Some bots I like. I don't want to turn off all bots just because some of them want to spam all the instances. Plus, I use Lemmy's RSS feeds sometimes in an RSS reader which isn't logged in, so that setting wouldn't work for that use case anyway.

Is this even supported natively on all browsers yet?

Would surely overload servers too, as an infinite amount of instances make tons of requests all at once at random times. Oof.

So don't use RSS then? No one's trying to convince anyone to use RSS if they don't want to. I was just correcting the validity of the original statement.

I think you meant to link to https://podcast.asknoahshow.com instead?

Just curious: are all of the requests coming from same IP and user agent?

This is the key. RSS reader apps also let you easily filter out stuff you dont want. I use the Lemmy feeds on Open RSS

Elon Musk is challenging conventional business practices with a unique strategy for his tech ventures

Lol. What exactly is he doing differently from what every other greedy corporate shareholder of any large tech monopoly has done?

Make promises he cant keep? He said he would open source Twitter code and he's done exact opposite.

Try to extort money out of users for basic features? Making people pay for Twitter blue to DM.

Prevent developers from making third party apps by forcing absurd rate limits?

Sounds just like any other money-hungry big tech CEO to me. 🤷‍♂️

I'm never going straight to lemmy.world. This happens even when links are going to a Lemmy post on my instance, programming.dev. For instance, I'm viewing this post on programming.dev, and I just had to log in again to see it.

I'm usually just either clicking a link that directs me to a post on this programming.dev instance (via my RSS reader) or just typing the programming.dev domain in my browser bar. Neither of which seems like it would have cross-domain cookie issues, so not sure what it could be.

It may be difficult if the context behind those decisions are lost, but I imagine it can be doable for a smaller company, assuming the amount is reasonable. And ofc, there's always a chance the extra overhead may piss off a few engineers 😆
