"This is going very poorly, we will pretend to listen to our customers so it looks like we are course correcting, winning favor with investors and customers (big businesses, not home users)."
They may even switch CEOs if the situation worsens, but the practices remain.
Yeah they will recall their plan soon enough
Why does your lemmy client have ads?
This kind of takes are pretty racist, and you should try to examine why you feel this way. Not an attack, being genuine.
It was not meant to be as harsh as it came across. And yes, this function is for logged out users, was just trying to show that it ends up messy.
I assume you’re one of the devs? I can delete the comment if you want, but I think it would be worth fixing sooner than later instead of just adding features. A lot of the mechanisms are a bad idea even if it wasn't a mess but you do you.
that it shouldn't matter what client someone uses
There are a few implementation issues and incompatibilities I saw but not too confident in my knowledge of the protocols to say good fixes. Not sure what the Judas comment means.
I was curious so had a look around.
I assume it's this https://codeberg.org/rimu/pyfedi/src/commit/cfc35b0e1b812d929d62aea87f47014f8ce845b4/app/main/routes.py#L131
if current_user.is_anonymous:
flash(_('Create an account to tailor this feed to your interests.'))
content_filters = {'-1': {'trump', 'elon', 'musk'}}
Some of the complaints about hardcoded values were fixed in the last commits, but the code is a spaghetti mess littered with ad-hoc hacks for random whims of the developers. This is bad software design and disrespectful to users imo, but to each their own.
I believe I used it on reddit, long ago but there were no ads. I was surprised since no other client I know of has them (and no lemmy server has ads).
I use voyager, it’s great.
