outside of running your own instance, asking your instance’s owner to block them, or joining one that already has the offender on the blocklist, no. It’s requested a lot though so it’s probably on the todo list

of course the one person in europe who owns a pickup would park it on the sidewalk

twitter. thats as deep as it goes. like how they try to get people to put hashtags in their titles despite no one using hashtags to find videos. corporations try not to turn everything into a homogeneous blob challenge: impossible.

it’s funny because they tried to do this push a few years ago too where everyone new had an @ and they eventually dropped it because it was dumb. i guess whichever exec thought that was a good idea never actually left

idk, im surprised it took this long. there’s a huge variety of admin teams with varying degrees of security awareness and it’s been over a month since the first big influx of users started. it’ll happen again too and probably not before too long

God I wrote like 3 paragraphs of hair-pulling stupid bugs and experiences I’ve had with steam just over the last couple years but jfc, long story short is your experiences are not universal. Steam horror stories are as common as flies on a week old corpse

Happy, stable, has a good relationship that is the most fleshed out of any in the comic.

Also the absolute safest of the original cast in a literal sense.

Another reason I’m glad to have left reddit: the QC sub was UNBELIEVABLY toxic, holy god.

Anyway yeah Zlata seems like she is gonna be A Lot

In our current unparalleled enterprise, refusal to switch platforms is simply a refusal to grow—an insistence on watching ads, if you will. Did the Digg user refuse to Reddit? It did not. It crept forth boldly while its brethren remained in the blackest ocean abyss, with lidless eyes forever staring at the dark, ignorant and doomed despite their eternal vigilance. Would we model ourselves on the Facebook user?

Why Cant I Hold All These new traffic Bananas -every instance, today, colorized

Unfortunately not. I made a post about it a few days ago and apparently it’s an unintended behavior that will be fixed, it was just never an issue before since there were so few users lol

While some streamers could get direct sponsors, that option is really only available to a select few of the most popular ones, and would still deprive them of the extra income they currently get from ads served by the platform. You’d have to convince advertisers to trust that each instance is going to serve their ads fairly and not additionally host content they don’t like. A system to distribute ads between instances would be complicated enough as it is; these sites have a lot of QoL updates to push before they even think about doing something like that.

The other problem with YouTube/twitch alts as opposed to reddit/twitter is that a lot of the creators people like the most actually rely on those platforms to serve ads in order to make a living. That content can’t exist on FOSS systems unless they somehow manage to attract advertisers, which seems next to impossible

i feel like mastodon needs immediate mass adoption far more than lemmy or kbin. here, even with a smaller community you get interesting links and some decent memes. but the whole point of twitter/mastodon is to follow specific people, and if those people aren’t there…

Lol I think they were just digging through it desperately looking for chocolate

On top of it all… What joke? He “misinterpreted” a serious statement…

Because then I have to moderate it :/
