Before Elon Musk's takeover of the social media platform last year, Twitter signed a multi-year contract with Google related to fighting spam and protecting accounts, among other things, the report said.
Sounds like it's not about hosting their infrastructure but tangential services.
Of course Elon Musk thinks he can anti-spam and protect accounts better by himself and without external cost.
I'd love to see cloud hosters refusing to work with Elon Musk because of all the unpaid bills stuff.
I remember surfing chans back in the day. I’ve missed it, but life gets busy. I hated reddit for a long told, but it had so much good information on there and such good third party apps that I caved and it became my favorite thing to do while shitting. I just found out about Lemmy and it feels like I slipped on an old broken-in glove. Thanks for the welcome. After the toxicity of reddit, this is nice.
Just found out about the wefwef PWA app which is pretty damn good as an Apollo replacement. Hopefully it can be a native iOS app in the future. Definitely made me ease into Lemmy a lot easier. Hope good things for the future.
Wefwef is good stuff, I've been using it for the last couple days and it's working great so far. Connect for Lemmy is good too, I keep switching between them.
Wefwef is great. I think it’s better as a webapp though. No need to regress to an iOS app, that just locks others out (android users) and requires unnecessary access to private information.
It’s gotten way better than a week ago, I’m using Jerboa, they just had an update and I’m really amazed by it. Of course it’s not perfect, but it’s enough for now.
Main thing is to make an account on any of the servers, doesn’t matter which one. After that, it’s easy.
Sort on ‘All’, scroll and if you come across a community you like, click and subscribe.
It was. The Apollo dev, Christian, informed everyone on Mastodon that Reddit was a bitter child (my words) til the end and revoked the keys for Apollo and most other big third party apps (aka the competition) many hours before the developers were going to revoke them themselves.
Reddit thoroughly burned the bridge and pissed on the ashes as far as I’m concerned. Decades of use—gone. Now I wouldn’t be caught dead on Reddit for any reason, just like Facebook, purely out of spite.
Nothing wrong with this. Their business their choice. Only time will tell if it was a good choice. depending where it is I dont think it will be. I think everyone is tired of the back and forth bs !
