2·1 year agoThis would have a bigger impact than a worm for sure. Hah!
Whoops, teaches me to read better. Better finish my coffee…
Wondering the consequences of reviving a 5000 year old worm species. I would imagine this would never make it back to the wild.
5·1 year agoYeah - it looks like it was the pfBlockerNg on the firewall. The lemmy.world IP is on a couple of blacklist it seems.
I think I figure out my issue. I’m running pfBlockerNG on my firewall and it looks like the lemmy.world server IP ended up in the CINS_army_v4 list and was getting blocked in my network.
Tried that already. The page partially load as shown in the screenshot, most of the time the connection gets outright refused.
Done. Sorry got distracted with my dog trying to eat my Joycon.
4·1 year agoHopefully you don’t have any rogue mods. Apprently r/adviceanimals got the head mod replced by someone that seems to be more inline with the admins-reddit. (u/legweed -> u/CedarWolf)
Instead of working with the 3PA devs to come up with something that is a win-win for both parties, they’ve chosen self-destruct.
Most of the 3PA devs has already said, they are not against paying for API usage, as long as it’s a reasonable price. The pricing Reddit wants is definitely to kill 3PA.
It almost sounds like an excuse for Reddit to “revert” the site back and restore the site to pre-blackout state…
There seems to be a misconception by a lot of corporates that shoving ads down users throats will make the users want what is advertised.
Personally, I go out of my way to avoid anything that are shown to me intrusively.
I’m hoping that a lot of the subreddits that has gone dark would remain dark indefinitely. Granted, the Reddit admins might try to replace the mods on a lot of the subreddits - but at that point the community may not be the same anymore.
Unlike some of the 3P [third-party] apps, we are not profitable - Steve Huffman, Reddit CEO
Translation - we don’t have control of the 3PA and they are getting in the way of moooore profit, so we want them gone.
That’s the only logical conclusion. Wouldn’t really make sense otherwise.
Shitty toilet paper buddy!
