And Downfall has a scene for the second half of the joke. (Warning, while it’s not graphic you may not want the scene in your head)

Imagine the person (or more likely a whole group) who has spent weeks designing and iterating over those arrows.

Interesting that they went with the possessed teletubby look.

The linked post has some analysis of Reddit’s loss off traffic based on SubredditStats data. I noticed the same trends when I was looking earlier but some of the drop-offs look so dire that it made me think that maybe the data collection broke. Any idea how they get their data?

Edit: there is some discussion of this over at !RedditMigration@kbin.social too. lemmy.world link to that thread.

Antennapod’s implementation of this is so nice. My Antennopod DB dumps have survived 5 years, multiple device transitions and almost 1500 hours of podcast listening.

Some other apps that I use that do a good job at dumbing/restoring their data:

• Fedilab: client for Mastodon and some other fediverse instance types.
• Keymapper: remap physical buttons and keyboard keys
• Newpipe: video and music player for youtube and some other services

Fedilab is #1 in the “Top Paid” category! (US)

Fedilab is an open source client for Mastodon and some other fediverse protocols (no Lemmy yet). The Google Play paid version is a way to support the developers.

• It’s stupid if:
  • you do it without understanding the possible consequences
  • you do it in a way that can be detected
• It’s not stupid if:
  • you are aware of the potential consequences and you consider it an acceptable risk
  • you are very confident that it won’t be detected

For example I use a similar method to access Discord and I am aware that my account might get banned if this is detected. It’s a calculated risk that I am ok with.

To clarify these are not bots but users expressing their opinion in this fashion. The r/modcoord thread where I saw this has some comments with the background. /r/ModCoord/comments/15rvzb0/mod_team_for_rthingsforants_just_got_removed/

Check out mlmym if you want to see it resemble the old.reddit experience too.

15 years. I haven’t deleted my account yet but I haven’t logged in since API day. I have a redirect in place to go through a libreddit proxy in case I end up on the site through a web search or something.

I am pretty commited to never contribute to the site again and I am planning to delete my account at some point. I want to make sure that I can reliably delete my full comment history before I do that and I haven’t bothered researching that yet. I am hoping that there will be a way to do it through a GDPR or CCPA request at some point rather than me having to do the work. (yeah I know there are tools but it’s still an effort)

Reddit had been my greatest online addiction by far. It’s kinda nice that they made it so easy to kick it. A bit like finding an unexpected out from a bad relationship. Good luck with the rest of your life Reddit!

Sure but a more generic ActivityPub instance implementation and client API with good support for both Mastodon-style microblogging and Lemmy-style group discussions (and FEP-400e if that goes anywhere or whatever else people settle on) can easily fit within the “one thing”. There is a ton of overlap between the two and I am pretty sure such implementations will emerge eventually.
