bread on the screen.

I don’t get it, because a service that is licensing the shows shouldn’t need to use a service like that, because shouldn’t the original source have that information? It makes me wonder if those big streaming services are still pirating the smaller things, like subtitles.

Not really a fan translation service if they’re requiring payment.

There was a pretty large exodus yea, especially among people who created content and the moderators who were insulted during the event.

Being said, many didn’t have a suitable replacement to go to. Lemmy became the replacement for a chunk of them but, if you can find where the rest went, you have gotten further than I did. I assume they either went to discord like Pinball said, or just stopped posting in general. It’s a big reason that a lot of the more niche subs stopped having posts, and the reason that reddit as a whole is so much more toxic(interaction wise) now.

Real time ip blocking while keeping the judge requirement? Idk how real time that process is going to be unless they just keep a judge on standby for all events.

Least I assume this system will need judicial review prior to actually sending the block out, otherwise this system is so prime for abuse it isn’t even funny. They don’t state penalties for abuse, they don’t state how they get the data, they don’t state a specific method of how to block.

There’s so much info(or lack of) that is just concerning if there isn’t actually a judicial review and it’s just the IP holders sounding the alarm.

Reddit is a platform that was plagued by its success for the longest time. It’s not really a platform looking for new information. It’s profiting off of the information it already has. Due to the influx of bot accounts that are on the platform, they have a bit of protection on major subs

Basically to answer your question, it’s a combination of they’re trying to make the platform look decent for an IPO that they’ve already missed their window for. And now they’re desperately trying to claw every little bit of information they want and bot accounts that are just spam or don’t add interest to the platform such as a lot of copy-pasting are generally automated out of the service. This is exponentially increased if you’re adding competitor links or links that Reddit has decided are malicious.

Sadly, they’re trying to get something which will never happen. But, because they’re trying so hard to appeal to advertisers and that IPO,

This issue was multiplied about a year and a half ago when reddit decided to remove free use of their API and then had massive blowback on it they doubled down, claimed their volunteer moderators were entitled and not needed which caused a mass exodus from the platform that it never recovered from. Why does this matter? well when any labor leaves, they also take experience with them which never fully recovered. Subs in order to lessen on that locked their requirements down using karma.

these issues are dampening the future Reddit experience. So if you’re not established, You end up leaving the platform again before you start trying to actually add content to it.

as a TLDR: Reddit is actively chasing financial value that no longer exists, and the users are punished for it.

It’s a cat and mouse game. They’re constantly doing this. Just wait a little while and ublock should find a way around the block.

At the price of current day rugs, you better be excited buying it, because God knows your bank account ain’t gonna be.

I’m still at appliance level excited though, But I’ve never been excited about decorations, so chances are, I’ll never hit that stage.

Personally speaking, intentionally not using or collecting credit in this world is dumb. It’s shooting yourself in the foot for basically everything longterm wise. This can be from rental agreements to buying a house to buying a car. Anything that needs to show trustworthiness. It’s stupid, but it’s how this world operates.

I would highly recommend reconsidering your mentality that you’ve given up on credit.

Also regarding the fraud. Hopefully you are currently mid battle on that because it’s not fair for you to have bad credit due to identity fraud and generally when proven that someone stole your identity they reverse all charges(for you) and reverse the credit score that went with it., After all, you never actually spent the money. But that’s a long and lengthy battle

I want to clarify, by prepaid I expect that you mean a secured credit card right because prepaid cards you can find at stores are meant to rip you off and charge large fees for usage and charging.

Personally I recommend discover, they offer stupid simple secured cards and after a year or so usually they give your deposit back and upgrade it to a standard credit card

This right here is what really grinds my gears. When companies own an IP, refuse to do anything on it, and then engage in litigation when someone makes a fan-based project against that IP, or someone redistributes their IP that they’re no longer selling.

Either ride the horse or leave the stable.

chiming in, even excluding self host, I wouldn’t recommend wix, their sites are so bloated and take forever for me to load, and I’ve had Firefox just straight refuse to load pages before that are wix run.

it’s the only way to run the platform in my mind. It removes a lot of the hive mind aspect of it letting you just enjoy the platform how you want and give /your/ opinion of things instead of others opinions of things. I’ve had my scores disabled since a month or two after I started and it’s been so much more enjoyable.

omg don’t get me started on this.

My grandparents are avid Red Sox fans, but they were paying 150$+ a month on cable, so I moved them to fubo, this worked for a few years but now it seems that they are trying to throw them on as many channels as possible to force a higher package. Last year he asked me what apple tv was, and I said a streaming service, why? and he said that they had a game on it that /only/ was on apple tv. it was a SINGLE GAME and they had exclusive broadcast rights on it. Needless to say he missed that game, but that’s ridiculous.
