Given their post on mastodon saying they won’t defederate, I would bet money they took that meeting and signed an NDA.

Maybe they even are getting some funding out of it.

This is all speculation of course, but if they don’t deny it then I think it’s pretty likely.

Oh, looks like I’m switching instances.

Email is the one thing I don’t bother self hosting.

You need to use an existing host with reputation or most of your emails will end up in junk or be outright blocked.

If they didn’t get paid by Reddit they likely sold it on the dark web.

I am one of those users.

Don’t even feel the need to go back to reddit. This platform is going to take off.

But that’s not really a feature of Lemmy itself, but the program reading it.

For example, if I’m using a Lemmy app on my iPhone and I see a post with a YouTube link, the app is the one that needs to implement this embedded view feature.

But it’s sustainable if it’s non profit.

Most third party Reddit users were happy to pay in the range of $5 a month. The reason everything is shutting down now is because they don’t just want to break even, they want profit, and a shit ton at that.

The fediverse makes social media non-profit by default which means that we can all share the cost.

Wikipedia is one of the largest websites in the world and is still non-profit. It shows that it’s sustainable.

Will that android technique work on IOS too?

Edit: nvm Apple blocks Firefox extensions, curse you Apple.
