We can be shitty together! :p

I mean, you gotta start by seeing the positives.

It seems they don’t care.

Then get that in writing.

You don’t need years for a terminal, at least not for the stuff a normal user would have to expect to do with it (so eg.: not browsing files, that has good UIs already). But you should expect to have to learn something. We require people to learn and even certify their learning when they are to drive a car for example, and for computers we are not even askng 1/6th of that, even tho the last few decades show we maybe should.

You don’t need to do everything on the terminal – even today, you don’t have to. But you should not fear the terminal, the same way you should not fear a piano because you play a violin. Windows also has a terminal, there’s stuff that tells you to go there to enable some Powershel things, and no one complains.

Or with cooperatives. Cooperatives are a good alternative to corporations.

Yeah sorry I underspecified because the rest is implied in the context of the case. You add a contact to a group, of course they get the messages that go to the group.

Heck, even IRC (basically) works like that.

The entire point of the fediverse is to federate. Not federating by default kills discoverability and the potential for discoverability among other things

Trump dismisses Signal security failure as

“Our failure”.

Signal worked perfectly here: if you add a contact, they get the messages.

What failed was the Trumpist, like at everything else.

Oh, do cry me a river while you’re at it. Pretty much every community everywhere has a general or memes room, those are for the meme gifs (or wait, these are webp these days…).

So basically, people use Reddit to search on the internet now because it’s real people, not shitty SEO content.

Excuse me what? Since when since Jun 2024 does Reddit actually have real people?

This pretty much. At some point one has to accept that the people who want to be saved can be saved, and those who don’t, can’t. We shouldn’t (reasonably or not) waste ourselves for the latter in spite of the former.

If I’m talking with people about the topical thing which is why I joined a room in the first place, the last thing I want is a looping autoloops fruityloops annoyance. Plus, not autoplaying and autolooping them saves battery.

Excuse me, Jabber / XMPP is about as old as I am!

XMPP / Jabber is better.

Just sell the car to a derby demolition show. We all win.

Yeah it’s so fun to watch l.w melting over Luigi, I wonder if they’ll next also melt over reference to Luigi’s Mansion (a videogame) like Reddit is doing.

This is one of the reasons why I’m against the anti-intellectualism trend of trying to “consolidate” Lemmy communities. Basically subjects everyone who is potentially interested in a given subject to submit to one singular ToS of the (artificially) “popular” community du jour.

I think you’ve pretty much nailed it. KFC can’t ban you from buying a Burguer King that McDonalds is secondhand selling.

This meme could have been an email!
