I've heard a few people say that they don't use reddit apps anymore and only access reddit via old.reddit. Could someone explain to me how that resolves the "morality issue"? Isn't that still traffic and aren't they still getting money? Is it less money somehow?

Yes

Is it less money somehow?

No.

Khan,

Dunno for sure, I feel the same way as you, but I think it’s more about "I refuse to use the app you intended me to be forced to by killing [favorite 3rd party app].

If combined with an adblocker they don’t get your ad revenue but they do still get to add you to the tally of “active users”, so I still feel abandoning ship altogether is best practice.

Any surge in kbin or lemmy signups?
I'd check myself, but don't know there to look. We might not see much change until Tuesday when the long weekend is over.

This is the tracker I know of: FediDB

curt,

So a bit of an uptick. Tuesday might be when it shoots up, assuming it does.

Why does rif still work for me? Anyone know what's going on? I got the 429 this morning but now it's working exactly as before.

luckystarr,

It will probably work until your temporary credentials time out, the old API will be shut off or you try to re-login.

Logging out will shut it off for good. You probably won't be able to log in again then.

What are some tips for dealing with solicitors (door-to-door salespeople)? Our neighborhood gets a lot of them.

We have a “No solicitors” sign hanging on the front door. Nevertheless, they knock, ring the doorbell, or worse, yell through the front window when it is open, trying to get our attention.

We have a Ring video doorbell and have enabled the automatic “Sorry, we’re not interested” announcement after 15 seconds. These pushy SOBs ignore the sign and the announcement.

When I ultimately find out they are soliciting and I ask why they ignored both the sign and the doorbell announcement, they usually say something like, “I’m not selling anything. I am just working with some people in the neighborhood…” or some such BS.

My wife and I work from home and have had to explain the window shouting to coworkers in meetings. We also have two small children who could be trying to nap at any given time. We have good reasons to not want to be disturbed at home and these assholes disregard that wish.

I will write a negative review online if I find out their name and company they are representing. Any other ways to get these people to leave us alone?

Hazzia,

This wouldn’t work if it’s different people each time. That kind of deterrent requires the solicitor to already try once, but OP makes it sound like a rotating door of people

Rachelhazideas,

Threaten to call the cops if they don’t leave your property, and then actually call the cops when they don’t leave.

Get camera footage of them. If they show up again, file for trespassing charges.

You’re past being polite at this point. These people aren’t entitled to harassing you all day.

gentleman,

@snazzy0933 Tell them “I rent” gets rid of them immediately.

Infinity app is still working for me? Is it the same for anyone else? I'm loading by new and I'm still getting new posts.

DillingerEscPlan,
@DillingerEscPlan@lemmy.world avatar

The Dev has posted that Infinity will remain working and free until their paid subscription update is released. How they are achieving this I am unsure. The other reddit client I have installed, Stealth, which I just browse on anonymously, is still working also.

The dev said the app will be free to use until the update is published

I personally have just plugged in my own API key which was much easier than I expected. You can do that here

Gotta say, kbin.social is looking more like what I wanted from Reddit in the first place than Reddit does.... I may be dropping that account soon.

Is there a way to upload multiple images on kbin? Similar to how you would do it for Reddit?

UnanimousStargazer,

Keep in mind you are probably using server space by uploading multiple images at once, that others pay for. Is there a reason why you want to upload many images at once?

kurgal,

@UnanimousStargazer I'm just curious. If we're going to migrate over from Reddit, we at least need it to be able to work similarly to Reddit

While wiping my reddit account I remembered I still had my other old and novelty accounts to wipe so I get to feel that satisfaction multiple times over.

Hello friends, ready to take the plunge in the fediverse, still learning my way around it but I'm excited at the potential.

monkey_fish,

@Roccosbasilisk - I just joined. My first reply. Gotta test things out. Hopefully it can scale well.

11 years of posts, most of them just trying to helping out others, are now gone. Thanks Power Delete Suite! I feel like I just had a breakup that was my choice,...it feels really disappointing but I'm free!

What do you think of Mastodon ?

NotTheOnlyGamer,
@NotTheOnlyGamer@kbin.social avatar

@xc2215x I think it's useful occasionally, but I prefer KBin.

MonsieurHedge,
@MonsieurHedge@kbin.social avatar

@xc2215x Empty. The lack of normal-ass people means there aren't enough monkeys-at-typewriters to put out the occasional absolute banger.
