I don't expect my data to be fully deleted in a centralized system either. even if it was deleted from the central server someone might have made an archive of it

and reddit is definitely guilty of this since they were bringing back peoples deleted comments and accounts

and then if you suggest they try mastodon they won't even consider it

as a former tech support person I think the reason why its usually like that is that most of the people who call in are people don't know how to use a computer at least it was for the company I worked at

Yea I was annoyed that they were making me sign up for google+ for my youtube account so I never tried it I just set it up so I could keep using youtube.

try following hashtags

does a comment/post really need hundreds of comments saying similar things it also helps to hide spam content and trolls

Lol where did they even say they think they can run people off the internet.

You nazis are dumb as fuck.

Still though telling someone to shut up doesnt mean that you think that they will. just that you would like it if they did.

And

thinking he can shut up people off the internet

Kinda implies shutting people off of the internet but what do I know

Saying shut the fuck up doesnt equate to "im going to run you off the internet" does it?

I feel like the problem with moving away from youtube is that the larger chanels making money off of it arent going to want to move because they wont get monitized if they do. If they do move it will probably be to another corperate platform.

I really dont like what youtube is planning on doing by restricting adblockers and adding more unskippable ads though. Hopefully that moves at least some people to peertube.

does anybody else's dogs get as close to you as possible then pretend to sleep and peak at the food occasionally

Some of that is from management being strict about following the procedures we have to make sure every step is followed or we get in trouble so even if someone seems knowledgable we have to treat them like they aren't

please can youtube be next?

I really want to stop using my google account and that's the only thing keeping me from moving away from it.

You dont even need to go to a new instance you can just join another comunity on a different server

Still better than anything in my area

You remove the downvotes you juat get people more people in the comments with "you're an idiot" or whatever instead of just a downvote.

It's not like those kinds of comments are really that nuanced or helpfull either.

its still not working for posts for me It was working before so I am not sure what changed I think it does work for comments though

test

Theres a userscript that alows you to collapse the comments

I mean legaly you're right but free speech as a concept still applies to private companies they just dont have to follow it

why does it seem like people are much more hesitant to migrate websites than they were in the past?

especially for a website like reddit it's not like most people use it to interact with their friends or anybody who they might deem important.

afterall reddit became popular after digg's collapse but that's not even the only example of this
