Funny enough, I loved that app, and use it for news rather than Google news

A trap for people isn’t something I’d consider “useful”.

Just like a pedo van offering free food to kids… sure kids get fed, but at what cost?

And without my.comment, fewer hits because users cannot see it, which means less people provide training data.

No single drop feels responsible for the flood.

What gets us there is long term stability.

Grow organically, and they will come.

First, the tech enthusiasts, then tech journos, then normal journos, then normals.

It’s how online spaces grow.

I did, bc reddit locked up my content, and wanted to use it to train a LLM.

Let people ask again, here, in the fediverse.

I literally hate the new reddit UI, as do most peeps I’ve spoken with…

The new reddit UI is designed to push ads, and push premium subs.

We do.

It’s mailto or mime for the scheme. There’s even mbox as a scheme.

Marketing. Bsky got the venture dollars. That’s all.

Musk literally told everyone he was bringing back all the fash assholes that were banned, and to do everything to amplify their voices.

Did nobody believe him when he literally told everyone it was the plan?

Woosh! Your point went right over my head there! Hahaha, my bad

The app I’m using today has nothing to do with the instance I use.

Just like email… clients just speak a protocol, and use a particular manner of presentation.
