Maybe it was a paid hit piece by Microsoft or Apple.

No worries, I'm new here myself :)
Was there meant to be a linky?
That's the camel's nose in the tent, eventually you wind up with an Edward Snowden type situation:
They can do their own in house testing and let that be good enough. As you say though, I don't use RHEL derivatives since they killed Centos.
It's basically Usenet with nicer formatting :)
This is a better solution in my view π
I never heard of spez until this debacle...now that I have a face to go with all the scummy corporate behavior, I'm absolutely out of there...I see his face every time I go there now and it skeeves me out :P
If you use a 3rd party app to access it, it's probably cut off now, the web version still works okay...I haven't tried Reddit's own app...I usually use a web browser anyway.
"Youβre in a desert walking along in the sand when all of the sudden you look down, and you see a tortoise, itβs crawling toward you. You reach down, you flip the tortoise over on its back. The tortoise lays on its back, its belly baking in the hot sun, beating its legs trying to turn itself over, but it canβt, not without your help. But youβre not helping. Why is that?"
Teaching new users how to find, subscribe and be able to post to communities that aren't on their own instances is the biggest hurdle in the Fediverse I've come across so far. To find this community for example, all they have to do is put "!reddit@lemmy.world" in the search box while logged in on their instance and they'll find it and be able to subscribe. Also getting the idea across that they don't have to have an account on the instance where their favorite community is in order to subscribe and post there.
Aside from that, maybe a list of communities in the Fediverse that closely match popular subs on Reddit eg: /r/all, /r/worldnews, /r/videogames, etc.
I think this time the problem isn't going to go away...they got a pass after Centos but they're showing a pattern of behavior now.

Hip Hip, Hooray! π
