genuine question: do people use twitter to catch up with folks?
As much as I hate it, I still occasionally use fb to message old friends, and instagram to keep up with friends. twitter… used to be for following celebrities but i’ve gone off that since (and if i wanted to, i can do that on insta).
This is a feature, not a bug. It’s designed to wean you off using twitter.
“we’re very sorry… that we got caught. rest assured we will do everything we can to ensure… that we do this more subtly in future”.
I hope to God you wouldn’t be gleeful at me getting fired
I wouldn’t be “gleeful”, but I can definitely see why the company was within their rights to fire you.
This is like those nutbags who shut down a highway to protest the environment or something, then accuse the police of being un-environmental when they’re invariably arrested.
first of all, you lost me when you pointed to reddit.
second, they protested not just within the office, but in the personal office of one of the higher-ups. If you blockaded your CTO’s office as a means of protesting world hunger, I don’t think that would go well for you either.
I don’t think peertube will succeed in scaling because video streaming and transcoding takes so much more resources to run than lemmy, and I can’t see volunteers doing this for nothing in return in the long run.
Tens of thousands of lemmy users can be hosted on hundreds of dollars per month; I bet it’s 10x more for peertube.
For anyone who still checks reddit, Rdx.overdevs.com is an a mobile-friendly way to browse. No ads and you can still view nsfw subs. You can import a list of subs you follow, but you can’t post (which to me is a feature more than a bug).
You can’t fuck yourself
Linux: “my users spend half their time troubleshooting”
oh no, they can no longer sell a phone that’s 3 years old, how will they survive?
when i don’t use a site often, i don’t want to waste 200MB of space installing the app.
it’s fine for an app to have more functions than the website, but some companies cripple their mobile website functions just to get people to download the app so they can track user behavior more. sites that do that just make me stop using them. looking at you, tripadvisor and yelp.
I get all the hate for meta and zuck, and I agree that they would only do so for their own commercial benefit, but I don’t think we should defederate without seeing what federating means. Everyone here is instinctively panicking and running around like headless chickens without seeing what it would actually entail.
Threads is like mastodon. If federating with threads only means that threads users can participate in lemmy, I see that as an advantage for us.
If we were a mastodon instance, this conversation would be very different.
may this be better than the one on reddit, where half the posts are “you gotta break up now”!
It CAN BE amazing in certain situations. Ceo tomfoolery is what’s making generative Ai become a joke to the average user.
