Or just require an account to have reddit premium in order to use the API.

This is just incorrect.

What you are describing is a boycott. And it's probably true that that's the most powerful thing a normal user can do against reddit.

But mods can do much more by messing with their sub. In terms of headache caused.

I want it to burn and I want to watch it burn. Is that such a crime?

I was skeptical at first. Decided to give it a shot and, while obviously not perfect, I like it a lot so far.

I think my biggest issue before is actually a feature rather than a bug. I used to think, "federation is too confusing for the average person, it'll never take off".

But considering how hostile the average comment is on Reddit, keeping the "average" user away might be the best thing about Lemmy.

This is like how some companies view their IT teams:

  • Everything's working, why do we pay you?
  • Stuff's broken, why do we pay you?

I think many people just couldn't care less about pirating and believe the companies can't figure out who they are. For example, I discuss pirating stuff pretty openly on my reddit account. But every single comment I make, I consciously make sure to not reveal enough for people to dox me.

I also don't have Facebook which is how most people figure out identities.

"Hmm, they're an underwater welder from a specific small town and they have three sons. Well this is the only Facebook profile that matches that so I bet it's this person" type of thing.

  • pickup trucks with nothing in the bed

Maybe it'll happen the same time we all forget how to use any technology as complicated as a tv remote.

My cats like to look out our bedroom window in the morning. We have smart blinds. So I use an Ikea motion sensor to tell when one of my cats goes near our bedroom blinds and one of the blinds then opens just enough for them to look outside.

Another is we have indoor security cameras to spy on said cats when we're away. But when we come home, I use Home Assistant to turn the cameras to face the wall and when we leave, it turns the cameras to face the rooms.

It actually is the best for displaying all-number dates to people as well because no one in their right mind will ever do yyyy-dd-mm.

So if you see the year first, you know the format. When the year is last and you see a date like 03-02-2023, you have to take into account the nationality of the author to know if it's March 2nd or February 3rd.

But 2023-02-03 it becomes clear that it's February 3rd.

A bidet is a life changer. So much cleaner and faster than toilet paper or wipes, and it even pays for itself via saved money on toilet paper.

I switched to protonmail. It's especially good if you have your own domain name like firstname@lastname.com because you can tie that to your protonmail account.

I like it a lot so far.

Yeah, the titanic situation involved submarines, suspense, radar, underwater drones, etc.

The suspense was key, too. A race against the clock of oxygen running out. What happens if the drone finds them, but can't free them? Stuff like that made it a very unique story.

So of course people are more interested in that one.

Doesn't the fediverse have privacy problems too? Or was that incorrect?

Another option is to add tdarr to your *arr stack and have it automatically convert any problematic audio/video streams into ones your devices can handle.

I have it set to encode truehd(?) audio since none of my devices support it and it also ensures there's a video stream that my roku device can play since it's a bit pickier than my smart tv

Threads has like 100 million sign ups. It could replace Twitter.
