  • At least on the iPhone side the 12 and 13 mini were full flagships in a smaller form factor. I just wish we could go back to that

  • Every action is public in the mod log so I don’t think shadow bans are possible although you might not know to check the mod logs in the moment

  • I’ve enjoyed Pixelfed a lot more than I thought I would. I feel like the same principle applies to follow tags that you are interested in to make sure you feed has content that interests you. A lot of the same content surfaces on both my mastodon and Pixelfed accounts as I follow the same hashtags on both. I did discover a few accounts on Pixelfed that I wouldn’t have if I just stayed on Mastodon though.

    My biggest gripes with Pixelfed is that the app sucks. And the content I’d be most interested in seeing (pictures of my friends and family) aren’t on there. Probably because of reason 1 and because meta platforms aren’t as a big of pain point for them as they are for me

  • Yes why do you think they make you pay with your card or Walmart app if they can help it? So they can track your purchases

  • And so at small stores ran by local owners who can’t afford surveillance equipment and aren’t obsessed with profit

  • At least Lemmy is open source and there isn’t any advanced analytics running and telling server operators exactly what you look at and for how long. And if there was, it would be discovered quickly and you could host your own instance and only look at content locally.

    Your posts aren’t private. But that’s the whole point so that they can be seen and federated

  • I disagree that Reddit has good content but even bad content is better than no content for communities that haven’t been built here yet

  • Id like to give an honorable mention to Shanghaied (where they become indentured to the Flying Dutchman)

  • Probably either Bandgeeks or Hibernation

  • Maybe OP should touch grass if he wants to know what real people think

  • Lemmy already is a free speech safe place in that nobody controls it. If you find that people are interacting with you negatively, blocking you, or otherwise not agreeing with you; that isn’t censorship. It doesn’t matter how many times you post this question.

    My Deep Thoughts

    Jump
  • Sir, this is a Wendy’s

  • At least the mask is off. Apple, Google, Meta. None of them care about anything but profit and there isn’t a value they aren’t willing to compromise on if it makes the line go up.

  • If it weren’t for social media, humanity would find another technology to lie and manipulate people for money and power.

    Money and Power are what corrupts, not technology

  • Apollo was the best Reddit app on iPhone. Voyager continues its legacy

  • voyager is available as a web app if you’d rather use your browser vger.app

  • If people can’t understand what federation is then just send them directly to .world or lemm.ee or another big instance. If they have common sense then send them to join-lemmy and let them pick an instance. If someone is unable or unwilling to learn a very basic concept then they probably are not going to be a very good neighbor to have on the fediverse.

    I agree that the discoverability of communities needs improvement. I think that most instances should add starter pack like features with the most popular communities for people to choose to subscribe to when onboarding new users.

    In my opinion, finding the right and active communities to subscribe to is the biggest onboarding hurdle, not picking an instance. If picking an instance is a hurdle, that person wasn’t willing to try another site in the first place

  • If you are looking for an app, Voyager is the best in my opinion. It’s totally feature complete afaik
