Elon Musk was the face of DOGE, but records show that Russ Vought, Trump’s budget chief, played a key role in guiding DOGE behind the scenes.
Tomorrow at 6 p.m. ET, head to Reddit to ask our reporter Andy Kroll about Vought’s influence over the Trump presidency: https://www.reddit.com/r/fednews/comments/1o8zj92/im_andy_kroll_a_propublica_reporter_i_just/

It “only” took me a few years to find out that I don’t need to have a PeerTube or Lemmy account to interact with them; I just need to copy/paste the link in Mastodon search and then follow or reply.
Why no one is saying this little detail FIRST to all the n00bs coming from the Horror socials? After this you can explain the fediverse; Now Activity Pub makes so much sense to an atechnical person.

great!
i love how you repeat the cultish devotion to promise over reality
truly wonderful
#bluesky is #centralized. not technologically, but in implementation
and yet it is your feverish irrational devotion to "maybe someday!" over the simple reality that true #decentralization is already here, for years, on #mastodon/ #fediverse
"but i got it working!"
yes, and i implemented #reddit's code and i'm running a clone of reddit so reddit is not centralized! gotcha!
🤦
cultists
@phillycodehound I cry inside every time I do a search on The Internet and the top results are filled with #Reddit links...
...but if they were Lemmy links...
@pluralistic While my experience pales in the scale to your (as usual, amazing) article, I experienced #solar #enshittification firsthand:
My installer bolted a third party #Sunpower charging monitor to my house, which worked great to see what my hourly/daily/yearly output was until Sunpower went bankrupt and was bought out by Enphase, who, you guessed it, wants me to pay a subscription fee to see the same monitoring data. Fuck that.
Fortunately, (#Reddit to the rescue): The data from the microinverters goes through my router, and someone found a hack:
https://github.com/krbaker/hass-sunpower
All I need to do is implement the hack and I get my data back, then reconfigure the router to cut off Enphase! Its like #UnauthorizedBread but for solar.
Tech companies including WhatsApp and streaming giant Twitch could be among more than a dozen sites added to Australia's social media ban for under-16s, the country's regulator said. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/business/2025/09/24/tech/whatsapp-twitch-australia-ban/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #business #tech #whatsapp #twitch #australia #socialmedia #apps #reddit #roblox

All equally good questions. Not only do these too have perfectly usable Free Code replacements, they're also decentralised.
For Discorpse/ Telegrim there's XMPP and Matrix apps, and public rooms can be made available via both (and IRC). For dReddit, there's Lemmy and PieFed, which federate over ActivityPub, making them part of the fediverse.
"Anche su #Reddit c’è un problema di foto condivise senza consenso
È un caso ancora diverso da #Facebook e da #Telegram, e ha introdotto delle misure per evitarlo, ma non è facile"

Frage an die Menschen die sich mit dem #österreichischen #IFG (besser) auskennen: gibt es irgendwelche Bestimmungen im Gesetz selbst dass die Anwendung nur auf neu erfasste Informationen anwendbar wäre? Grund ist dieser "Experte" auf #Reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/Austria/comments/1n5kbfa/comment/nbt8ybt/
Ich wäre überrascht wenns so wäre, aber ne Bestätigung aus der #Schwarmintelligenz wäre schon nett.

Reddit is already spamming me full of notifications about stuff I really don’t care about. I don't care if someone wrote something in a subreddit I subscribed to.
Is it already on the path to entshittifications? IPO, more ads, annoying growth hacks? Is Lemmy already an alternative?
