This is nothing more than an opinion piece with bad takes.

What a bullshit article.

That's 99% of what gets posted to medium.com

I have been using Brave browser with the crypto stuff disabled.

The mere fact that you have to "disable the crypto stuff" tells me all I nee to know about Brave Browser, and it's enough to ensure I'll never install it.

My personal subs that have been private for ages recieved messages saying they will inform me of "further steps" if I refuse to open them up.

One of them is /r/[myRedditUsername] that I use as a kind of scratch pad that I can access anywhere (I've since self hosted a wiki) that they are demanding I open up. Like seriously, no one would ever be interested in whatever is there.

They can get fucked. I deleted all of the posts and comments on all of my accounts and requested GDPR requests on all of them. reddit can get fucked.

I'll give you that one. Speaking of which, I should watch it again, I haven't done so this year yet.

I give ~$15/month total to a couple of creators I really enjoy. They put a lot of hard work into their videos for a relatively niche subject, and it's not much to me. It helps them a little so I don't mind doing it.

They aren't third party. They are buying Google Domains and all of the customers that come with it. If you don't like it, don't continue to use them. It happens every time a company gets bought out, the customers are part of that package.

Is this different from voyager.lemmy.ml? If so how, and why should I join another instance instead of continuing to use that one?

Why is this posted to Technology? This has nothing to do with Technology, and belongs in one of the many reddit threads or communities that already exist.

I just got a threat from them on one of the subs I moderate that is private and has been for years. It included this gem:

If this community remains private, we will reach out soon with information on what next steps will take place.

We already know what their "next steps" are. It will be interesting to see if they ban my account as well. I've already nuked all of my comments and posts. Fuck them.

90-plus percent of Reddit users are on our platform, contributing, and are monetized either through ads or Reddit Premium

I wonder how many of those reddit premium members have cancelled their subscriptions. I know I did. I had premium for years as it seemed like a good way to give a little bit back to a site I was using multiple times a day, every day. As soon as Spez started his bullshit I cancelled it and won't be back.

I've looked at peertube a few times, and everytime I do, it seems to be filled with nothing but videos about the latest cryptoscamcoin. I have zero interest in that at all. Until they get content worth watching, it's not going to happen.

And people wonder why I prefer forums. The "Discordifcation" of everything is out of control.
