Great work mate ♥️

Always good to see more people looking into platforms besides Twitter, plenty of great places out there

I thought the selling point behind most Twitter like services is that it’s focused on negative positioning. E.g. things that are negative focused get more attention and engagement

Yeah that’s the most brazen part. They’re more than happy to pull in a dozen set of fees, but cry when they have to clearly list them so people aren’t taken advantage of. This is the type of rubbish that the “free market” produces and why there needs to be some level of government oversight.

I think the end conclusion wasn’t great. He said

It wouldn’t matter if it dropped 20 degrees

It absolutely would matter. Just like how a 4090 costs an absurdly high amount but people will still buy it. For the right person getting 20 degrees knocked off might be worthwhile regardless of how expensive it is.

The critiques that Steve laid out in this video were perfectly fine, highlighting the shortcomings of LMG when it comes to actually reviewing content (which is what they’re pivoting to, away from 100% entertainment content). A typical Linus arrogant take where he’ll learn nothing.

Cheers for the tool mate

I’ve used vanced for years and revanced for easily 6 months. I haven’t heard of anyone getting banned since it uses MicroG for the login, but there could be a part of the TOS everyone signed that says you can’t use your account to bypass their “rules”, so it could be a technical violation 🤷‍♂️

That’s a fair take also. Plenty of YouTubers have said they get decent money from people who watch their content from premium members. They’re never really transparent with how much (compared to a normal user view) these views are giving them, but that’s fine.

Revanced is great. I wish it could let me bypass some of the inbuilt limits like not being able to download videos, but that’s a small price to pay for removing like 99 of the ads

It’s a good option for when you want to follow every instance and not be beholden to the server admin randomly de-federating an instance they don’t agree with personally (which was one one of the issues Reddit faced, mods with their own agenda)

If you run your own instance you can choose exactly what you get to interact with

The sentiment feels on point however, that this users experience with Firefox has been poor and issues flagged have not resolved in an eternity. I’ve definitely felt similar exhaustion with other systems.

PayPal can just up and freeze your account at any moment, keeping all of your money locked away. I’ve read of several ebay sellers who’ve used PayPal before and ran into Issues when trying to withdraw. If I wouldn’t trust them with regular payments, why would they be anymore appealing as a crypto coin?

Coming up as 35 / 0 for me. Strange that none of the downvotes are coming into kbin

Seen plenty of people calling for the de-federation ban-hammer whenever they find comment they like. There’s fine line between having an open space and an echo chamber and if it were up to these people we’d federate with no one

At least on modern Android you can long press on most text and get that little zoomed in indicator (so you can more easily adjust the selection)

I remember that being stuck in iOS limbo for years, glad we have that but yeah it’s not super consistent right now copying

At the end of the day I’d argue that the majority of people want a “Reddit like” experience, with dozens or posts with heaps of engagement. I’m happy to have news / repost bots if the end result is a more engaging comment thread / discussion.

When looking at older Reddit posts, I never enjoyed the comments where the discussion was OP focused. I’m keen to have them phrase the original question / link and then step back and let the discussion naturally form

It’s mostly a multi-tweet long religious rant. The overall content itself isn’t important, the main point being that they’re not interested in any actual debate, they just want to dump their opinions out there and position it as fact.

These types of tyraids are a pretty good example of what I mean

Either someones personal opinion, a hot take based on their own perspective or something similar. There’s plenty of discourse that could happen here but these people just want their own echo chamber

It’s one of the newest D&D like games out there, so UI wise it’s probably one of the best to start on. But there are other similar games (e.g. Pathfinder Kingmaker / Pathfinder Wrath of the righteous) that I’d start on first.

Both of those last two we’re a great overall introduction into what TRPGs can be like
