Yeah I believe it's loading everything over the net. I haven't looked super closely into it. I'm not sure what, if any, practical applications there are for this. Seems like it's just a fun impractical project. I'm here for it. But you're right about it being terrifying lol.
That's so scary. Hopefully no underlying condition causing this. Awful to happen at such a young age.
I've noticed some transphobia and homophobia recently too (usually from lemmy.world accounts ๐)
I think you have to be signed in to see the NSFW stuff. Clicking the link above will take you to the instance site, logging you out. I think you need to search the instance url in Lemmy to go there from your instance?
lmao my bad I just saw the article and couldn't believe the size of the thing.
Other instances can always wall them out from the beginning. Sure, they might have better UI/servers, but if they're never federated they've essentially just created another Facebook.
The couple of times I've checked Reddit since leaving, the top posts have seemed lower effort. A lot more reposts than I remember there being. And the comments are meaner than before.
Wouldn't be surprised if the ReVanced patches swapped out the API keys for Reddit's own, so Reddit's servers just think it's their own app. For now that approach may be viable, but Reddit will undoubtedly be working on checks to prevent this.

When I first joined Reddit I remember thinking the conversations on there were more insightful than on other sites. Recently it's been the exact same poor quality of content. Since the exodus (in the couple of threads I've lurked) I've noticed it's got FAR worse in such a short period of time.
Yesterday I checked in on Reddit and read some comments under a video of an older man getting called out for taking creep shots of a girl in public. A good ~50% of the comments were saying he's allowed to take photos in public ??? It was honestly disgusting.

I escaped a teams only company for a slack company a few months ago. Best thing I ever did. Plus I got a payrise.
