Those are super easy to fix. Even the Google eraser could fix those easily.

I have lived in the desert my whole life. So I guess I’m an expert now. I can tell you that it’s hot as fuck and it can still kill me. No amount of planned “exposure” is going to prevent dehydration or heat exhaustion.

Yep. Went to Disneyland a year ago and the trip there was very affordable. The trip home was 3-4x higher since it was closing time.

Came to say the same. Why are you driving users to their platform at all?

It does when your employees are also some of the end users.

I bet this has to do with complying with court orders. Can’t turn over something you don’t have.

Like I said. “Real” Confession Bear memes.

Real Confession Bear memes were my favorite

I think that’s actually closer to the mark than many realize. Awards are great when they are not directed at the company or it’s rep in a negative manner as they show positive engagement and help the company with sales marketing. When awards and upvote/downvote counters are used to highlight that the users are having a negative experience then it hurts the platform image. Similarly to how YouTube removed the downvote tracker because their marketing team realized it hurt their sales revenue with business partners.

I have 4 vehicles you know what all of them have in common regardless of the year? Apple Carplay/Android Auto and backup cameras.

If any manufacturer believes their shit maps and apps are better than Android or Apple they can fuck right off. I will hack or replace every system in my cars.

I’m not saying I want or support that. I actually found it very easy to adopt. I am saying it is a hurdle in regards to adoption in regards to platform growth which is often discussed when comparing it to other social platforms.

I experimented by asking it to write a SQL query for a platform that has its entire database map available online. The data I asked for was impossible to get without exporting some of the data in those tables into temp tables using sub queries and then running comparative omissions analysis.

Instead of doing that it just made up fake tables and wrote a query that proclaimed the data was in these fake tables.

I visit it for a couple of subs that are not active on here. For the most part it feels the same. I never really cared for the karma system, gold, etc. So switching to Lemmy for me was more about just trying to find a place not being bombarded by ads, bots, and corporate policies.

I think reddit will survive the Exodus of users simply because Twitter is so badly managed that reddit may actually supplant it for a while. However, the drive to monetize all aspects of our lives is actually getting some push back from users so Lemmy may continue to grow in the next few years.

The biggest issues facing Lemmy isn’t content though. It’s ease of adoption.

I think in the early days volunteer moderators were necessary because you wouldn’t want a paid employee dictating the content and direction of a community sub that was created by users. That’s what made reddit special back then. Now that it has a high user volume it’s taken on a life of its own and the company feels they can move forward without those volunteers. I think it’s a mistake but time will tell.

Honestly I don’t mind the upvote and downvote system but i don’t want reddit replicated.

Sorry. I should clarify. I was reading a thread about Apollo going offline and Boost as an alternative so a preregisterd for Boost. I wouldn’t turn down an official Apollo app for Lemmy though.

Saw the post about Apollo going offline and someone added the info for wefwef. Preregistered for Boost but so far wefwef is working great.

Edit: meant to write Boost not Apollo.

Just created my Lemmy account and I am using wefwef. So far no complaints in my first hour. Someone has offered me a tildes account so I may accept it but in all honesty the closed Alpha part is not really appealing since I mostly accessed reddit for news, book forums, and other hobbies. Anyone use Tildes and can give a brief comparison of whether it is worth putting time into at the moment?
