Apologies for being the bearer of bad news. “6 hours ago” means roughly 6-7pm Eastern on April 30, 2025. I have no further information; I only know because I was going to visit the wiki and . . . apparently now I’m not.
It’s under “Guides & Search Engines” in the Software section of the megathread, should anyone with rights care to update.
Why is it sad news?
I really dont see it as bad news, probably people that still uses reddit sees it as a blow to piracy or something along the lines.
I really hope Reddit keeps on its road to enshittification so more people realizes what kind of shit hole it is and more open to try the fediverse they would be.
If Reddit keeps on this track its only a matter of time till the fediverse gets a proper place among the broad public
I don’t see this ever happening to be honest. Considering how much shitter YouTube has been for so much longer I don’t believe most people online will ever leave the mainstream platforms.
I believe fediverse will be like Linux. It’ll always have a dedicated userbase large enough to sustain itself, but it won’t be big like the proprietary platforms. And that’s ok.
This isn’t a place for the broad public though. I live in a place that is 75% conservatives and they are not welcome here. It doesn’t work both ways. Either you stay what you are and grow very slowly, or you allow different thoughts. It won’t happen, but Lemmy would quickly outgrow it’s current capacity if it did.
This is a public forum and you don’t make these decisions
Pipe down.
If everyone disagrees with you, maybe you’re wrong.
If everybody agrees with me, I ain’t doing my job
You’re right, we all do. Which is why conservatives aren’t welcome here
🤡
Yeah, you are!
Or are you seriously going to try and tell me the Conservative communities here are welcoming to them? Or that they don’t get massively downvoted and bullied until they either leave or learn to shut the fuck up?
Anyone can sign and join Fediverse that’s the entire purpose of it a decentralized platform.
I am sorry politics hurt your brain to a point where you can’t understand world outside of the idiotic American left right cricle frame of reference.
But sure keep jerking yourself as a good liberal lol
Good job, you know the basics! Doesn’t mean they’re welcome, though
Lol, random unrelated insult thrown in here for no reason, I see
I’m not a liberal, nor am I jerking myself off as one. You seem pretty upset to have a basic fact about the website you use pointed out to you, bud
Yeah well, it’s not news that Reddit does this. I’m still baffled how people see this as sad news here.
I don’t understand. Are you saying we should be happy to see more online communities being eliminated for the benefit of corporate interests? Why wouldn’t it be disappointing (aka, “sad”) to hear about more of that going on, even if you dislike the platform where it’s happening?
Yes, that’s exactly what I’m talking about. Anything that leads to the demise of Reddit is something I (personally) will be happy about. It’s their problem if they stay on a platform like that, knowing full well that their community can be banned in an instant. Now they have the option to create that community here.
That’s unfortunate.
