My childhood innocence has been restored! Lmao
You’re telling me it’s “shifting” and not “slipping”???
All my hours watching Space Jam was a lie
I remember using Sync, but it didn’t really stick for me. If it’s the one I’m thinking of, it’s like Relay but slightly worse?
Ooh Sync is another one I enjoyed! I swear I bought every large 3rd party app to try out fully. Google Pay Rewards, thank you. Lol
Yeah I’m not entirely well-versed in the implications of what that would allow, but it’s another use-case that would be cool to see!
That’s…actually a cool AF idea/inplementation of Fediverse shit. A practical use as well, as they’d control who was on the instance and would be a sorta pseudo-verification process for any accounts on it’s own.
I’m a Boost truther. I loved Boost for Reddit, and the dev is usually super responsive in the subreddit when it was a thing. I also used many Reddit apps; BaconReader, Relay, and Apollo on iPhone back when I had one. Boost was easy favorite. I’m not entirely sure how it plays with every lemmy instance though, as I’m just on .world
Sounds decent enough! I am not hardcore against ads; I know platforms and publications need to pay somehow. If they’re non-intrusive, I don’t mind seeing them. Thanks for the info!
That’s kind of what I was worried about, was if it was algorithm based, and if it was, how bad is it pushing content vs showing me what I would be interested in. RSS feeds may be difficult cause I never really committed to any specific publications or sites, so I wouldn’t have any specific ones to populate the feed.
Haven’t gotten to that point yet; I’ve followed/unfollowed a few just due to general spam or some pretty clear biases (whether I agree with them or not).
Ty! Will have to look into it some! My problem is I don’t have any specific preferred news sites already so I guess I’ll be just spamming big ones til it gets sorted out a bit? I’d also like to keep it as balanced as possible, if not just to be prepared for potential points of conflict to be knowledgeable on.
How do people like Flipboard? I need to find something to get news now that I’m off Reddit. Is it pretty decent at giving different perspectives in articles or is it pretty much algorithm based on what you’ll prefer?
That’s what I’m doing. I got 2 subs that I frequented on Reddit I’m running, one is a sports one with discussions for the events, and it’s literally just me putting commentary into it. But that’s what I loved about the Reddit sports subs, so I’ll at least have it for when people come here.
See, that was my take on it, but I have noticed a shift, somewhat recently. I check /popular every now and then just to see what’s happening around the internet, and they’d always pop up. It’s gotten distinctly more “accepting” of taxation and stuff. I literally thought this yesterday, like “am I crazy or has it flipped a bit”.
I wouldn’t quote me on sub narratives, my browsing is sporadic at best, but that’s what I’m remembering.
I don’t get it. I modded one community with about 30k users, maybe 5% of which was active. The only thing I ever did for years was remove obvious reposts by bots and sticky weekly discussion threads. Communities normally police themselves decently well. Past a critical mass, I’m sure it gets a it harder but unless it’s a personal attack or completely unrelated, let people vote shit down.
I also don’t know why you’d want to be a mod of 45 subs with millions of users each. Shits shady AF.
I didn’t post any useful information, all I did was shit post during college sports game threads. Just lemme be spiteful against Reddit lol
Was the reply button the biggest previously? I never installed the official app so I don’t know how it was previously set up
Kinda par for the course for Reddit. There was like a whole thing a while back about how they were monetizing the site, selling off data, etc. Anyone who stayed should expect this and more.
Would also be crazy if they allowed 3rd party apps that let you change how you interacted with comments. I think I had one that was swipe reply, so I didn’t have to tap anything at all. Whatcha get staying in a clearly money hungry platform I guess lol.
That might be my disconnect with the UI change, cause I wasn’t tapping anything to interact with comments, I was only doing that to do formatting, etc, and didn’t have that muscle memory. I do still think it’s a bit “damned if you do, damned if you don’t” in terms of where they’re going to put it, but again, that’s to be expected from that company at this point.
You’re right. It makes a difference that they moved it one spot to the left vs one spot to the right. If they had kept it second from the left, there would be no one upset about it.
Except the headline would likely be “they moved the dropdown button to put the award button in its place”.
I’m not arguing that they added it in the first place. But given that there is an award button, where is the acceptable place to put it on the UI?
This is the stupid part. I left and didn’t go back. I still end up there searching the odd problem online, but I don’t necessarily need it. The one sub I modded, when I was last checking, has had quite a bit of spam and self-promotion “watch my new YouTube video” shit going on. I wasn’t the only one doing anything on the team, as it was like 30k+ members, but it was alow traffic sub. But they don’t do the weekly discussion threads, the repost bots were rampant.
All to make more money. I don’t know why people stayed. All that huffing and puffing, just to cower and fold.
