As a small game dev, I can tell you that I get a lot of emails from people impersonating content creators requesting keys for "review." They then turn around and sell those keys on sites like Kinguin to make a quick buck. If you buy from key reseller sites, that's who you are supporting. Developers don't see a cent.

Interesting, I'll try it: @dhamster@dhamster@fgc.network
Edit: Nope, maybe because this is a comment.
It's not super stable at the moment, but at least I get that smug feeling of superiority for using a free and open source platform.

So can Lemmy users see Mastodon stuff as well? I've tried to look up stuff from Lemmy on my Mastodon instance and it doesn't work, but on my Mastodon server I can see my Lemmy account, but nothing on it.
Hey folks, as many of you know by now, reddit is falling into the same accelerating spiral of [enshittification](https://www.wired.com/story/tiktok-platforms-cory-doctorow/) as many other for-profit platforms. I'm not going to get into detail about the short-sighted API changes that have, as of today, killed the favorite ways for many to browse reddit on mobile, as they have been discussed to death in other places. I'd rather not reopen the CB communities on reddit as that would be rewarding the reddit admins for their bad behavior. Instead, I'm going to encourage the community to take a look at [Lemmy](https://lemmy.world/) and other free, open-source alternatives to reddit. For 11 years, circlebroke has been (ironically) complaining about reddit on reddit. Maybe it's time to break that cycle. Or we can just start complaining about Lemmy on Lemmy, who knows.

What's crazy is since last year the admins have been asking mods to step up their free labor or lose their subreddits. Now they want to micromanage mod decisions too? Coupled with the admins trying to turn communities against their mods, there's a serious loss of trust at this point, and I don't think the admins are going to get it back.

Lol, fuck spez. I've used reddit since 2011 but this debacle has been the last straw for me.
