Track mania. It’s a little addictive. Though I’m not good enough to participate in the online events, yet.

Nope, it really doesn’t need that, just use any of the web clients if you need that.

But lemmy, nor Mastodon, nor Pixelfed, nor kbin need that.

“thrives”, “inflates its userbase using instagram”.
Potato, potato.

If you like Tetris-like puzzle games you could look at Mixolumia

Musk has fully entered the altright edgelord arena.

Meanwhile, Amazon does sell ads. Sponsored products are advertisements.

What do you mean with “replacing”?

Example, I’m not visiting reddit anymore, instead spending some of my social media time here on Lemmy. So for me it has already replaced it.

But if you mean replacing reddit as “the Internet’s frontpage”. I don’t know. It would be nice, but on the other hand, maybe we shouldn’t want that.

What was the inspiration for these internet standards?

It very much isn’t a hail Mary to generate money, they’d have bent over backwards if they’d wanted to keep big players like Apollo and RIF on board, if it had been a hail Mary. 20 million bucks a year is nothing to be sneezed at.

The fact that they left Apollo out to dry shows that it never was about making more revenue, but rather to stamp out competition for their own app. As soon as it has accessibility parity with other apps, it’ll turn off API access for unofficial reddit apps alltogether.

On the one hand I can totally understand this reaction by Kev, on the other hand, by completely locking off all discussions like this, means that there’s no way to change things for the better.

Granted, it’s Meta, they’re not to be trusted, but still, a discussion, if one has the time, wouldn’t be too bad an idea.
