Uhhh??? Based???
All photos I post are OC.

This argument keeps coming up and yet there has yet to be a single trans woman athlete who significantly out competes the completion. It’s always pointing to someone who like trains every day of their life and gets 7th place or some shit. Once it was even like 1000th place in a race (which have no genuine competition after, like, 10th place)
Not to mention we’re deep down the path of banning blockers in most places, and even if they remain legal in specific left leaning pockets, that just creates a group of people who lucked into not being banned from sports.
I watch YouTube way too much to ever be satisfied by any form of subscription feed. On places like Twitter all I want is the feed of people I follow, but not so much on video platforms.
If we lived in a sane country all 4 major tech companies would have already been brought to court over this in like, 2016. (Microsoft for the second time…)
It’s also nice to zap annoying parts of pages like proton mail begging for money and Twitter’s more annoying buttons. However, I still find adguard to work worse than ublock.
I like it, but I’m mad they backed out of the redesign a few years ago, and I hate that it doesn’t support true ad blockers. The modern web is near unusable with the current ad count.
Your phone is a portal into a large part of the world. It’s not that odd that the average person would prefer a larger window.
I have no use for the ringer switch and would prefer for ringer to just turn on when I’m at home and off when outside, so I really hope it works out this way.
Yes, it also takes several days to recalculate all your photos so be prepared for that.
It’s kind of annoying that a lot of features are locked behind a Mac, but I guess most of the features that require a Mac google photos lacks entirely…
The iPhone 7 and up, it became built into the phone without requiring a specific adapter. I don’t know enough about TTY to know if that means you plug it in with lightning, or if the lightning to 3.5mm adapter also includes TTY functionality. :(
real.
Stuff like this is why I went to Mac in 2020 and I only begrudgingly look back the few times a year I absolutely need something windows exclusive. They really have a lovely way with software and UI that Microsoft does not.
I would have the secret santa one like 3 times. Keep making that mistake when messing around with discord bots.
How is that functionally different than just having the entire thing be centralized, though? At that point the decentralization is just a footnote that makes the website more confusing. The main instance could be sold off one day and walled off from the other instances and nobody would be able to do anything about it.
It seems like your use could be covered by a revived RSS reader-like system, because you want more of a news ticker than social media. That’s fine, but that’s not how a lot of people use Twitter.
On Reddit you post underneath a community. The decentralized abstraction only slightly complicates this. Reddit is just a centralized version of old forums, where you had an account for all your niche interests. Lemmy is the middle ground between those old forums and a central account because you can access all the content from any fediverse account.
On Twitter, you post detached from any community, the only way to be a part of one is purely based on social groups. The average person doesn’t want to have community instances even if they can talk across multiple, they want a social media that can represent themselves and all of their interests on one account. And if you say the solution is for everyone to just join the biggest instance, how is that really any different from a centralized social media anyway? It’s just over complicated for what Twitter is.
Bluesky and Threads will crush Mastodon. And unfortunately, between those two, probably Threads will beat Bluesky.
Mastodon isn’t enough like Twitter imo. It’s too complicated and the separate severs just make things even more difficult. Reddit was always focused on posting under a community, Twitter is community optional. Community optional doesn’t translate well to decentralization at all imo.
Lemmy? Maybe. Mastodon? Not a chance.
Lemmy functions perfectly as a Reddit replacement and only adds a mild amount of complexity on top of using Reddit. Mastodon is only similar to Twitter’s use case if you’ve had a few beers and are squinting.
I only dislike it in a “death by 1000 cuts” type of way where iOS already has a long list of things that make development more annoying.
