More comfortable.

Cheaper.

Higher resolution.

No idiots hooting and hollering and shooting up the screen.

Pause.

Subtitles.

Gee, I wonder why.

There’s also always someone that says “I fixed it, thanks” and then doesn’t say how.

Absolutely not. It’s used everywhere on the web and other places.

So what do you believe should be done for the people that break laws that you don’t deem prison worthy?

Random name generator.

Include my commute time in my 7 hours of work a day. I’m not driving out of my own love of it, I’m driving because you’re requiring me to be in the office so it should count as time on your clock, not mine.

Also pay for my parking at work, and my petrol to get there and back.

There are renewable resource based plastics, like PLA that is used in 3D printers.

I’m all for it. Any problem dogs won’t be allowed back in, and it’s nice having man’s best friend in the office.

In Australia - nothing. We generally call them universities, but some call themselves colleges.

Sorry I meant to say admins and mods.

Yeh for the last few years especially of my using Reddit I would only ever go directly to the 4-5 subs that I frequented. Never once went to the home page/“all”, or the new discover page or whatever it is.

For now I’m using All on here to try and find some communities to join, and which ones to block. I’d say in a few months I’ll just be using Subscribed.

It’s “starting off” by being flooded with admins and mods* from reddit, many of which didn’t listen to their communities and were power hungry. Lemmy today is basically reddit 2.0 but with growing pains and teething issues.

Have a look at the mod log for MaliciousCompliance on Lemmy.world if you want to see censorship and extreme mod abuse.

If you dare say “biological sex exists and is different to gender” - a pretty factual statement that not even trans people would deny - you’ll have your comment deleted and be banned.

Have to hope those same power tripping mods aren’t also mods in many other subs, but unfortunately the most active one doing all the censoring and banning is.

Now the internet feels like a tool to enslave the mind with identity echo chambers and any deviation leads you to being banned and blocked shunned and silenced within a void that is inescapable

This so much. Go against the narrative and you’re banned even for breaking no rules. Reddit is in the endgame of this at the moment. The admins and their power mods decide on the narrative and if you don’t play along and circle jerk you get banned, often from subs you have never even been to.

Unfortunately in my short time here I’m seeing much the same, though at least the bannings aren’t at the same extent yet. Give it time though.

“The app can still get your contacts even if the OS never gives it permission to and clearly shows that it doesn’t have access to them. Trust me bro”

Yeaaaaaaah nah.

So many apps are secretly sending anything and everything you do in the app to 3rd parties without your knowledge

This is no different to websites via browsers though, so it’s a moot point.

With an app they can do whatever they want with your data without you even knowing it.

No, they can’t, because they don’t have access to “your data”. All they can get is usage data, which they’re entitled to because you’re using their product.

The app doesn’t capture anything that you don’t specifically agree to when it pops up and asks if you want to give it access to it. I’ve been using the app for months and I simply said “no” when it asked the “request to track” question. I can literally see that it has zero access to any of my data on my phone.

They actually can’t unless you specifically choose to let them.

On iOS the only thing from the entire list on the app store that LinkedIn has access to is my photos, and I’m pretty sure it was just the single photo that I uploaded (as iOS gives you the option to do a per photo permission). Contacts? Nope, can’t access them - and the app hasn’t even requested to access them. Location? Nope. Search History? Nope.

It’s actually easier to stop their datamining on mobile than it is on the web.

I dunno, I get what they’re saying. On my phone I much rather use a native app if it’s available than a website, even if they have a dedicated mobile version. Navigation is much better, UI is better, etc.

I’m not denying that it’s happening, I’m simply saying that the rebrand hasn’t even happened on the main way people interact with twitter, yet we have article after article saying that people are leaving in droves because of the rebrand…that they haven’t seen yet.
