I’ve heard Reddit is setting themselves up for another major fumble and that it relates to how much Spez is a fanboy of Elon Musk.

I can’t find any details on the drama playing out though. Can someone explain the details of what’s going on?

I would love to see Lemmy grow with another big “Rexxit” event, but I’m not seeing anything happening to cause one.

    And FEDERALLY he has no leg to stand on. Are you intentionally missing my point here? He wouldn’t be asking FEDERALLY. He would be asking PERSONALLY, because Spez glazes him. The FED has no rule of law they can use to force a site to link to another.

    Tell that to USAID or all the other orgs he is gutting.

    They say in the comment section of a post on a alternative. C’mon, you’re just being contrarian at this point.

    Again, lemmy is not an option any more than mastodon was an option for twitter. For many reasons, people only want to go to large “simple” corporate owned websites.

    Maybe you should actually educate yourself on a topic before you comment on it, hmm?

      Do they? Well, they’re morons then. I prefer a user base that can navigate the dangerous world of an unfamiliar interface.

      Okay, you’re just trolling at this point if you think reddit is a government agency somehow. Not even gonna bother further with you. Blocked.

        Just in the interest of anyone who thinks this person had even the slightest argument:

        To summarize. musk is not the de jure “fed”. he is very demonstrably de facto. But hey, apparently reddit loves everyone enough that they are going to fight a federal government that has made it clear they don’t give a shit about any actual laws or constitutionality.

        Oy

          Considering the humiliating displays of fealty from meta (overtly manipulating search and firing factcheckers) and tik tok (grovelling public announcement) it’s not hard to imagine there’s some serious threats against any site operator that doesn’t bend the knee.
