So the only way to opt out of this hell is to kill your internet connection? That sucks!

No. It’s actually simple to disable. On the Roku TV just go to:

Settings > Privacy > Select Smart TV Experience and disable “Use Info from TV Inputs”

On your Roku TV go to Settings > Privacy > Select Smart TV Experience and disable “Use Info from TV Inputs”

I sure do miss when a sea of red hats meant you were probably at a limp bizkit concert and not a klan rally.

I still remember how annoyed I was when reddit disabled that. It was a useful data point, especially in hobby communities or other places where it can be difficult for newbies to judge the quality of advice/answers they’re receiving so I was thrilled to see it here on Lemmy. Going by upvotes alone is not always showing you an accurate picture of a community’s reaction to a comment.

lol Jesus tap dancing christ.

None of which work anymore.

Edit: Again, downvoting me doesn’t make you any less wrong.

As of July 12th, 2023, Libreddit is currently not operational as Reddit’s API changes, that were designed to kill third-party apps and content scrapers who don’t pay large fees, went into effect. Read the full announcement here.

Edit: Downvoting me doesn’t make you any less wrong.

None of those work anymore after the API changes. Which is the entire point of my original comment.

Yes, and third party clients, specifically alternate web UIs are not available on Reddit.

Third party client support. Specifically alternate web UI’s focused on desktop like Alexandrite because if I’m being honest here, I think the comment nesting in Lemmy’s offical web UI lacks enough distinction to be useful on desktop (its clearly optimized for mobile browsers). Following conversations can be frustrating on desktop. Without Alexandrite I’d most likely be a mobile app (Voyager) user only.

Edit: No, third party web front ends for reddit do not work anymore. Remember those pesky API changes that went into effect in July and were the entire reason the majority of us are on lemmy now? Yeah, that didn’t just kill off third party mobile apps.

Yes, The Hard Times is a satire website that usually focuses on music. They also operate Hard-Drive.net which focuses on videogame and tech satire.

Yep. Shame on any company or individual that’s still active on Twitter. It’s a nazi platform now and there’s no excuse to still be there. Mastodon exists, so if you’re still on Twitter you are part of the problem.

[email protected] is a pretty great community if you’re into movies and tv. It’s where a lot of the regulars from [email protected] went after the lemmy.film instance was shut down.

Hey all!

It looks like most of you had difficulty reaching the site for about 5 minutes, but those issues should have subsided.

During that time, you may have been shown an incorrect error message that read:

Whoa there, pardner! reddit's awesome and all, but you may have a bit of a problem.

Make sure your User-Agent is not empty, is something unique and descriptive and try again. if you're supplying an alternate User-Agent string, try changing back to default as that can sometimes result in a block.

To share some additional context on what happened - we pushed a bad code change in our tooling that resulted in a significant amount of users getting blocked without doing anything wrong. So if you happened to see that error message within the last hour, don’t fret! We’ve reverted the code change that caused this error and things should be back to normal very soon if they aren’t already.
