Things that involve your human safety, should always fail open. What a travesty.
- Comment on Some subreddits could be paywalled, hints Reddit CEO - 9to5Mac 4 months ago:
I find a lot of good content on Reddit, but its different now as opposed to the early days. The good content used to be on Reddit. Now its not, its on one of 6 other sites, and Reddit is just the ad service they’re posting on. I am sick of the in joke comments and inane comments like “this”. I want discussion.
Reddit no longer has that.

He has no idea what that word means. The word he is looking for rhymes with needy.

- Comment on Spotify plans to raise prices this year and introduce new plans - GSMArena.com news 8 months ago:
When the suggestion is to pirate it, so spotify doesn’t get any money I don’t see how your follow-up comment matters. In either case of piracy, OR using spotify, the artist still doesn’t make money. Problem is that piracy comes with a lot more hoops and headaches.
Of course, buying the artist CD or songs directly is much preferable to either.
- Comment on Spotify plans to raise prices this year and introduce new plans - GSMArena.com news 8 months ago:
at least Spotify won’t make any money from it.
And the artists still won’t. So given in either case, the artist don’t make squat; using Spotify is easier. So, use spotify.

Beehaw isn’t the only instance of Lemmy, nor the only instance in the Fediverse. Sure, the feature being added to Lemmy now, won’t benefit Beehaw. But it would still benefit others. Refusing to work on the features that Beehaw wants out of spite, will definitely hurt other instances too.
Not my circus, not my monkeys
- Comment on [deleted] 8 months ago:
That query by itself in a vacuum is fine. Combined with many other triggers on the DB, and then federating that out before actually deleting from the local DB… well that is what creates all sorts of headaches.

- Comment on what do y'all actually host? 11 months ago:
I do recommend it. It’s easy to setup and does everything you need in a documentation knowledge base. I used to use confluence before their enshitification; WikiJS is much nicer for my use case.
