It's gonna be heavily moderated and anything negative will be removed, probably.

[–] bappity@lemmy.ml 21 points 1 year ago (1 children)

they lied about Apollo blackmailing them I wouldn't be surprised

[–] erogenouswarzone@lemmy.ml 4 points 1 year ago (2 children)

What? Who lied about what? Can you expand on this, I have no idea what it means other than knowing Apollo is probably referring to the Reddit app.

[–] perkele@sopuli.xyz 14 points 1 year ago

So my understanding is Reddit, or specifically u/spez, tried to claim that the Apollo developer was blackmailing them over the entire API pricing debacle. The Apollo developer posted the audio and transcript of the call with Reddit showing they were lying. Now they've claimed his App is poorly developed and making wasteful amounts of API calls- so now he's posted a large swath of code online to disprove that also.

tl;dr reddit CEO caught in a couple lies

sorry duud I'm using jerboa and didn't get a notification for this, looks like people have already clarified below though

[–] j4yc33@kbin.social 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Ha, the lemmy devs don't know how to moderate correctly.

[–] atocci@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Is Kbin Lemmy, or is Kbin just federated with Lemmy? Still trying to figure all this out.

[–] JohannesOliver@kbin.social 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It is federated, but its own thing.

[–] zarquon@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

What's actually different about it?

[–] JohannesOliver@kbin.social 6 points 1 year ago

Mostly interface, some say it is more simple. It does both the aggregation and communities like Lemmy and microblogging. It also does some sort of microblogging related to the individual communities but I don’t really understand how that feature works.

Somebody could use it instead of lemmy or mastodon, but it also federates to them so nobody misses out.

[–] itchick2014@midwest.social 28 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I hope it beats EA for downvotes lol.

[–] ipkpjersi@lemmy.one 18 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I feel like it will, I swear he has every redditor pissed off at him right now.

[–] averagedrunk@lemmy.ml 8 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Because there's no way they'll manipulate that number in the database.

[–] kaffeebohne@feddit.de 4 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Could we theoretically pay reddit for API access and log / monitor any changes to the vote counts that way ?

[–] Pisck@lemmy.ml 5 points 1 year ago

There are actually some legit anti-spam reasons that reddit has been obfuscating vote counts and totals for a long time now. Even if this wasn't a known phenomenon, I don't think I'd trust the API call results anyway.

[–] frippa@lemmy.ml 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I think it's still free till the 1rst of July, so, if someone has experience they could do something like that

[–] kaffeebohne@feddit.de 3 points 1 year ago

Maybe someone should

[–] argv_minus_one@beehaw.org 3 points 1 year ago

They didn't bother with the announcement of the API prices. Only 4% upvoted.

[–] ipkpjersi@lemmy.one 3 points 1 year ago

Actually that's a really good point, and I should have thought of that because I'm actually a programmer lol

[–] cowleggies@reddthat.com 26 points 1 year ago (3 children)

This is going to be better than the Woody Harrelson Rampart AMA. And by better I mean an unmitigated dumpster fire. Can't wait.

[–] fomo_erotic@lemmy.ml 16 points 1 year ago

Yeah I didnt realize they were giving away front row seats to the dumpster fire of a decade. I dont know if it can be worse than Elon buying twitter, but we can hope.

[–] BackOnMyBS@kbin.social 4 points 1 year ago

Can't beat the Jose Canseco one. I used to go back to it a few times a year when I was down for a pick me up. That AMA was prime shitposting.

[–] Xer0@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 year ago

Bro come on, let's just talk about Rampart. Alright?

[–] Ado@lemmy.ml 25 points 1 year ago

I used to be the CEO of one of the most visited sites before we decided to blow it up, AMAA!

[–] Xer0@lemmy.ml 22 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (2 children)

When is it happening?!

Edit: What sort of idiot posts that there's going to be an AMA and doesn't even give a time?

[–] TexMexBazooka@lemm.ee 23 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The kind of idiot that ruins their website by killing third party tools then lying about it

[–] markipol@beehaw.org 14 points 1 year ago

Also slandering developers who have pretty much done your job for you for years

[–] fomo_erotic@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago

Its a meme bro.

[–] Luminance6716@lemmy.one 20 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I can’t wait to see how bad this goes after reading about the Apollo drama with Reddit.

[–] CheshireSnake@lemmy.one 15 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

This'll be one of the worst AMAs after the James Corden one. Lmao. He'll get crucified.

Edit: or maybe he'll just edit the questions/comments of users before answering.

[–] Xer0@lemmy.ml 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)
[–] apprehensively_human@lemmy.ca 5 points 1 year ago

Guys I think all this talk about Apollo is taking the spotlight away from my new movie, Rampart.

[–] stanleytweedle@lemmy.ml 12 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I know this won't happen but the best possible outcome would be if nobody showed up.

[–] asexualchangeling@lemmy.ml 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I disagree, the best possible outcome would be if every single question was something that they don't want to answer becouse it points out how bad they are at their job

[–] stanleytweedle@lemmy.ml 6 points 1 year ago

I think that's essentially what will happen, but they'll just remove comments they don't like. If no one showed up at all they'd look even dumber. But it's going to be a trainwreck for the ages so I'm looking forward to the show.

[–] DJDSXSHOWFX@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 year ago

Why do you say that?

[–] Wenchette@lemmy.ml 9 points 1 year ago (2 children)

What's happening? Sorry for having to ask

[–] InfiniWheel@lemmy.one 29 points 1 year ago (5 children)

For the sake of avoiding linking to reddit, basically Spez accused the main Apollo dev of blackmailing them for 10 million to "make the drama go away". But the call was recorded by the Apollo dev and it turns out Spez took one interaction out of context and even backtracked, since in the original call he even straight up said "oh sorry for misunderstanding".

(The apollo dev said that if Apollo generates so much load on the servers why not just buy it to put an end to it. Spez took it as a threat, the Apollo dev explained himself and Spez apologized like 4 times for misunderstanding)

Aaron never would've been like Steve

[–] buxtonwater@lemmy.one 5 points 1 year ago

That's why the government pushed him to suicide with their insane prison sentence. He was too good for us.

[–] BackOnMyBS@kbin.social 9 points 1 year ago

I don't know how someone can insults their character worse than by pretending to be a victim and getting caught as a fraud. At that point, your word is gone and no one should waste their time listening to anything you have to say.

[–] veroxii@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

And the real irony is that it's Reddit doing the extorting.

[–] Wenchette@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 year ago
[–] tookmyname@lemmy.ml 8 points 1 year ago

Reddit really going all on rage bait content.

[–] lixus98@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

How is lemmy preparing for it?

[–] vanderbilt@beehaw.org 14 points 1 year ago

By popping every bag of popcorn.
