“Could”, more like “already is”. It’s a darn shame, and honestly I kind of wish the Fediverse had taken off long ago so we wouldn’t be stuck with these repositories of information being walled off by centralized tech companies

Forums are very useful for fostering discussion of gaining information. Especially in sectors like tech. As for other types of discussion, well…it can get toxic.

I really appreciate how Verge has covered this absolute shitshow. The administration is insisting on doing every stupid move possible to get their way, and destroy the communities in the chase to be a generic social TikTok clone.

Good riddance. This place is way better for my mental health.

I don’t think much of Mastodon as it is, so they’re free to rag on Lemmy all they want.

Wow, well props to you for making Verizon hold to their original agreement. I remember hearing about court cases where they tried getting out of it.

lol I wondered if anyone still had the original Unlimited Verizon plans that they tried so hard to get rid of. Have you completely gotten rid of it now?

Great writeup about the situation, and wonderful to hear actual mods speak. The requests the community is making are very reasonable. But Spez thinks they’re too big to fail.

The only way to prove him wrong is to stay away. In the meantime I’ve joined Beehaw, subscribed to a couple instances outside of Beehaw, and get my news primarily from the websites that I was otherwise seeing being linked to on Reddit.

I have to imagine the hesitancy is a perceived cost of losing subscribers once fee information becomes transparent.

Yeah, removing one character isn’t gonna simplify things if we’re taking on more stuff at the end.

I imagine folks wouldn’t have a problem with this if the ads weren’t already so aggressive. Numerous ads before and during the content break it up too much. And if the content is extremely short form, it completely ruins the experience.

The number of ads and their length should be proportional to the length of the video. And any creator doing built-in ads should also not be able to inject a bunch of other ads. Burying content is an easy way to get avoided.

Print media had limits for advertisements, heck, in magazines they were premium real estate for the finest graphic designers to put together incredible imagery to get your attention. This level of care (not necessarily images or what have you) has yet to translate to the web.
