So you’re saying you don’t want insightful, thoughtful comments from u/rimjob_steve this time around?

Considering Meta mines as much data from as many people as possible just to advertise to them and also they can’t even launch Threads in the EU right now because of how aggressively it tracks literally everything about their users and Threads’ only purpose is to gather more data to sell to more people, I think that alone is worth not letting them play.

I gotta say, sometimes I miss my fully customized LED on my blackberry back in the day. It could be in the bottom of a gym bag and I’d still know if I missed a Google Talk message (green) or a Facebook alert (dark blue) or an email (light blue), etc etc etc.

If they could integrate that development into making Siri better, that’d be great.

I’ve been beta testing since day one - which was only 22 days ago. It’s amazing how great this app has gotten in such a short time.

I mean, did anyone think it wasn’t basically spyware?

You’re awesome, and I hope you sleep at some point, haha.

Memmy’s on the App Store now. It does still have a TestFlight if there are any spots available but the app store’s version is currently up to date.

June 10 I think was when Gavin first posted screenshots and videos.

Yeah, it’s been less than a month.

It’s because a lot of people migrating from Reddit landed on .world and created or found their familiar named communities and that’s how it was on Reddit - US centric top level type communities.

Is .world the best place for US centric communities? Maybe not just based on nomenclature but since you asked why, that’s the reasoning. It’s in the description of Politics specifically (it even calls out migrating Redditors).

I love how you say ‘almost every app’ and then your three examples include two Meta apps and also Twitter. Their whole business models are to gather as much as possible to sell.

Not every app needs your health data, financial information, and usage data to send short messages to their friends. I get wanting a certain amount of data in order to do certain things but needing basically everything possible frankly SHOULD BE eye opening to people if they didn’t already know.

Didn’t you just question the decision to defederate from exploding-heads a week ago when the users there were posting racism, hatefulness, bigoted speech, etc?

If you didn’t like that defederation, why do you want another defederation? Sounds hypocritical.

The ads are real bad if you don’t pay to not see them, and trending is dumb, but the most egregious thing is that you can’t sort your Home feed. It is stuck to “best” and the algorithm is terrible.

It used to have the ability to sort, but they removed it at some point, I’m not sure when because I had been using Apollo for years.

I took a look at the last iteration of Alien Blue (which can still be downloaded if you had it at some point but you can’t log into it anymore) and that 2014 app is still better.

It just makes me sad.

They’ll probably get mad that people can take their ball and go home by going to another instance without ads and signing away access to all of their personal data but get the same content. If they defederate, to me that’s the trash taking itself out.

Long press on your username in bottom center.

It’s currently broken. There is a way to set it in settings, it’s just not remembering it right now.

I’ve also tried several betas and Memmy has been my personal favorite since nearly day one (first build didn’t have dark mode, haha, but like 12 hours later there was a second build with dark mode and I’ve been here ever since). And the devs are amazing.

This is an exciting time. I know the fediverse has been around for a while but it still feels like getting on the ground floor of something both brand new and also harkening back to the old internet. It’s awesome.

I agree that the ability to dismiss the keyboard easier would probably be handy, like if you just scroll down in your subscriptions it dismisses or something.

I never thought the leopards would eat MY face.
