Well sadly for me I’m a naturalized citizen despite what the Lemmy instance I’m on might lead you to believe.

Such an original, Reddit-style one liner. 😒

And all the photos look like shit because they’ve been recompressed in JPEG, and all the metadata is just gone.

.order(created_at: :desc)

I don’t have a point, but felt like typing it in Ruby. Maybe someone else will have something snarky to say.

I don’t know why but this makes me picture some dusty old-school newsroom with that one guy in all the TV shows smoking a cigar acting kind of like an asshole, and he looks up from the rough draft and while pointing at it with the cigar half-yells “have ChatGPT take a crack at it, maybe it’ll spice things up!”

What happens if you can’t provide this? The only social media I use is Lemmy (and I rotate accounts) so I would probably be screwed in this scenario.

Can we all just move on from Reddit? I feel like the constant bitterness toward it only brings a negative attitude to Lemmy.

Personally, I have Reddit completely blocked on my network and the only way to “access” it is to redirect to a Redlib instance. I don’t really care to hear about it anymore.

But you can do all that without selling out your users to third parties.

As a web developer that blocks all this shit, that’s the line I always use. I would just use first-party analytics from the same domain the website is hosted from. The added bonus is that people like me wouldn’t even be able to block it without blocking the entire website (at least with DNS).

This is why I’m such a cunt about blocking this stuff at the DNS and/or IP level. Google Analytics is essentially everywhere including IRS web pages with your Social Security number in the DOM.

Nothing against petulant, self-serving assholes though (I’ve been listening to too much Meidas lately).

Oh right, I suppose that’s right.
