If something is purged by an admin, I think there’d be “removed by Reddit” in the title instead of just a typical deletion message. Surely the moderators know something: either they’re aware Reddit is moderating things like it’s them, or they’re actively removing things they know the admin wants them to based on some hidden directive. Either way, they’d be some level of being either consciously or unconsciously complicit.

I’ve also got reason to suspect moderators have their own political interests, although it might be a while before I can comment further on that.

(Edit: Thankfully, the admin announcemeny comes up if I sort by hot + local.)

I’m planning on switching servers this weekend. If only there were one that was really good I could switch to…

To be fair, you also struggle telling the difference between things that are down and things scheduled to be down.

If you want deleted posts to have accessible comment sections after they’ve been deleted… Talk to the Lemmy developers!

I’m not sure, sadly. I tried a bunch of different things but I’m not really a photographer, which is why I’m most interested in a camera that has a decent auto mode first and foremost

While I looked for information, I did discover this webpage describing issues, though, and it sent me down a Lumix DMC-Z___ rabbithole, though. On paper, at least, they look promising. GPS, macro, allegedly good low light, a lot of optical image stabilization?

I’m looking at the Pen E PL10 now, which looks reasonably priced, if that’s the kind of thing you think would be good. Or better.

See my other reply for my camera woes - I don’t know much of anything about sensor sizes, this is true, but after seeing a digital camera struggle in low or even slightly lower lighting conditions I (think I) want to let in as much light as possible. I’m still not sure how my phone manages to make my photos in the same conditions not look blurry, by some unholy combination of pixel binning, catching light coming back around behind the sensor, AI upscaling, and f incredible optical image stabilization. - Downsides aside, I did notice the digital camera does some interesting depth of field stuff that my phone camera struggles to replicate. Somehow the pictures look more three-dimensional.

I did try one of these, but I noticed that I would end up moving the camera enough for a visible “shake” effect in most pictures I took. And this was outdoors in open areas with plenty of daylight.

Macro photos on it are great, though, and the working GPS was lovely. Shame about not having luck with most else on it. I have no idea how my phone manages to make things look better

Is there a such thing as a recent PEN from OM or Olympus (I’ve actually looked at their stuff, but I’m somewhat confused about which name their cameras get)? I was leaning in their direction, too - I saw tried their camera with a GPS and great macro photography, but I think its sensor is smaller than my phone’s.

(FWIW the OM-D relies on a smartphone for GPS tagging apparently, and I have no idea how that’s handled with an app, especially because the data handoff is whar I’m trying to avoid)

And miss this?

But you see, it was I who was unclear…

I think if you tap on your comment and attempt to edit it, some clients let you access what you wrote before it got removed.

Can’t you edit your removed comment to see what the contents were?

OpenStreetMaps has had decent Android clients, I can’t speak to the state of iOS ones though. If you can pinpoint your destination before departing to it, that’d probably serve you best…

But Google Maps has been hard for me to abandon too

You claim to hate the carnivore community, and yet you’re here posting your beef… Curious

Firefox exists in name as a thin wrapper over the Apple iOS WebKit engine. I personally don’t think that counts, although it’s arguable I guess.

There is no Tor Browser for iOS. There is an alternative, but it is notably hacky and flawed, due to iOS itself. The app also originally cost money in an attempt to recoup Apple’s developer licensing costs, before becoming free in 2017.

(IMO, this paints a picture of antagonism between Apple vs its users having nice things in general.)

AltStore (classic) is something I’ve tried, but it’s incredibly janky and painfully limited and, last I checked, kinda costs money every month. ?AltStore PAL operates only in Europe and at the express allowance of Apple itself.)

Again the antagonism of Apple against the iOS user rears its ugly head:

Apps installed with AltStore expire after 7 days, at which point they can no longer be opened…

Due to restrictions by Apple, you can only have 3 sideloaded apps installed on a device at a time.

And the file system with Apple iOS is not something I have a lot of experience with, but my expectations are below sea level…

If you’re expecting anything remotely like an Android experience on Apple’s devices, you’re going to have a horrible time. Anything even vaguely resembling your own file system, or non-Apple browsing engine, or alternative app store is basically nonexistent. And the way Apple squeezes indie developers means you’ve got less choice between decent apps even if you look on their store.

Among other missing apps, you get no Syncthing, no Firefox, no Tor Browser, nothing remotely like F-Droid or Obtainium…

… And as far as I can tell, there’s no such thing as an alternative to the Apple App Store (which mandates an identity and a signin), which isn’t also run by Apple…

Has anyone ever managed to sideload a browser that isn’t just Apple Safari with another skin?

This is interesting, how do you see these?

Is this the case of bad code getting added to Shelter, or is it more likely that Android has broken older APIs?

Thank you for letting me know regardless, as I’ve been having some significant issues transferring anything between profiles with Shelter on Samsung devices.

Some acronyms you might see.

• PTB - Power-Tripping Bastard: The commenter agrees with you this was a PTB mod.

• YDI - You Deserved It: The commenter thinks you deserved that mod action.

• YDM new - You Deserved More: The commenter thinks you got off too lightly.

• BPR - Bait-Provoked Reaction: That mod probably overreacted in charged situation, or due to being baited.

• CLM - Clueless Mod: The mod probably just doesn’t understand how their software works.
