You’re very welcome. Happy to help.

It was disgusting when I tried it. I don’t think it helped that it was wood fired so the broccoli and carrots were heavily singed. Was very gross. It also barely had any cheese on it.

If you could force users to use an app like Reddit does you could get device data. Though short of that not really. Browser fingerprinting and tracking cookie placement (What Reddit uses in their web session) is described that way by lay people (and people trying to fear monger or dissuade ban evasion) but Browsers like Tor or Mullvad defeat that very easily by not saving the data and randomizing the fingerprinting data.

Most Lemmy users wouldn’t use a locked down black box app similar to the Reddit app though. It would be a red flag for many of them. An instance which requires that would not be popular.

It’s more worth while to drum up support for defederation since that removes any instances who take it from being part of their userbase, and weakens the network effect they have here. Remember they’re still dominating the Linux and Privacy communities on Lemmy and the discussion based fediverse in general.

Yup, I’ve already seen a few. Including their main account.

Correction bans only work for people who respect the paradigm of “not being allowed to sign up again when banned” and “not being allowed to lie on registration application” if it’s present on the server.

Normal people don’t get permabanned from servers left, right, and center.

Anyone ever seen or even tried broccoli and carrots on Pizza? It’s truly disgusting.

Forgot the /s or /j there’s people who might take you seriously. Including dragonfucker.

Yup, that’s one of their favorites to spam.

Let’s also not forget their emoji spamming either. They absolutely trashed many threads on servers federated with them.

Aaand they’ve already moved to chapo.chat. Probably should let all the instance admins who defederated hexbear before know before they’re refederated unknowingly.

That’s going to be a nightmare honestly if they do. Since there are so many Servers now with a big stick in their ass about defederation and only Defederated Hexbear after a lot of persuasion. This will probably end up giving their instance a second chance on many instances which defederated them before.

@[email protected] @[email protected] @[email protected] We may want to be on the lookout for their new domain whenever they migrate to it.

Edit: Their new domain is chapo.chat, we should probably block them before they try to refederate with us and spam our users.

I wouldn’t entirely agree, it’s shit because Google and Apple enable the practice by providing app Advertising frameworks and fighting back against people working against those systems (i.e. mobile ad blocking and app firewalls, either through store policy or public discouragement).

Developers are incentivised because advertising both:

1. Gives reoccurring revenue, beyond what a purchase would give.
2. It makes people more likely to pick them up since people easily pick things up that are cheap or even free.

Advertising basically takes away the need to sell stuff and allows poaching revenue from people even if they don’t want to support the app. I’ve known many Devs who will try to eek out more revenue by click fraud (auto clicking their own ads).

So I’m not really a fan of implying this is our fault or “devs gotta eat too”. This practice is very much corporate greed.

I avoid hateful communities, I also avoid communities which are run by known power-tripping mods or are on Instances who’s admin Teams are like that (i.e. lemmy.ml, lemmygrad. hexbear)

I don’t think that is the case, I played Minecraft more than any other game on the Deck and it doesn’t show, also didn’t show last year either.

Not exactly the most exciting year for me, I don’t know if non-steam games are counted as “sessions” there, if they aren’t my count might’ve been higher (I played a lot of Minecraft on my Steam Deck).

I think the Era of consoles needs to come to an end and we need to transition to exclusively open PC-based or PC-Like platforms with Dedicated UIs to replicate the console experience (like Steam’s Big Picture) but on an open hardware and software platform.

Either way they’re eroding their credibility very very quickly.

Edit: He literally made a comment claiming he’s going to make a game about a porn studio. I don’t think we can say he isn’t a troll at this point.

I think it’s becoming more and more clear that this user is a troll.

Ah yes the prime example of copyright encouraging creators to keep creating new and unique content, totally not just remaking the same thing over and over for profit.
