Literally why

They already have Truth Social and Twitter.

The PC gaming community alone would kill this plan. Data caps make game steaming for long periods untenable and Valve has explicitly been focusing on Linux and Proton for the last decade to try and prepare for Microsoft doing something like this. Apple just released their game conversion toolkit or whatever that shows promise for (relatively) quick and easy ports of Windows games to M2 Macs. Having a streaming connection to play games would be laughable to anyone in the eSports community and would immediately result in companies abandoning Windows.

“But you don’t understand! They are the bad guys!”

Y’know, that’s the funny thing. I live in the U.S., and all the people losing their rights seem to be the good ones that are nonviolent and just wish to live their lives.

The machine has already done it’s prediction and the contents of box B has already been set. Which box/boxes do you take?

If my choices don’t matter and the boxes are predetermined, what point is there to only taking one box? The machine already made its choice and filled the boxes, so taking both boxes is always the correct answer. Either I get $1,000,000 if the machine thought I would take both, or I get $1,001,000,000 if it didn’t. This is a false dilemma, there is never a reason to take just one box.

I have noticed this as well. I’ve made a few excursions back to reddit since it keeps loading old comments I haven’t yet mass-deleted to my profile page, and on the two trips where I didn’t immediately close the browser afterwards, both times I clicked on a thread and immediately saw some inflammatory bait, got a little annoyed, and then remembered “wait, I don’t browse this shithole anymore” and came on back.

I’m not perfect, not even close, but I’m definitely trying to check how I say things while I’m here because I want it to stay this was for as long as possible.

I dunno, we’ve had some trash get popular over the years, but I kinda enjoy the “absurd surrealism” meme culture we’ve got now where nobody bats an eye at hearing the phrase “shadow money wizard gang,” which is in fact a real thing.

Presumably because everyone else just wants reddit but less shit. If spez hadn’t decided to go insane and tank the usability of the site, yeah, I’d still be there. Fact of the matter is that reddit still has a bunch of content I want to see, but doesn’t exist over here.

Gonna wait a bit because I wanna make sure there aren’t any crazy unforeseen side effects on humans, but this is a tremendous step forward for several environmental and ecological problems and I’m ready for a minimal-kill future.

They have a definition, they just won’t tell the users because it’s not a realistic definition and they plan to pull the rug out later on.

If third-party apps were only 3% of total traffic and reddit was willing to destroy its image and massively increase the viability of its only competitor just before IPO over it, I’m sure they’ll have no problem getting rid of whatever percentage of blind people who can’t see the ads reddit wants to serve anyway.

You’re safe from the big bad scary communists on Lemmy.

Kbin.social doesn’t defederate lemmy.ml, so either way we’re playing by their “don’t say Uyghur genocide because we don’t think it’s real and we will ban you based on that belief” rules if we accidentally stumble into there.

This is where I would like to see individual-level instance blocking so that it doesn’t show up in the home feed, same as how I can block everything that pops up in a language I don’t speak.

Edit: Turns out we have that! Just found another thread showing how. On kbin, it’s possible to view entire instances separately, and there’s a “block” button similar to individual magazines/communities/users. To see lemmy.ml, the link would be

https://kbin.social/d/lemmy.ml

but replacing the lemmy.ml part with any instance should take people to that instance just the same.

That’s what I’m hoping for. I don’t want a bunch of accounts depending on what device I’m using, I want to have one account on a platform that I like and have good interfaces for using it.

That’s why I left reddit, they removed my ability to do that by killing Boost.

See, it’s all this stuff that really makes the

Such slander doesn’t deserve any response

statement feel very Steve Huffman to me. It very clearly does deserve a response because the problem doesn’t end with just saying “nope lol that’s not us” and people like me have to go digging through all this bullshit just to figure out the facts: they believe anti-China news and similar is U.S./media propaganda and will moderate opposing viewpoints with “Orientalism” bans and similar. That’s not a hard statement to type, and if this viewpoint is in good faith then I struggle to see why they refuse to just say that and consistently resort to “if you don’t like our moderation policy feel free to join/start a different instance!” without ever actually clarifying the moderation policy. Even lemmygrad pretty much says outright “if you like capitalism, fuck off.”
