you can say fuck on the internet
In my good Christian Lemmy community! clutches pearls
Just thought it would have been better than risking deletion by some form of automods & having to repost.
Fuck.
Shit.
Cunt.
BAAAAAAAAALLS.
Amongst many other fun words.
I once knew a man from Nantucket
Vollpfosten!
I think it started in earnest the day of his AMA, whenever that was.
It actually started long before that. Fuck U Spez was already a meme when all of the API/third-party app stuff took off, but at that point, it was still mostly a holdover from previous examples of Spez being a shithead. The thing that really gave it (new) life was that AMA.
Ah yes the AMA where he made everything even worse for himself, especially by trying to slander the Apollo's dev. That seems to be on 09 June 2023.
Every day is fuck u/spez day
It is clearly July 21st, as shown on the banner of this community.
In my experience, the existing lemmy servers really started taking off from the dozens of active users that were there into the hundreds, with each day after May 31 having exponential growth. By the time Lemmy.world started around June 17, we were into the thousands. This was a huge change many of the users and admins weren't expecting, and the servers were barely ready for.
All the mods achieved was further alienation from their communities who didn't even that Apollo existed.
Most other 3rd party applications are still running under a paid subscription to cover their API usage bill.
The only reason I am here is because of the higher transparcey if mods start power tripping, at least we can see it in the mod log.
Personally there were 3 key events
- May 31, 2023 is when the details of the API change surfaced and the snowball of opinion started rolling down hill.
- June 12: the blackout started and I moved to the Threadiverse.
- June 28? - July 1, Reddit started to force subs back online by any means necessary, which is what made me realize I wouldn't be going back.
By donating to your local instance and posting the donation on the lemmy subreddit.
This is a great idea.
