Thanks for clarifying, but sad to hear.

Alternative messenger exist, I should’ve been more precise. At this point an alternative would require at least the same features than discord, to get people away from it. I don’t see that happen.

It would grow. Just to have the ability would be nice. A lot of people also would start to write reviews to be the first etc. We got to start somewhere, same as with the Fediverse. We could even combine it.

It’s about a quick glance on a location and reading some reviews quickly. There is a workaround with open street maps integrating google reviews but it’s again relying on google at this point.

Yeah this is the biggest issue.

Discord. I hate that premium costs so much and all the ads they put in place to sell useless junk features.

Google maps. So open street maps but with reviews like maps has. A few days ago people suggested apps, but they lack reviews. I disagree that they are useless.

So many Mastodon server, crazy. The Lemmy experience is so much better than Mastodon, strange that this is the major draw. Is it because of Meta?

One used to be able to disable the outbound click on Reddit, in the account settings, but default they track everything.

They’ll sooner or later appear here too, that’s sadly a reality all social media will suffer from now on. No filter can detect AI replies for long.

I love that I got this reference.

This time it’s encouraged

Their wet dream to bring online service costs to PC

Welcome and enjoy your stay. Here are a lot of communities with similar interests, but still a bit less content. It’s growing however. I sadly still visit Reddit too often, but I always open Lemmy Connect app first.

I hate the ever growing hidden ads on Reddit. I spot them daily now. Threads created to clearly sell you a product or software, with astroturf comments “wow this is freaking amazing. I’m downloading it right now.” sure you enjoyed this okayish post so much and it totally doesn’t sound obvious, that there are 10 more comments in this 15 comments thread, all saying the same. Or this unnatural amount of votes. 🤢🤮

Apple scummy once again.

Would you say all games with mtx are trash? No one stops the suits from picking an amazing game and force ads into them, same with mtx.

All big games will have this from now on. Same as with microtransactions, very few have non anymore.

Next will be: “Watch X more ads, to speed up the grind”

SureAI also made s fun fallout 3 mod, I think it was called the Cube.

We need some sort of internet 2.0 but I can’t tell how or even if we could prevent AI bots from entering. Maybe via passport IDs that identify you as human, but nothing stops you from using an AI afterwards. Maybe we can create some sort of label or award, you only get if at least X% of your work is done by humans? So people could see right away if you’re just copy pasting and AI writing or are real researchers and press? But I guess without more transparency there’s no green grass. Sadly bad press is no stopping ground anymore either, we used to sack people and companies closed in shame. Nowadays they just keep going and people forget after a day.

16 but I mostly browse all.

Bring back 6vs6 and another “no role lock” mode. That’s all I want to reinstall. I’d still miss the free skins by simply playing, but at least I would play.

I miss tracer’s ass, Reinhardt’s charge and Mai her giggle.

Also a fucking movie, when?

Nah, all dreams, will never happen. Bye.
