These are the privacy permissions that you grant for Meta's new twitter competitor
Isn't that just...everything?
Like is there anything they aren't requesting?

Almost like glorification of any economic system is bad, rather than using them for their actual purposes.
People keep trying to use these systems forgetting human greed exists and will continue to exist

What value did you get from Reddit that you hope to realize or expand upon here?
Mainly news. Not just world/region but hobby news.
So far just the world/region news is here, which aren't particularly great discussions if you're trying not to get hotheaded.

Until capitalism gets so large and unregulated that they can fund and control the government, which is what led to many of those "winner" picks that you describe.
It gets messed up both ways. We have many industries that are degrading because they've reached the limits of what they can innovate and instead are trying to find corners they can cut anywhere they can, while having the clout to get away with it.

You can take a provable fact and get THIS reaction from someone who is incapable of thinking for themselves
Isn't this essentially a red herring?
Yes, it is a true fact, but it's ignoring 200 years of history, much of with has nothing to do with the economic model.
Plus most arguments are made in regards to more recent changes in lifestyle, where the same amount of wealth isn't providing the same amount of reward.
Hell 200 years ago is also ignoring The Great Depression, which was certainly not a good time for capitalism (or well, anyone)

Let's leave [proprietary] Discord too
I only ever joined Discord for friends. Leaving would mean losing all friends, not even a select bunch. They're not moving and while some may care that it's upsetting, it's a collective bunch that needs convincing. Friends of friends of friends. People aren't jumping ship for one person to also not have their other friends not jump ship.
Reddit is a community but doesn't have the more casual chat that friends use (well they have it now, but it was never good).
Discord pretty much has to burn bridges like Reddit did before anyone moves.

I'd argue a mix of policies is the best outcome. Despite the praise of Capitalism, every modern country employs both capitalist and socialist policies.
Idolizing these structures is problematic because unregulated they tend to spiral out of control, since at the end of the day they're man-made economic policies, and self-regulation isn't something most people do easily without consequence.

Reddit broke today: Looks like it doesn't like dark subs
Reply in thread
undefined> EDIT: based on my ratio im not sure I want to continue on this site lmao, I have a feeling its just going to turn into another Voat if this shit keeps up
...Or the people on r/antiwork are here as well and downvoted you for a very bias post to their members?
Like what did you think would happen? This would happen on Reddit as well unless you were on a subreddit that specifically supported your stance.

Reddit has removed any mention of the protest from the front page
Reply in thread
To be fair, if people are properly protesting, the only people who would be checking reddit to respond to that thread are
People who don't know
People who didn't agree with it
I wouldn't even know the thread exists because I haven't had reddit open on any tabs.
edit: will say there could be exceptions to that, but that's just the general idea

How’s everyone liking this so far?
I think it's kindof hard to find topics, because even if you set a filter the auto refresh ignores the filter. Still waiting for communities to pop up that match tastes.

If I recall, a minimum karma was used by some mod bots as a gatekeep of sorts on more official subreddits. But even then I don't think it was more than to deter very new accounts.

how to block meta from mastodon
Reply in thread
Except Meta by it's nature will aim towards Centralization. They're contradictive to the concept. It doesn't even take much thought to see the issue here.
Also as app_priori pointed out, Almost every instance already has a list of defederated instances.

Be a better ~~lemming~~ Motorhead
Technology is a history of users using things in ways the developer didn't consider. Honestly if it's something that isn't of value to the site, I'd imagine it should be on a report button, not a downvote button.
But you just can't convince end-users to do things the way you want. Either the system let's them do it or it doesn't. And half the time if the system lets them do it, they'll do it even if it sets fire to the system.
I don't think it's of any value to try to change user's choice of using the system, but rather embrace it and find ways to both better enable the system to use it (and perhaps curb some things you don't like about it) and then figure out what went wrong with the original intent and try to reimplement that.

Have you watched Nanashi Mumei's Hologra debut yet?
It was one of my favorites personally. It's very fun when she starts to get angry and it devolves into silliness and miscommunication.
I also felt like her VA-work sounded very natural for a hologra debut

Welcome to the Hololive community!
Not sure if there is some way to keep up with the news cover would give out on other sites, but it would be nice to have.
Though if you know a good site for that too I would appreciate it.

Who's Your Oshi?
Not sure. I want to say Mumei at the moment, but I've found that for a lot of members I tend to have a harder time keeping up when they stream less.
I started watching Gura and while I love her music, it became just about the only content she does now, with the game streams few and far between for the past few months.
Ame similarly watched a lot of her game streams, but lately it's been a lot of Karaoke and tech streams.
Kindof like Mumei with a balance of the two, in that she has really good singing streams, and her zatsu's are creative mainly for her random RP quirks. It was entertaining seeing her take the moom and rolling with it to the point the original meme doesn't even come up anymore, and also getting everyone to go along with her "Kyu" phase.
I think the main issue is just I don't know what happens when the busy becomes busy, because then I have a lot of time that becomes difficult to fill, and for the most part it makes me fill it with vtubers I really enjoy watching, but couldn't say Oshi.
I've been watching a lot of Fauna recently, who shares time slots with Ame, but I also don't listen to ASMR at all.
So kindof all over the place at the moment. And I still love all of the people i've talked about and watch their streams all the time. Just hard to find one to call OshiI guess.

It's a bit annoying because even if you set it to "top posts" or any of the sorts, the automatic refresh makes it irrelevant. if I need to step away, i come back and none of the posts are top posts.
edit: I think the refresh moved the posts because this isn't even the one I was trying to post in....
edit2: No it's open on this thread as well as the other...is the main page showing sub-threads as well??

Tomorrow many subreddits will open up again, will you switch back to Reddit or stay on Lemmy (or use both)
I'll probably give it at least a week, see how things are, and decide from there.
Even then if I do go back probably cut activity to the things that just aren't available elsewhere at the moment.

Not if their communities and friends leave for threads.net because by the time the defederate occurs most of the communities either are on threads.net or have threads.net equivilants.
You can't have a community without the community part of it.

Redundant communities across instances
Reply in thread
can't you login to lemmy.world, then go join communities on gamingfocus.xyz and still be logged in?
That seems to be how it works for me if I go to communities on the beehaw.org instance. You just change the community search from local to all.
