I love Lemmy but your question is legit. I just signed up with lemmy.world because lemmy.ml is slow/not responding.

Before making a post in lemmy.world guess what? lemmy.world isn’t responding. I know they have scheduled maintenance at 9 CET but it was 20 minutes before that.

For tech savvy people it’s no brainer to get apple tv, etc…

They issue is with normal people who know nothing about data collected and mostly the smart tv apps does the job for them.

I’m now working on a mini pc with debian as os and adblock and sponsorblock to enjoy my Saturday afternoon.

Silly question… Is it still working?

Same here… it’s frustrating, loading a post would take like 10 minutes.

Hopefully Lemmy admins/developers would solve this issue. It’s the only social media I use now.

Sad.

Old.reddit would not show comments anymore. It will direct you to reddit.

So I believe they might stop working at any moment.

RIP Apollo 💔

I think so.

I’ve seen in reddit community that API isn’t working anymore.

Memmy is actually pretty good.

Looks like Apollo in beta 💔

Probably enshitification!

Look it up.

I did use pihole to block it. Sadly, not everyone have the technical knowledge to do so.

That’s why I’d recommend apple products even though they’re not that great.

Sad to leave the app for ever.

This is why I don’t buy Android.

The software isn’t optimized enough from smoothness and battery consumption perspective.

Also, the ROM that’s usually comes from the manufacturer is either spyware, bloated, or just crap. You need technical knowledge and risking bricking your device to install custom ROM.

The hardware, which is my least concern, depends on the company you buy from.

My SONY smart tv (with apps disabled) would phone home like ~200 times a minute.

Losing Apollo was the main reason.

However this whole saga unveiled other disturbing things such as how Reddit is leveraging its communities for advertising in this post: https://lemmy.world/post/837198

I don’t trust strangers (advice from reddit) anymore after seeing this. I was expecting a subtle mention of it as what if I showed your hydrating product when someone enters hydrohommies but I was mistaken.

Let’s see your business after July 1st.

Shafi launched the breakthrough social platform IRL in 2018, and thanks to his resilience, keen instincts and optimistic mindset, IRL has become a successful unicorn social media company. Forbes.com

Today’s CEOs must be a case study on how to run companies to the ground.

Even if they make it free, I’m not going back.

Congrats.

Now no poop for 4 days.

Putin benefited from:

1. Showed that the largest military group couldn’t complete a coup
2. No longer need to justify the damage Wagner group done
3. Shows Russian that he prefer to negotiate rather than bloodshed
4. Shows international theatre that Russian troops are loyal, peaceful, and follow orders
5. Identified disloyal government officials who sided with Wagner if any

And the list goes on

Wagner head got out of it and terrorisim accusations in the future

I’m still thinking that it’s not over. Moscow still on high alert.
