Nice!
The PWA rotation issue is really annoying, happy to see this will be fixed. :)

Not fake. Just not really talked about in English, but it was mentioned in most French newspapers.
Like a lot of things, it was good at first. Then they made it shitty.
I had small ads that I barely noticed, no need for any crypto account, and it gave me 5~10€/month to automatically send to Wikipedia (or any website I felt like paying).
Now that crypto account is mandatory it's just useless...
I still use it on a few devices but mainly because I'm too lazy to replace it by something else.
I made some comment that I couldn't see for an hour.
Also had multiple 503 errors today so it might just be that the server is overloaded and can't procesd things correctly right now.
Clicking on "boost" again should remove the boost. At least that works for me.
I'm not sure it's ok in the GDPR rules?
That would probably be related to "right to erasure".
But even this has limits, since sometimes the data can be necessary for a service (for example, you might be unable to get invoice data erased before X years, as a legal requirement)
Since messages on forums can be considered "needed" to understand a thread, it's usually advised to make all messages anonymous if a user requests complete deletion.
I guess here it's a little different, since the messages were removed by users, so it's not a gdpr request. Not sure how it works in that case.
Other issue is if the messages themselves contain personal information... Someone going through my old reddit profile could probably figure out my identity since I mentioned one of my (very uncommon) previous job a few times.
Best way to figure out how it works here would probably be to contact the gdpr authority for your country... And they might have trouble with it too.
It was changed recently, now upvote works similar to lemmy/reddit (but also adds things to your favourites)
Boost is more for the microblogging side of kbin, it's like a retweet. (also adds more reputation points but that's not really useful for anything right now)
Completely depends on the country
Yes but this thread is about something happening in France, so I wasn't talking about US laws...
Firefox doesn't have this problem,only chromium browsers.
For now I use it to save things, since there is no save function.
So it could probably be replaced by that.
But I think it's also here for compatibility with Mastodon...
Chip shortage really hit them hard... At some point I even had a Firefox extension that would send me a notification when they were available somewhere.
It's supposed to get better by the end of the year though.
Same, it looks like it was just fixed.
Harder to block ads and tracking on an app.
Also, last time I tried it, you couldn't use the app without being logged in, so they get more data on you than if you were able to browse anonymously.
If you get arrested during a protest, they can force you to unlock the phone (it can be a felony to refuse) , so better not to bring it at all.
Currently :
"Boost" adds reputation. It's a kind of retweet.
"Downvote" removes reputation
"Upvote" does nothing. (edit : for reputation)
This is because previously the upvote was boost, they were switched around to be similar to other fediverse systems.
Dev mentioned in another thread that the reputation system should be changed to have up/down count instead of boost/down. But they have a lot to do right now so it might not be the most pressing issue...
