Why Buy Anything Else?

It seems to be the size of an air craft carrier.

I wish "social media drama" would be somewhere else than "technology". There is nothing in this story related to technology, it's about business, people, and politics.

Fine. If it helps you manage your issues, you can call it a platform. That doesn't change the fact that there is absolutely no need to use an app to access it, and then moan about how bad that app is.

I don’t want to have had participated

I have something to tell you about the passage of time

Grow the fuck up. You know very well what I mean. The end user interface is a website, and does not require a special app to be accessed.

Use a browser ffs. I genuinely don't understand why people are so obsessed with using a specific app for each website. If the reddit app is bad you can use Chrome. Or Safari, or Brave, or Samsung Browser, or Opera.

Reddit is a website.

But why make it at all? If you want to use HTML, CSS and JavaScript you can do that, and not even have to build and deliver the pointless box that you put the content in, because everybody has Safari, Chrome, or another browser on their device.

I for one, spent time blocking what I wanted to, to curate my feed, and it took time.

If that is your general approach, why are you suddenly so eager to hand over that responsibility to the instance owner? Why are you pushing for that instances should curate the feeds of all their users, rather than the users themselves?

Everywhere else, red means stop and green means go. Here, the creator has chosen to reverse that to emphasize that they consider blocking to be good and allowing people to connect to be bad.

No attention is needed for the instances that are marked with red. They are federating.

What a fucking hateful choice of colours. Green for blocking and red for allowing communication. Really shows what kind of perspective the creator has.

If my broadcaster blocks the news segments they don't want me to see, it is. That's what's happening here. Instance owners are taking it upon themselves to block content from users. Bullying pieces of shit are trying to strong arm instance owners into defederating.

They had that in parts of Europe for a year now as a trial. But they are discontinuing it this month, making us choose between ads, and lots of YouTube premium crap we don't want.

Because there is no useful replacement. The people I want to follow are nowhere else. When major news sources left Twitter, they left to nowhere except their own websites. The end result is that I don't really keep up with the news anymore.

Ignorance about basic physics?

So the same shit as here, except for the "look at how bad Reddit is now" posts?

I didn't write a single positive word about crypto. I even changed "spam" to "scam".

I am salty at people hating on reddit with tailored examples to "prove" how shit it has become. It's basically people trying to tell themselves that things are much better here, and reddit has turned to shit since they left. My guess is that they actually think the content here is kinda sparse, so they need to keep telling themselves they did the right thing.
