Good!

After the awful mistreatment of the Apollo dev https://old.reddit.com/r/apolloapp/comments/144f6xm/apollo_will_close_down_on_june_30th_reddits it's clear that the paying api was just a farce to destroy the 3pa competition.

Also u/spez still uses java 1.1

Thank you for changing.

Yes, thank you!

Make it longer as in “until further notice”, redirect us to an alternative forum, and let’s get the Hella outa here for good.

Bring back PhpBB/VBulletin forums! Hell, lets go back to USENETS.

Shouldn't we already be thinking about some kind of aternative? like e.g.: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy self-hosted? The goal of reddit is not a community, but maximization of the profit.

Great idea! It looks like there is already a Java lemmy: https://lemmy.nz/c/[email protected]

Out of interest is their an app we can use for lemmy?

+1 for closure until further notice

I'm looking at Tilde right now and it seems good. Lemmy has structural problems IMO that will prevent it from really taking off.

Edit: Mainly that most people out there have no interest in a decentralized anything (we like centralization, just only when its people we like doing the centralizing) thereby turning the selling point into a drawback imo.

Move to televistar.com, same as reddit free to use no censorship bs etc.

Is it FOSS? Federated? To avoid another lock-in like with reddit...

Really?

Imgur doesn’t seem to break even. Does anyone have better insight to Imgur’s business model? The benchmark send to be flawed.

Please, stay civilized. We don't want to get any reprimands from reddit itself.

Sure sure, I hope you decide to go on a blackout indefinitely… this is just disgusting 🤢

woj-tek

Very good!

Any Java discord communities around? Some of the ones here look interesting but would like to build a good list of alternatives..

_1dontknow

Which other platforms? Is there some official r/java on Discord or such services?
