Wow. That is a truly horrendous interview. This saga just keeps getting better. That interview is somehow the absolute worst thing he's done so far, and he's pulled a lot of shit.

The only thing more gross than Elon Musk is an Elon Musk imitator. He's just. so. angry.

You know, when you look at where the subscribers were and what the default subs were, I guess this shouldn't be surprising. There's a reason Lemmy/Kbin already feel more like "old" Reddit, and it's because that was always the "alt" social media users, generally a bit more tech savvy and certainly more open minded to new platforms. At some point Reddit filled up with Facebook and Instagram scrubs and I didn't even notice.

I was definitely a power user of Reddit, but I'm not sure I was even subscribed to a single default sub. Whoever was hitting up Reddit for r/aww and r/funny was probably never going to take a principled stand over API debates and the centralization and profit chasing administrative choices.

Just got banned from r/SteamDeck for a single non-spammy comment linking here in a thread specifically about the blackout. Good riddance.

If I can scroll and lurk from a mobile device, I'm all in. Especially if it feels good on iOS. Add everything else later :)

What I don't understand is why there are SO many missing comments when reading threads in one instance from another instance. For example, the top "Hot" post on Fedia right now is a post about community fragmentation on Lemmy. When viewed from Fedia, it has 8 comments, but when view within the source Lemmy instance, it has 40.

This is an issue I've seen in every instance on both Lemmy and KBin and it's a huge issue. One of the main reasons I joined the Beehaw instance, since it seems less affected. In fact, Beehaw shows more comments than even the NATIVE Lemmy instance, at 57!

Exactly. The issue with TikTok isn't that it's somehow inherently less trustworthy, it's that it's so aggressively algorithmic. I use it (mostly because my SO sends me comedy and pet videos), and my algorithm reflects my interests and my tolerance for bullshit, which is little to none. The misinformation on TikTok is fed to people with an appetite for it. That's dangerous, yes, but these people already had horrible media literacy, and TikTok is a platform that allows creators to prey on that, even if the algorithm is "neutral."

iOS is the most secure platform for 99.99% of people. Custom ROMs on Android got harder and harder to deal with. De-Googlifying made life so difficult. I finally gave up and jumped to iOS and knowing that I'll have day one updates for 5+ years on any phone is such a relief.

Everything is backed up, E2EE, and just easy. I used to think about smartphones all the time... Now I hardly ever do.

Or just get it here... r/piracy was always precariously close to getting banned anyway. I'd be shocked if it didn't get banned before IPO.

I like it today. Depends on how judicious mods are with bans. If there's a genuine threat of being banned for not be(e)ing nice, it may not matter. But if these communities ever reach the size of something like Reddit, downvotes may actually have a place.

You can follow communities from the Mastodon app, but the experience will be "microblog-y" in nature. Communities are represented as users on Mastodon. So, search for @[email protected] on Mastodon. You will see all the posts in the community as "toots," and all comments as replies.

Omg this looks so good. I can't believe how quickly they went from announcement to release.

I cannot understand how Ford was so caught off guard by Maverick demand, after decades of customers saying they wanted a 90's Ford Ranger sized truck.

Well I didn't say it was more secure, I said it was the most secure for most people, which it is.

This is awesome, thank you.

I'm in, just set up a small monthly donation.

The game is absolutely amazing. It being a roguelike is really secondary. There's also decent progression, and I didn't think it was that hard, you just have to get a good loadout running. Occasionally you'll just get RNG'd within 10 minutes of a run and just start over.

Yeah, I would recommend looking up some build suggestions. You can definitely get RNG'd later, but it's way less likely to happen if you have a good build plan going after the first 10-20 minutes. If you just take whatever looks good in the moment, without considering how it fits into your overall build, you'll get screwed down the line.

Also, I missed a ton of story because I didn't die enough. So it really is an intended part of the experience.
