This meme from the late 90s is still going? It’s honestly an impressive record.

if you have to list more than one thing per thing the landscape may not be there for a full replacement

And it would be even less if there had to be only one thing per thing.

One of the strengths of the FOSS metacommunity is the variety in designs and results. Big Corpo abuses economies of scale and locks you in with a “one shoe fits all solution” because they under the table also chisel and file your feet; FOSS has (largely) no such restrictions so they can afford to try things and see what results and, more importantly, what evolves. Not everything has to be a copy of corporate, and we shouldn’t act as if it had to be.

In this economy???

I understand the concern to be honest. The problem here is that when someone is a bigot and they are at least reasonable enough to walk themselves out, the response of the community is to stain everyone else by association.

Trust is not associative, and tbh distrust probably should also not be.

is a dead suffix

sure, if you go with that attitude!

Furthermore, it should be pronounced like it was a Greek philosopher.

Brands are nouns and can (and are) thus genericized.

How cute that you believe that.

imagine someone comes over to your place and starts protesting and saying how bad you are

What, you want them to lie to you to your face?

This should like… just not be a rule though

Eh it’s issues with l.w mods being overall cowards.

Think of the lemmy.world mods!!!

“Volume Up makes volume number go up”

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.
