Me, who’s already been here for a few weeks, trying to just load a post or make a comment right now with the influx of traffic:
Wanted to be on a reasonably big instance, since I figure they’re more likely to stick around in the long run. Lemmy.ml was closed for registration at the time (might still be, idk), and plus I have some disagreements with the admins, so I chose lemmy.world. I’m pretty happy here and don’t see a reason to change personally, although the server’s getting pretty overloaded recently so we’ll see.
More recently, we have determined that there isn’t value in having a downstream rebuilder.
Alright, well, there it is in plain English. They’re killing downstream clones like Rocky, Alma, etc.
I have to wonder how this is going to affect software which officially only supports (insert RHEL clone here). I use DaVinci Resolve for work every day, historically they’ve only supported CentOS, and just recently they started supporting Rocky as well. VFX isn’t my wheelhouse, but I know the situation is basically the same for those programs as well.
It doesn’t matter how hard Reddit tries to break up the protest, if they don’t reverse course on this, the site will implode on July 1st when the API changes happen and mods of large subreddits no longer can use the tools they need to do their jobs. Reddit’s trying to claim they have new mod tools in the works, but I’m sure they’re full of shit.
Everyone at that company is an absolute idiot for not listening to the moderators they’re actively antagonizing right now, and it’s going to blow up in their faces.
