AI really has a lot of practice with Shrek.

I gave you some from a girl to help balance things out!

But I can promise you, from many years net positive on reddit and a not disimilar result here, that you’re not reading your own tone.

Be mindful of the tone, only come off as combative against a near universally disliked topic, and know when you don’t care to curate yourself and are ready for the downvotes.

Your wording here makes you out to be combative, and people are combative in response. Read your own comments as if they’re directed AT you. And look specifically at what’s likely to make you want to argue back. You may even be surprised at what can get net positive response with the right wording.

I feel like the difference with Threads is Meta is owned by a much larger threat that can’t be trusted not to use Embrace Extend Extinguish in some evil genius way that ends up working.

Reddit’s owned by some dummy that did a lot of damage to his own platform but isn’t known to be smart enough or have the resources to threaten the fediverse.

I came to Lemmy because I disliked what Steve Huffman did to reddit.

I’d be completely fine with the users being here. I do miss the whole active community for every niche little thing part. If if federates that’d be neat.

It won’t, since greedy Steve Huffman can’t sell the fediverse to Google while screwing 3rd party devs and users that make it what it is. But I’d welcome it.

This is a callout.

I can’t see the real person behind the avatar when I play multiplayer so I’m reporting them no matter what color their real skin is.

We’re all rainbow colored here, don’t go bringing real life slurs into the chat.

Sentiment shared.

I went from Firefox, to Chrome (came as default, didn’t swap because browser was fine), to Vivaldi which was really neat when I started learning Chrome was going to become suck, then back to good old Firefox when I learned that Vivaldi is Chromium.

I like how it says the two options are to switch browsers or find a new adblocker.

And switch browsers is suggested first.

And “just accept the ads” is not even an option.

Good on that writer.

This is what I use. Good to hear it’s not depreciated on more modern versions of the OS that my ol’ 6S Plus isn’t able to run.

Welp I just lost The Game. Thanks.

Was on Voyager until it updated past my old OS. Current version of Voyager no longer supports my old 6S Plus.

So now I’m on Thunder. It works. I liked Voyager better, but I won’t complain about an app that still works on my phone.

They cannot make me download their shit app, and when old.reddit dies then that’s when I stop going even my current once a month.
