Honestly, some things can be done faster/as fast on GUI. So really just use whatever increases your productivity.

Is this self sabotage at this point?

Apollo for lemmy when?

"ActivityPub is like using email pretty much."

That's my favorite analogy to use when I explain what the fediverse is sometimes.

You make a fair point.

Advertising requires money. Its a slippery slope that'll lead us down the same path as Reddit again. We're better than that.

I can see it happening at some point especially with all the alternatives but it'd be really hard to get that appeal especially with how some people within the fediverse view tiktok. You're also gonna have a hard time in my opinion getting users from TiktTok over so you can't really appeal to that crowd. I wouldn't say its impossible but it'd just be really really difficult.

Gotta vent about our ex at some point.

YARRR

Came up empty.

because they know people will believe their bullshit. Afterall, them gas prices were so high 🙄.

You guys will use anything. Holy shitt

Its so weird when people bring up freedom of speech and then they end up saying the most vile shit. Not implying anything here but I'm just saying how often that happens.

Why is she starting to look more orange with that thumbnail?

Maybe thats why Meta wants in

Soon we'll have breathing "as a service".

Dear lord...

Initially pre orders made sense back when physical media was the only way to get games. Nowadays though, you are absolutely right. Digital games have no right to cost around the price as a physical product (especially when even that physical product doesn't even have a cool manual and its just an empty plastic box with a disc in it).

If lemmy gold becomes a thing, I'm gonna burst and die.

It's also the most noticeable for the common user. You can ignore an entire logo change (one that sucks by the way)

Oh no, no one accepts this at all. In fact, it was much worse just a few years ago.

I'd prefer that law be implemented really. Its obnoxious and puts more risk to the driver than if it wasn't there.

To be honest, the only reason they're doing this is because of EU regulations. Otherwise, we wouldn't even be be a thought to them.

Crappy mods and the ignorant, egotistical attitude that plagued reddit for years, making it the laughingstock of the internet.

Not really. The same reason why alot of social media is still incredibly successful even when they are actively violating your privacy; people just want something easy to use and out of the way. They don't care at all as long as it works so when you try to give them an alternative, they might join but then see that no one is on their or is much more difficult and as such results in them hopping and then leaving.

Fuck loads of cash but nothing to show for it.

good bot

This is someone who is yes intelligent, who lives with someone who is way more involved with this issue that the average internet “normie”, and still, because of the front end UI, the simplification of it. The exact quote was “this is a space on the fediverse for me”

This is exactly what I want to see and what I've been fighting for recently. This is complicated and brand new to all of us but if people realize they're a part of something bigger than them. They would want to be part of that too!

It took 7 years for that post to get to that guy. It's gonna take some time but patience and asking alot questions is needed. (and also alot of subcommunities)

Yeah, a mastodon user can just see whats going on and even follow themselves on their as well. Its much easier to setup a lemmy account tho and use the interface than just interfacing with mastodon.

I'm picturing goofy saying this

That's the main reason I left Skype. Giving someone even your username and simply answering their call would expose your IP and be a major security liability.

Thank you so mucch!!! This honestly helped me alot with finding news. Didn't even know press.coop even existed.

spinning eggplant

I use Gentoo. It's nice and comfy and I can actually control what I want to do on there.

Insert compile firefox meme

I hope this was a mistype. :(

This generation of the internet is doomed if we let it keep going in the direction it's headed.

Keep in mind women have various options in terms of what store and type they want to get for their clothing. Meanwhile men, pick overpriced t shirt store or overpriced men's section at a brick and mortar.
