Why would we complain if the zucc decides to not federate at all?
Why would we complain if the zucc decides to not federate at all?
Also the ones who post 10 or more things at the same time in their community every half a day or something and fill the fucking local feed all the day
I miss r/doguelore and r/quiereslore
I’m not missing anything, OP complained about people not easily ditching closed/centralized software and I gave an answer.
I know devs are doing it as a hobby or with donations, that’s on them and they know who their target will be and how much effort is it worth to do it user-friendly or not or how big of a scope they aim for.
We’re talking about the normal user and why they decide to stick to centralized or move to FOSS and why it’s so hard for them to do it.
Yes and no, most of the free/open software has the problem of being very not-user-friendly (even if it’s only for the first time set-up) and the documentation (even the youtube tutorials) are written in a “you should know all this already” way, which is cool if you do, but if this is the first time you are doing this or if it’s the only time you are gonna use that knowledge then it’s absurd to expected someone to learn it only for one time.
It is normal for someone to complain that the thing that steals all their data or needs a subscription is better because it’s easier to use (install, pay/register and use, done), compared with how different and difficult usually it’s to install and get to work a FOSS option (download this, install these, run command lines, configure all these, now get all these plugins, etc).
If we want bigger numbers, then it should be at least as easy as the thing we want them to stop using, otherwise we are barking at the wrong tree.
They still don’t sell it at my country

Nah, the iphone is also overhypped and overpriced
Honestly I don’t care about stories, but I hope that encourages my friends to pay attention to it.
Hard disagree, I keep seeing the same news/posts inside and outside Beehaw in other instances that have their own community, sometimes they even have the same name.
Or am I looking at this backwards, and they want their gated garden, absent of slugs?
You could say that, they have said more than once that they want their instance to be their safe-space, which is cool and all, if their users are all up on defederating at the fall of a leaf along with the mods that’s cool, the “problematic” part are the users that join that instance because it’s big but don’t expect them to be like that, because then they have to drop that account and create another in a different instance.
But I’ve said it more than once, until we get migration tools think of your account as disposable or prepare to keep multiple accounts to juggle servers.
That said, I think they would be happier using a forum-like server instead of the fediverse because they seem like the kind of instance to end up isolating themselves.
I still hate websites watermarks, creators watermarks are ok (like comics or art)
I’ve noticed they post a lot of asians and slim/flat women, then the other extreme of posting fat ones. I like thicc and curvy, but I don’t mean fat so I haven’t found a community for me.
Hopefully some time in the future.
Yet people are going to keep using it and sharing it as it that’s acceptable
It isn’t about keeping it alive or improving the game, it’s about milking the idiots who keep shelling out money and defending battlepasses + mtx, once the money runs out they’ll just kill it and move on.
That seems very contradictory to me if it’s true, but I’m still trying to make sense of it, so maybe there’s something I’m missing.
Basically they are trying to keep the propaganda machine going, it won’t make sense.
Yes, absolutely. They can do whatever they want on their server, including censoring opposing political viewpoints. I can say I think that’s a bad thing to do, because to me, using control of a platform to censor your opponents’ political viewpoints is in fact very bad. I mean if they actually do support Russia and the CCP, then I guess it’s not surprising if they’re okay with censoring opposing views, but to me, it’s wrong. They can do it – people can do a lot of things – but it doesn’t mean that every thing a person can choose to do is right.
Just to be an ass: there is no absolute right or wrong, to them we are in the wrong and should submit to their ideas, to us they are wrong for trying to censor and limit discussion.
This isn’t that though. The phrase is “prior restraint.” If I go out and accuse someone of something, and it’s not true and they sue me for libel and prove me wrong and I’m punished for it, that’s consequences. If someone’s not allowing the accusation to exist in the first place, that’s not free speech with consequences, that’s someone controlling and approving beforehand what I’m allowed and not allowed to say
Oh right, then it was a phrasing problem as we agree on that.
if you did that with that amount of power, what are you going to do if you wind up later on with more power?
I mean… just look around and there are many examples and multipying.
At least for this context, it’s not so big because the users can ditch that instance and register at a different one, if they actually get extreme they’ll just get defederated or if they defederate too many instances they will isolate themselves and the server software can be forked, so there’s at least some safes in place.
They own and federate with lemmygrad, also were the owners/mods of r/comunism and the complains seem to come from way before (from those that came before the reddit blackout), it’s not sketchy or coincidential, it’s deliberated.
I don’t agree with your last statement, in the end the instance belongs to someone else and they placed rules that we agreed to follow the moment we joined.
Just like with everything else, being free to say whatever you want doesn’t mean being free of consequences.
In other comment they linked to the issue for the devs to fix/add.
Being something inspired in Reddit I was expecting to have that already, I like games but I don’t care about a lot of the trailers or games so hidding them would really help clear my feed without blocking an instance or a user (specilly when it’s the main user posting news and trailers in general, I don’t want to block them).
Seriously, hate that now people call everything a meme, they don’t even try to make it at least funny.
