uuhhhhmmmm

Normies/tech illiterate people are lazy to uninstall software, they have no reason for that. Just look at their taskbar or desktop icons: a lot of useless crap. It was probably preinstalled, or they installed it for one reason, then just forgot about it.

I was always curious why is it called Incognito or Private mode? Temporary or Guest session would make more sense: "You've entered a Temporary session. Your browsing history and cookies will not be saved."

Makes it really hard to have an pseudonym account on the Internet, for gaming purposes, and then be asked for your real phone number. I don't need to be tracked 24/7.

You can buy a cheap temporary phone number just for SMS activation.

There is a button "Explore communities" in the search tab. It opens a menu with list of communities on your instance. But seems like this button is buggy and disappearing sometimes. Switching to guest account and back returns it.

Codeberg and other alternatives are used by 2 people, if not more. If a repo is hosted on such unpopular service, potential contributors must register a new account. This is very frustrating if you want to report just one issue or make one pull request. Self-hosted repos are even worse.

This problem can be solved by implementing federation. GitLab, Gitea and Forgejo already working on it, but really slow.

A paid ad-free Boost

Some people are really obsessed with fake internet points, turning them into a competition. They're farming it with the most obnoxious methods that degrade the overall quality of the content.

You've already defederated lemmy.world and sh.itjust.works, so I don't care

As far as I know, some clients have ability to add instances and you can view its local feeds without logging in

Nitro ads? It's 1 very minor ad when you launch the app. Then there's no more ads.

Recently I launched Discord on desktop and got big splash screen screaming about new shop items. Earlier, I've got constant popups about new nitro perks, new avatar decorations, new app icons.

Not as good as forums? Bull. I get an answer to my question immediately on discord. I may never find the answer to my question by sifting through dozens of pages of forum posts of someone having a similar but not congruent problem to mine.

You may get an answer immediately, but this answer will be lost after some messages. Someone with the same question may ask it again instead of searching. People in chat may get tired to answer over and over. On forums you have one question 10 years ago and answer to it. No need to ask again.

Can't find information? Discord has integrated forums with a search feature in each server.

Discord's internal search is very limited, not as good as Google. Discord is very hard to archive, so at some point information will be lost.

Bloated? How so? You have an inbox and you have your list of servers on the left hand side.

If you have many servers, you'll get many notifications and new messages badges. You'll also have many useless channels, which you need to manually mute or hide.

it's because discord doesn't have E2E encryption and yall wanna discuss some naughty shit.

I don't really think encryption is mandatory for every chat app, it has some problems with transferring messages to other devices. If you're working on some project, you probably don't want it to be leaked, so you'll encrypt your messages.
