When Chrome was first launched, so many people thought Incognito would be useless. Little did they know.

I wonder if search engines will see content duplicated across multiple instances and derank them thinking it’s SEO spam. Or maybe I’m overthinking since google is already full of SEO spam.

I fully migrated but the vast majority of users won't. In fact, a significant portion of users that try Lemmy will likely go back to Reddit.

This is what happened with the Twitter -> Mastodon migration: https://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2023/06/op-ed-why-the-great-twittermigration-didnt-quite-pan-out/

I’m glad to see this but app stores have anti review bomb measures so this might not make a difference

Makes no difference to me.

I stopped using Reddit and I’m glad that I don’t have to worry about this kind of user hostile changes.

On desktop the market share is somewhat higher.

I switched back to Firefox ever since the Quantum release and have been loving it.

I wish Mozilla would spend their resources on the browser instead of wasting time and money on so many other useless projects.

Maybe a jailbait mod who also secretly edits user comments with his admin privileges is not suitable to be CEO.

Can't believe that in 2023 we still rely on passwords so much, even more so when there are silly rules for password "strength".

Moderating is time consuming, tedious and done by volunteers. I'm not surprised that they get overrun after the latest influx of users.

He’s following in the footsteps of his idol, Elon Musk

Maybe it was an acquihire, looking to hire a team capable of building a new Reddit app.

If the discussions have been going on for that long, why this exact moment in time, and why such a short deadline?

Why any moment in time? We did it when we did it. We could do it a year from now and we’d probably have the same conversation. We could do it five years ago, we’d be having the same conversation.

I guess what I still don’t quite understand is, if this has been thought about for a long time, is the goal just to meet this deadline and move on? Like just turn a new leaf from there?

We don’t have to meet our deadline. We told folks hey, we need to come up with a plan, or we’re going to start billing you on July 1st.

Complete mess of a CEO. I'm so glad that I'm not using Reddit anymore.
