Very appropriate in this case:

There's already some big communities. I abandoned my PS5 magazine after finding a much bigger one

Mark Zuckerberg summarised this phenomenon really well:

They trust me....dumb fucks

Seems convenient for Apple unless if they've sold out already

Reddit as a company has too much influence and control over the platform for the protests to work effectively on the 'average user'. People have been conditioned over the past decade to accept all forms of exploitation for a small convenience.

I don't think there will be a great migration that people are expecting, but it's a good opportunity for others to start something new. I think the overall adoption will be similar to Mastodon, where it's good enough but nowhere near representative of the Twitter engagement or userbase.

 

Just deleted Apollo from my phone (and refusing the refund of course). Let's see how this Fediverse thing plays out but even if it's not as popular I think it'll be a refreshing change from being dripfed paid-for-content on the mainstream subs for the small convenience of getting good discussions on niche subs

Looks good but you might find some very dated stuff in there. I just checked the iOS one and it's based on XCode 8.3.3 which was released back in 2017. The recipes may be relevant but they won't be plug-and-play and if you're really looking to learn you're better off with more recently updated courses from the likes of Udemy, and the free Stanford course on YouTube that include things like SwiftUI

At a similar time as The Verge was threatened I noticed some articles changed their tune and switched to downplaying the Reddit situation. The one I recall is Gizmodo reporting that Reddit traffic was back to normal.

It'll be interesting to see how things play out at the end of this week when the 3rd Party Apps go offline, but to be honest I'm happy to say my new home is Kbin.social and don't see the need for an active Reddit account, though I may lurk from time to time if I'm looking for some particular information that's not yet on Kbin.

The game changer for Fediverse is stable mobile applications, once the Apollo shaped hole on my phone is filled I think it'll be pretty much a drop-in replacement.

In the early Internet days I recall the theories were that the 'World Wide Web' was literally just that, a trap to catch people and 'internet' being jokingly referred to as being 'into-the-net' with similar meaning. At the time those concepts referred more to Internet addiction but now I find it strange that it's come back around to the whole idea of us all being trapped in the corporate web with no escape whilst they leech off our rights and privacy as we lie helpless and despondent.

Catchiest: Adventure Time
Memorable: Game of Thrones (are /r/freefolk here yet?)
Favourite: Futurama - watched every single one for the different slogans and classic cartoon clips
