Just gonna throw https://github.com/polymorphicshade/NewPipe into the discussion - which is NewPipe, with extra features.
It's already making things hard. Unless you live in a cave (and even if you do, quite probably, IDK) you'll have noticed an increase in the frequency of what's euphemistically called "extreme weather events". These things are bad for us, but even worse for crops, and they're going to keep on getting worse.
I don't like the article's use of the word "snares" - it's not as if it's a trap they're being sneaky about. There are signs everywhere, there's painting on the road, there's continual press coverage, and there are wide and well-signposted turning areas for private cars on either side of the bus gate. Anyone who gets "snared" by this is clearly driving while not paying attention, and deserves more than a fine IMHO.
Or just use Matrix/Element. No phone number needed, plus federation!
Technically yes. Due to the way Lemmy works, there are no Lemmy-wide terms of service.
HOWEVER
You would need to find an instance whose admins are willing to host that discussion. Otherwise you'd find yourself banned fairly swiftly as J. Random Admin wouldn't want to touch it with a barge pole. You would also find that instance eventually gets defederated.
Hopefully people will remember what Google did with XMPP.
Thank you for your input. However, the explicit topic of this thread is what the original poster is "sure everyone lately has noticed", and they went on to solicit "a sort of discussion about people’s opinions". As I am sure you are aware, stating that I have not in fact noticed and therefore have no opinion is nothing but engaging with the topic. Please do not derail the topic further. Thank you. :)
Haven't noticed, not been spending much time or mental bandwidth on snoosite. No opinion on what happens to r/piracy.
Each post must be precisely the word "comm".
Each comment must be precisely the word "line".
Comm and line.
I'm very sorry for your loss.
There is a small, but growing, number of retailers that have decided to apply this worldwide. Perhaps GOG is the most noteworthy. Look at anything that's discounted there and you'll see their "usual" price, as well as the lowest price they sold it for in the last 30 days before the current discount started. It's a good rule, makes me more inclined to feel I'm actually getting a good deal, wish more places would do it
