Because most people on a day to day basis don’t give two shits about this type of internet drama over third party API’s as long as they have their entertainment that suits their needs and it’s still easy to access and provides them what they want at a price they’re willing to pay.
Most people who are using social media aren’t tech people who even know what a API is much less care and most people don’t care about whatever app they’re using to access social media as long as they have an app. As for mods, let’s face it, they weren’t and aren’t going to give up their little slice of power over an API in the long run, on reddit and here.
Also, while you say reddit has gotten even worse, which is a subjective opinion that you and most of us all share, their stuff still works for the users at the end of the day with their extremely large user base and still thriving niche communities which lemmy just does not have due to the much smaller user base.

Progressive Politics@lemmy.world•Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez rejoins DSA after membership lapse of seven years
164·20 days agoI hope to god that you have always lived in a state with an open primary then. If not, then that’s a idiotic take overall.
If you don’t vote in the primaries you’re ensuring that no party will ever earn your vote because you’re not helping select a good candidate and you’re just pissing in the wind and then complaining that you’re wet.
I don’t like Democrats either but I vote in the primaries to make sure that progressives at least have a chance of getting in.
ETA: A reminder that simply registering for a party will get you some annoying texts, well at least if you’re in sign up for the Democratic party because they really suck at outreach, Republicans will flood the ever loving shit out of you, but registering doesn’t mean you have signed some kind of blood pact to vote for them in the general every time. Fucking vote in the primaries you animals!

88·23 days agoI still contend these abandon people are complete and abject morons that deserve what they got with their absolutely asinine decision.
Still glad they took their heads out of their asses and that the Democratic voters also took a bit of their heads out of their asses.

5·23 days agoI mean it’s exactly to Republican plan as those areas controlled by the party of Idiot America, tore apart education and the ability to have any critical thinking skills. You now have generations of people who will believe anything they hear without thinking for a single beat.

191·1 month agoAnd we just had a post about how Linux has avoided enshitification.
Small changes driven by AI right now are hopefully being reviewed and controlled by experienced and knowledgeable senior developers, for now. Let’s see how long that will last before they stop understanding what’s going on in the kernel.

Games@sh.itjust.works•PlayStation will "irreversably" delete your account along with your game library if you dont login for 3 yearsEnglish
73·2 months agoThe law covers personal data not PII and is much broader than PII that is defined under the US Office of Privacy and Open Government which has no bearing on the GDPR.
As for personal data, email addresses are covered and even user names could be considered personal data depending on if it’s linkable to a person and since your account is linked to your email and linked to you user name potentially, when they have to delete personal data the have to delete all of those foreign keys in their database that says your email once got a receipt for that game you bought digitally.

3017·2 months agoThis is for UK and EU due to GDPR that requires companies delete all user data for inactive accounts. It’s a unintended consequences of the law and other gaming companies including Xbox have similar clauses.

Technology@lemmy.world•"'I don’t like that he made this donation' — Mullvad CEO reacts to co-founder’s donation to controversial Swedish populist party"English
15·3 months agoThere’s a big difference between a CEO that openly hates unions and has affairs or a software developer making 100k a year that makes racist AF on Facebook vs a CEO that’s literally keeping a bunch of Nazis afloat and giving them an outsized voice.
Also, there’s no best option when it comes to Nazis because if you give them an inch, they’ll subvert democracy and human decency.

10·3 months agoIt’s not a “tiny” amount of money, this dude is the CEO who makes all of the money in the company and any money going to Nazis is problematic especially when the Nazis in question are almost fully funded by this CEO and yes the CEO is the face and moral driver of a company.
Pretty ironic saying the company supports free speech when the biggest money maker is bankrolling a group that specifically gasses free speech and I doubt the other working there have even a sliver of speech that the CEO does.
