They're so hypocritical too. Steve Huffman will rant for hours about third party apps taking advantage of Reddit's free API to make money from it, and then turn around and make money off of free moderators. He reeks of greed.

This is a far better ship than our last one.

Thank you! I've never tried the over ear loop before, but I'm willing to try it.

God I hope they get sued into oblivion, and I hope that Steve is personally financially set back because of this whole series of events.

Yeah, I left Beehaw. I understand what they're trying to do, but I think they shouldn't have tried to grow so much if they were intent on being such a walled garden. There was so much conversation on Reddit for people to come to Beehaw, and now the rug gets pulled out.

What about for people like me who are on a whole other instance (I'm on Rammy). We are federated with everybody, both Beehaw and Lemmy.World. if somebody from Lemmy.World posts on Beehaw, does that mean I still can't see it?

I'm a few days late and just discovered this community myself, but I have a Chevy Bolt. I've been driving for Uber while in nursing school, and driving an EV has easily saved me thousands of dollars on fuel costs. I'd say every fourth Uber passenger asks me about it and we end up having a convo about EVs too!

An "adult company" wouldn't have their CEO go on an extemporaneous personal attack against a third party developer in the middle of a Q&A.

They mentioned living in "Tory country', which if I'm not mistaken is the UK equivalent of a "red state" area in the US.

Despite the fact that it's not high quality beer, those prices are just so amazing. Long live the Czech Republic!

I did the same, and I also cancelled my premium account (I know, I shouldn't have paid for it in the first place).

There is a sub called r/lounge which is a "reward" for paying for Reddit Premium, and you also get temporary access if your post gets gilded. It's a pretty inane sub mainly for just idle chatting, but I really noticed the amount of posts in there drop off a cliff in the final week. They hide the subscriber count, so you can't see how many members there are. But just judging by post activity, I guarantee that it at least cut in half.
