The last few releases of Jerboa have been atrocious. It’s currently crashing when backing out of activities, voting, or commenting. I tried Thunder but the UI is extremely confusing for me.

You’re right about advertising, but they also are a legal target. Any platform that has sex related content on it will eventually feel pressure from their country’s government. It just takes one incident and

I reckon platforms see them as a burden due to the volume of regulation that they inevitably become saddled with, or face penalties. Hence why tumblr rolled the dice on removing it all, Reddit is restricting ease of access, and Pornhub purged most of its content.

I’m interested to see how the Fediverse will handle it when it eventually comes this way.

Another Podcast Addict user here. But I don’t think they pay the Podcasters anything if that’s your concern. If you’re listening to Joe Rogan, don’t pay him a penny. Pirate the shit out of his podcasts. But maybe you should consider giving to Patreon if you don’t already. They take a cut but at least you know its going to the podcaster.

Also you really should know that Tidal isn’t paying anyone any better, no platform is. They’re all beholden to rights holders, and that is mostly record labels and their parent companies. No platform pays per stream, that’s a myth. Spotify just distributes all the money left after their 30%. Blame the labels for making audio so unprofitable and for the average listener for treating music and podcasts as disposable,

Before you think I’m defending spotify, I’m not. They tried to make an unprofitable product profitable and they did it by selling out to record labels. Spotify could have made them irrelevant but chose not to.

It’s the first meta joke this place has had. Someone asked how not to shit for 3 days and for some reason it made its way around the site.

Seems like we’re all still redditors at heart after all lmao

Twitter and Reddit have really thrown the idea that the “elite” are somehow smarter or more competent into disrepute. They are literally just ideologues.

Actually it’s not as easy as yout make it sound.

If you Google “Lemmy” you get images of the guy from motorhead. I’ve even done site searches with specific instances and a lot don’t show up at all. Beehaw, sh.it, and kbin.social were very difficult to find with Google.

I use Bitwarden for both passwords and TOTP. So much easier than messing around with multiple apps.

Either you are misguided or you know what you want to say would be considered bigotry and expect to have your voice heard by everyone.

Trans people don’t need to “think critically” about why they disagree with anti-trans comments. It’s not “healthy” for trans people to be constantly reminded that there’s a % of the population that want them gone. It’s not ignorance, it’s a done debate. It’s a waste to debate people who’s aim is to open the dialogue up to extremist viewpoints.

Not a lot much else going on here, sadly.

Since things are new here, it might be a good idea to let people know what they are getting into for moderation duties.

It would be good to have some info to hand, like what mod tools are available, what kind of sitewide rules they must follow, what kind of community rules they can enforce, etc.

Oh no! I’m gonna have to read man pages

Not sure I agree that it’s “cruel” but it is definitely heavy-handed. It’s really just a way of enforcing the “lurk more” attitude of old forums at scale.

Telling 20 new accounts each day to read a few posts before making their own gets old fast. It also prevents harassment from day-old troll accounts. It’s not perfect but it is a better solution than doing nothing at all.

Accounts were never shadowbanned for year long periods. I remade my accounts multiple times and never had to wait more than a few weeks before being fully active, minus a few niche subs with oddly strict rules.

I’d be interested in a response to this (that isn’t “hurr durr just wank bro”) because I don’t want it in my feed but that goes against the whole “no curated feed” philosophy.

I agree with this. Context is important and it should be clear.

Not gonna lie, I’ve just had a look at the feed just now and it’s becoming noisy. It would be nice to not have to sift through so much chaff to find wheat.

I know there’s strong feelings about curated feeds around here but it should be up to the user to decide what they see for the most part. At least, they should be able to decide what they don’t see.
