This is the key. Different products are intuitive for different people. Some people prefer less customizability with less barrier to entry. I recommend Apple products for a lot of users even though I strongly prefer Android/Linux/Widows. I also strongly prefer the Mac trackpad and gesture support. I use a Mac laptop for anything not work related because I hate the way trackpads work on Windows (even using the superior Mac trackpad).

All that said, if someone else prefers iOS, or Windows trackpads (or even likes those awful little buttons on Lenovos), then they should use them! Use what works for you!

100% I will only be using instances that don’t federate with corporations.

Funny, I immediately assumed it was an insecure guy

I agree completely, Reddit screwed up. Huffman is a petty tool and he’s running a lot of great communities.

My point is that it does hurt people who aren’t Reddit/Huffman. Mods and community members who have created and curated tons of content. It’s hundreds of hours of work to migrate that info, and not everyone will come with you if you do.

It was an easy choice for me because I’m not invested, but for those that have more at stake, moving platforms is a much bigger sacrifice.

The people who stayed aren’t necessarily wrong or bad, they could have good reasons and harder choices than shine of us here who lose very little, or maybe even some who lose a lot.

You’re not wrong, it saves me tons of time scripting.

It’s not just corporate reddit though. Consider the time and effort invested in these communities. Obviously I left because I don’t want to support reddit (and because their non 3rd party interface is almost unusable), but there are mods of small communities that have put thousands of hours into building up these subs.

Ask Historians is a perfect example of a sub that gets punished by modified comments (and they have been highly supportive of protests). They are so heavily moderated that every comment is 100% on topic and each comment lost makes the hard work they put in less worthwhile. Now each person has a right to delete their own content, but it sucks to write a 3 page essay response with citations only to have the context be removed to spite reddit. The mods and contributors of the subs are suffering too, and at a time when maintaining the community is much harder.

Is missing an active NBA community, which is/was at least half of my reddit traffic along with several other subs I frequented, so I that regard it’s a let down.

The interface is already better on jerboa than anything reddit ever made, and I haven’t had a ton of issues, just missing the communities.

Yeah, that was bonkers

AIs coding/scripting is incredible, but that’s likely just because there is so much shared scripting available to munch on. AI is just faster at doing the Google search I do to steal someone else’s work.

The simultaneous nuance and beauty of the art coupled with inability to get hands right. It’s both humorous and chilling.

If you don’t at least have reliable NSFW flags then many parents (and more importantly schools) won’t let their kids watch, which is a large part of ad revenue.

I’m always curious about how people label games heavy or middle weight. What makes you put Gaia Project as mid weight and Terraforming Mars (with expansions) as heavy?

They make USB-C to headphone adapters that also have a USB-C for charging in case you need both art the same time. I hated losing my headphone jack, but the adapters work.

Did they migrate yet? I keep not logging in to reddit…

I’m relatively familiar with the global population distribution, but not at all familiar with the pricing differences. It’s the price of RAM drastically different outside the US?

Probably depends on where you are, how much is it for you?

There is nothing really close. Better off Ted is an obvious if distant number 2 for me.

I need more Veridian Dynamics.

Also, casting Linda as Ted Lasso’s wife and having her say “Ted” was one of the most jarring experiences I’ve had watching TV. All suspension of reality was completely broken.
