An interesting development to be sure

I thought the selling point behind most Twitter like services is that it’s focused on negative positioning. E.g. things that are negative focused get more attention and engagement

Yeah that’s the most brazen part. They’re more than happy to pull in a dozen set of fees, but cry when they have to clearly list them so people aren’t taken advantage of. This is the type of rubbish that the “free market” produces and why there needs to be some level of government oversight.

The balls on some of these people 😡

I think the end conclusion wasn’t great. He said

It wouldn’t matter if it dropped 20 degrees

It absolutely would matter. Just like how a 4090 costs an absurdly high amount but people will still buy it. For the right person getting 20 degrees knocked off might be worthwhile regardless of how expensive it is.

The critiques that Steve laid out in this video were perfectly fine, highlighting the shortcomings of LMG when it comes to actually reviewing content (which is what they’re pivoting to, away from 100% entertainment content). A typical Linus arrogant take where he’ll learn nothing.

The sentiment feels on point however, that this users experience with Firefox has been poor and issues flagged have not resolved in an eternity. I’ve definitely felt similar exhaustion with other systems.

PayPal can just up and freeze your account at any moment, keeping all of your money locked away. I’ve read of several ebay sellers who’ve used PayPal before and ran into Issues when trying to withdraw. If I wouldn’t trust them with regular payments, why would they be anymore appealing as a crypto coin?

Really good image considering it’s AI generated. 👍🏼

I’d be keen to give it a go if it were legitimately anyone else besides Facebook. Would have even tried it if Microsoft made a random Twitter clone

People hear from others that Lemmy is the place you go and when searched for you end up here. Having registrations closed doesn’t sound like a great idea when most people have no idea about the fediverse

Perfectly fair. People coming from Reddit specifically need to be eased into the fediverse and saying “whoops sorry we’re full / closed” isn’t great.

Ideally if we want things balanced people should be on multiple instances but I’d rather several slower, bigger instances in the meantime until the community expands.

Cheers for the work you guys do!

There’s a mobile app in the works, Artemis. Things will be a bit better when the site gets official API support and more services can connect to it

I’ve found squabbles pretty good for tweet style content. There seems to be a pretty engaged audience who can look at a short sentence or photo and happily engage with a comment

I’m pretty happy with kbin.social. It’s a nice place, with several devs actively looking at making the experience better, it just takes a while being an open source project and all

Aw yus meats 🥩🥩🥩

The ATO online solution is more than enough for 90 of people, comparing it to other systems I’ve seen internationally (like the US / Canada), it’s a godsend.

Great to have a platform we’re it’s relatively easy to put in your income, dedications and other crap and get a reasonable assessment without having to pay some leach company to do fuck all.

Lots of things come in peaks and troughs. They’ve still got a pretty impressive userbase considering they only just started.

Extra cache, so much room for more activities!

A drop in the bucket for these blokes sadly. Fines this small don’t encourage change, they’re just the price for doing business
