I think this is going to be my main.
Has accounts on lemmy.zip, lemmy.world, fedia.io and kbin.earth with the same handle
Not sure if there is any point in just posting the guide somewhere random.
I see it as a backup so that you can post it again when if reddit deletes your post.
I personally am going to copy it somewhere else so that I can share it with those who ask in case the link goes down somehow.
IIRC MS tried to add the big Google apps on WP, especially YouTube. I only remember for YouTube’s case but google stepped in to block MS’s efforts every time they fixed something broken. Clearly fair competition.
Of course it doesn’t excuse no other apps that were mainstream are on there (or were but not supported for very long as MS stopped paying for them tp be on their platform IIRC).
I do think by WP 10 they lost the plot. WP8 was peak but alas that time the market was going all app ecosystem.
You forgot Windows Phone
I swear one of the few good things MS made is Windows Phone. I gave my mom one back then and she didn’t even need much guidance to get used to it. Hell even I like it. It’s so intuitive and beautiful aesthetics. Too bad the market was moving to siloed apps back then (and is still staying there now).
After it got lost and have to replace with an Android phone, it took some guidance from me. But it can be argued that she’s just used to WP and learning a new UX on a new OS understandably takes some learning and guidance.
Sorry I waxed lyrical about a Big Tech product in a Ubuntu post, but idk I really do feel like they did good with it.
habarnam in that screenshot has a good point. Everybody wants to be spoon fed content but not contribute the content
I’m guilty as well but I’m joining conversations where ever I feel comfortable with the topic.
2 out of 3 comments I made are not showing. A shame.
Thanks for the tip. I’ll have to check on the computer later. Either I’ll not find it because shadowban/mod deleted, or the dreaded orange reply indicator.
Aw man, my 20 minutes of replying to people on that post is going to the shadowrealm 😮💨
I guess my 10 years old account is finally getting banned. A shame, I liked some people in the smaller subreddits I subbed to.
Done replying to some people and promoting Lemmy and piefed. 🫰
may be ;)
that first counter argument is the same energy as not having backups of your data. it’ll be too late and a lot harder to mobilize a new place after being banned.
actually that’s a good point I think. I’ll hop over reddit to say that and see where it goes.
I rarely comment there anymore because replies are 50/50 nice/vile and I’m just tired to gamble that odds.
I miss old reddit vibe, but that’s why I’m here.
and those that jumped to digg will surprised-pikachu.jpg as if that’s not obviously going to happen from day 0
These are words from the insane (and new redditors). No sane redditor from the early days stayed on reddit after all the big controversies happened over reddit getting bigger.
I have half a mind to go there and reply reddit numbers back when digg was the place to go was also shit.
While history rhymes, reddit did cook the frogs slower than old digg did, so while there were mass migrations already, reddit still have massive non bots.
hopefully reddit pushes more dumb bots and AI to make the people leave reddit and let it die being artificial thru and thru.
Same for me. Recently changed phones and used Ironfox initially. But with issues like you described I had to change to at least Fennec. I’ve had loading issues and theming issues with Waterfox; same with Ironfox when I think about it. 🤔
It makes shareholders feel a simulacra of emotion for a brief moment.
[bluesky] is already engaging in Blue Checks™
Isn’t this good, to make sure whoever the account is, is the genuine person? Or is it bad because the arbiter of said genuineness is bluesky, and I assume there’s a payment for it?
the unfortunate event of lemm.ee shutting down lead to a lot of new instances adopting piefed. the dev team said this lead to a lot more feedback that drives development.
I’m so onboard with this.
the all-or-nothing folks just grinds my gears. they’re here too lol, just different flavors.
Probably bots lol
As if reddit isn’t dead enough
Last I recalled reading about it, it’s “we allow female representing nipples”.
