All the principled pirates have jumped ship to lemmy so it was bound to happen sooner than later.

    I thought I wasn’t gonna give a shit about this, but it was quite enjoyable. Too bad, so sad! Looks like that guy’s discord is now well known for the wrong reasons…

    The fact that even happened tbh is insane tbh, but I’m so glad that people are now jumping ship tbh esp what the dumb decisions Reddit has made in the past couple of years.

        Looking through their comment history, they proclaim their honesty quite often, it’s pretty funny when you’re looking for it 😆

        I’ve now tagged them so I’ll remember that they are very honest: very honest user

        My reply to to be honest is always oh, were you lying before?.

        Usually gets a confused laugh.

        From now on, unless I see three declarations of honesty, I’m going to assume they are being at least somewhat dishonest.

    I read that the (banned) member joined reddit a short time ago, I wonder how he became a mod

    The mod u/Furdiburd10 who manually approved and stickied the post has been removed from the mod team. Reddit’s spam filter actually caught it early on and the community helped mass report. They also fully censored comments from yall calling it out.

    What a giant loser.

    Out of curiosity, is our megathread the same as theirs? If so, it might be time to make our own independently of theirs.

    It’s harder for corruption and lawyers to target multiple instances rather than one centralized location

    I took a bribe on my Minecraft server once. Although I made them change it from going to me to being a direct donation and keeping it a secret. I also confirmed it with the owner who was basically paying for it out of pocket lol. Good times.

    Man, what a joke Reddit has become after the 3rd party exodus, seems like most good subs went to shit.

      Luckily this lead us to Lemmy and the Fediverse, which – in my opinion – is more akin to Aaron Swartz’s original vision.

        He would’ve had a Lemmy instance running secretly in a server closet somewhere on the MIT campus.

      IMO this has nothing to do with the 3rd party stuff, stupid mods getting scammed for $800 has nothing to do with Reddit decisions

        Well if all the good mods leave and you only have the bad ones left or people who come in just to profit, you get this.

      Of course getting people over from reddit is nice, but honestly the exact same thing can happen here as well. We’ll always depend on the integrity of the people with mod status.

          Crowdstrike is not owned or in any way in a business relationship with Microsoft, offers the software that caused the issue for Mac and Linux as well, and in fact caused similar issues on specific Linux Distros a few months before this recent cock up.

          The issue only effected Windows OS machines that were running the Crowdstrike Falcon endpoint protection software, which runs at ring 0, kernel level. This presents the same potential for causing boot loops in all OSes due to the nature of running software that deep into the guts of things. The only caveat is that some Linux Distros have separation preventing things from running at that low level, and apparently so does Mac OS.

          The update was not pushed out through Microsoft, as many are incorrectly repeating. It was a malware definitions update which was downloaded automatically by the Falcon software itself, without any configuration options available for admins to stage and do partial rollouts for testing.

          Also, I significantly doubt that any company is going to do a complete overhaul of its IT architecture to switch over to a new OS for end user devices, when the simplest solution is to just switch to a different endpoint protection software. I’ve worked half a decade in an enterprise architecture type position, that simply isn’t how things work in this world.

        Thanks for linking the Reddit thread. I tried to do my part to spread the word. The more people talk about Lemmy on Reddit, the more people users will switch.
