Press any key to continue… No, not that one!
Some bots I like. I don’t want to turn off all bots just because some of them want to spam all the instances. Plus, I use Lemmy’s RSS feeds sometimes in an RSS reader which isn’t logged in, so that setting wouldn’t work for that use case anyway.

Yeah, will never understand why these big billionaires keep taking these “we are for the people” stances, but are still trying to spin up these same ol for-profit, centralized products. If they really cared, they’d use that money to help nonprofits or decentralized services and stay out of the damn way.
The Chinese have it right with the food too. Love me egg foo yung
And probably not as intentional as most people think it is vs just laziness and maybe a lack of planning.
Yeah founder made an update here.
This is so mildy pedantic it’s adorable lol
Never understood the reason for RSS bots and communities like this when there are already a ton of services and rss readers that do this already. This just makes Lemmy more spammy since the posts in these communities get federated in every instance. It also pollutes Lemmy search results, making it harder for people who want to find real discussions.
Isn’t there already a comm called Drama? I’d just check it out to be nosy tbh
This is so true. It costs more money for the server power required for something like that to be pulled off.
There’s a comment in this thread going all crazy complaining about it being costly to host anything on the protocol to stop Bluesky from dominating it and everything. But im like “uhh yeah, servers and storage costs money”.
It’s just so weird how everyone thinks hosting popular sites should be free.
Right, and what’s even as bizarre to me (as an engineer) is that they’re bots posing as people.
That’s arguably the most deceptive and malicious way to use a bot on a site meant for real people.
But they’ll quickly block any helpful bots anyone else tries to integrate on the platform.
“Our bad bots good, your good bots bad”. What a crazy world we live in.
I love a friendly debate 😀:
The statement says How can you steal something that the customer cannot own?. You can definitely steal it if “you” aren’t the customer. And you can steal it from a “customer” even if the customer doesn’t own it and someone else does. And you can steal if even if you are the customer, because you aren’t the owner. The only time you can’t steal it is if you are the owner, because you own it.
The definition of “steal” you mention seems to be proving the point I’m making. Something can be stolen if the person stealing it isn’t the owner, which is the case in the first three examples I mentioned above.
The statement is an odd play on words and loaded with assumptions that are left up to the reader, which is why it’s super weird to use it to try to prove the point the author was trying to make.
if buying isn’t owning, then piracy isn’t stealing. How can you steal something that the customer cannot own?
By stealing it? You dont have to own something to steal it. Or maybe I’m reading that wrong. Lol it’s a very interesting take but I like the spirit of it… And it made me laugh. Cool 😎
News sites are better to consume via RSS feeds. Check out openrss.org that has feeds for a lot of websites. There are even RSS feeds for Mastodon and Lemmy.
Agree. Different platforms have different purposes and the experiences probably should remain separate.
I always find these perspectives that want such a high level of fed integration peculiar when this can already be done using RSS feeds. It’s the whole reason they exist. To bring all of the updates from anywhere on the internet Mastodon updates, Pixelfed, Peertube, etc into one, single timeline view. The tools are already there for people to use if people want them.
RSS feeds are great for this! I’ve been using them for years. It allows you to build your own universal feed of everything on the internet. Open RSS is a organization that provides RSS feeds for any website. Here’s a good article that talks about what RSS feeds are.
I use RSS feeds to follow Lemmy, Mastodon, and Kbin communities and even specific users. For example, the RSS feed for the community this was posted in is at
https://openrss.org/lemmy.world/c/fediverse
You just add that to your RSS reader app along with any other web feeds and you have a feed tailored to everything you want to follow, catered to your interests. And no algorithms because everything is always in chronological order.
You can try an RSS feed. Here’s a link to the RSS feed to this post:
Is this any different from how one starts to look as they grow older in age?
