Every platform wants to be every other platform nowadays

Defederation is an important tool to protect communities. It helps prevent the Fediverse from being overrun with bad actors.

Or just stealing someone’s phone, doing whatever they want to do, toss it in a river, and not have anything traced back to them

You’re talking about the AI that provides accurate-sounding results but can’t fact-check and is also used to generate the kind of spam that’s constantly being pushed by search engines, right?

That reminds me, i haven’t gotten around to deleting my Reddit account yet. What should I use to delete all my posts/comments on there while I’m at it? I did get the data from my GDPR request

“I’m crossing the road” seems particularly effective

Nope. I grew up gaming and can’t stand dark modes

Dark themes aren’t easy on the eyes. It’s preferred when you’re looking at a screen in a dark room, but you shouldn’t be doing that anyway. When I have to look at a dark theme, I find myself squinting and straining my eyes. Light themes just look better too. Better to save your battery by lowering the brightness of your screen.

Is connection between that instance and kbin working again?

DuckDuckGo even has an onion URL

In fact, defederating can ensure communities can continue to exist in their own spaces without being harassed or being subject to bigotry

The problem with iHeartRadio is that they own way too many radio channels

I don’t think they truly realize why “problem people” are so rare

Repetitive low-effort posts and comments were common on Reddit

The video player was never any good either

Twitter used to have a ton. I used to use one for Twitch myself but it doesn’t work anymore. I browse YouTube exclusively through a 3rd-party app that supports several other sites as well. 3rd-party social media site apps being rare is a new phenomenon

Agreed. I’ve had to accept that the Reddit I used to use and still somewhat miss is gone.

On a Sunday?

Ellen Pao was thrown under the bus

After using RSS feeds for a while on my phone, I switched to using them exclusively on my laptop. Having them on something not as easy to whip out as my phone makes me less inclined to compulsively check them.
