Most do literally nothing for the vast majority of subs they mod.
The person is in offline mode and has attempted to use a feature that requires an online connection. Maybe a puzzle of the day or vs mode or something. The pop up is saying the feature they want isn’t available in offline mode and is just asking if they want to go online. No asshole design, no software gore. Just a message that’s a little misleading out of context.
Though I don’t know this game so that might all be entirely incorrect and it might just be asshole design. Would be a weird way to phrase it though.
Deeply skeptical. Mine is 15 years old with a few hundred k karma and it isn’t worth shit.
Is it possible to block users on Lemmy yet?
The bragging rights of a 4 or 5 number ICQ user.
If you’re in the US, call the police.
I have essentially stopped using YouTube at this point due to the ads, and the first time I get 5 unskippable ads will be the last time I use YouTube. I already essentially quit after it stopped being 1-2 20s skippable ads or 1-2 5s unskippable ads, which I thought was fair as long as it was no more than twice in 20-30 minutes. Now I get 2 unskippable 20s ads every time and there really isn’t anything on YouTube I want to watch that much.
I’ve seen comments suggesting it’s something to do with PowerDelete. I used Shreddit to overwrite and delete mine and they’re still gone.
15 year redditor, though only with ~250k karma. Scrubbed the crap out of my account. I'll probably still use reddit on desktop for as long as old.reddit exists, but for mobile I'm definitely trying out alternatives.
If 3rd party apps account for 5-10% of the userbase then it seems insane they’d alienate that 5-10% rather than just figure something reasonable out with the apps. There aren’t that many and they could accommodate them without impacting their desire AI scraping changes.
Tribalism will not help the lemmyverse grow.
I’ve found the interface at kbin the best of the Lenny sites I’ve tried but there’s still things about it that really frustrate me. Things that, admittedly, I liked about Reddit. But if this places becomes some weird “old hands vs newcomers” site then yeah, I’ll go back to Reddit. Which would be sad.
I'm the opposite. Had my reddit one for 15 years and I'm absolutely positive if I picked a new one I'd forget what it was.
Insisting people talk about things only on specific instances is a very quick way of getting people to lose interest in Lemmy, imo. I'm here. I don't really want to go there.
Amazon should be "You want shit fast more than you want us to pay a living wage."
Every OS before iOS/Android was a travesty and only the generosity of time could make anyone think otherwise.
I hope that one lesson reddit takes away from this is that they were idiots for letting a small handful of moderators have such sweeping control of so many subs. Moderators who mod 100+ subs are, and always have been, a cancer on reddit, but at least for once they've done something to our benefit.
