  • I mean it’s safe to say it was probably the last opportunity to do a protest on that scale even before these changes. Maybe they can still do “remove any post on wellthatsucks that isn’t a vacuum” type of change.

    Probably old Reddit imploding will bring a few more this way, but safe to say that most people who left Reddit because it’s changed for the worse since 5-15 years ago have already left. Still, I have seen a few new users join Lemmy after TechLinked mentioned the site and a continuous trickle would be welcome.

    On another note, hearing the “council of Reddit moderators” makes me imagine a cringeworthy meetup in someone’s basement.









  • Well, as you may be aware, banks like getting money.

    Taking money from their customers through banking fees and interest on both deposits and loans isn’t enough for the banks and credit card issuers. So they sell credit card and loan usage information to whoever will pay for it, and these credit monitoring companies will, to keep a file on you (tied to your SSN/SIN). They know how many loan accounts and how long you’ve had them for, how often you pay your loan bill on time vs. not, what % of your credit limit you tend to use each month, and when you go shopping for new loans (since loan agencies will request your file from them to determine whether you are trustworthy enough).
