I’m fully aware of that thanks, I was responding to:

The moment you get actual content creators to move off twitter and provide their content on mastodon, I’m deleting it too.

And saying from the perspective of a content creator, that’s an issue that’s hard to overlook. So mastodon won’t get to that point of having all the content creators if there isn’t something to help them share their content. I don’t know what the solution would be, maybe a separate feed with an algorithm that people can switch to if they want.

Edit: and the antisocial comments below is why mastodon will never take off with the larger population and therefore never really compete with Twitter, Threads, or BlueSky for content.

As somebody who produces content (with a full time job so not as often as I like) it’s so much harder to get engagement on mastodon without the algorithm tbh. I’m trying to get my name out there but engagement is slim to none compared to say, Instagram. I’m not on Twitter but both BlueSky and Mastodon have been a struggle. I don’t see myself devoting too much energy into them as far as posting content goes tbh.

There is a fediverse version of YouTube already called PeerTube. But people are finding it’s incredibly expensive to host video streaming servers and is a large part why it hasn’t really taken off.

I didn’t think I’d watch the whole video but wow, the level of incompetence was just unrivaled. Komchatka was captained by Mr. Bean confirmed.

and he was a fair bit of a regular.

That’s the wildest part to me. You’d think if you’re into that kind of stuff you’d learn to repair your own equipment that hosts some of the most illegal content one could possess.

Somewhere I have a picture of it saved, but as a Sys Admin for an office one person had so much dead skin piled on their mouse I gagged. It formed the shape of their fingers on the buttons and the dead skin was, not exaggerating, like 4-5 millimeters thick of caked-on yellow disgustingness. Mind you, we provide new mice for people to use in the office for any reason, they just need to let us know and ask. There was no reason for this other than the person just being a Nurgle initiate or some shit. People are gross.

Came to the comments specifically to say this, this is not world news. I hope we can keep this from being so American centric like Reddit was, but the track record hasn’t been super great so far.

Interesting, thanks for the additional info!

are these editors orangutans?

The Librarian would be much more meticulous tyvm.

It was just another link aggregation site like Reddit, you didn’t miss too much tbh

The ones I looked at in the store near me did! That was a few months ago when I was shopping for a new carrier.

I agree. I wasn’t implying he deserved to have his plan dropped. Only commenting on the use of the drone tech for inspecting people’s properties. I should’ve clarified I was not defending the insurance company’s decision to cancel his plan.

Thanks for the additional info! I’ll definitely be keeping this in mind when I’m finally forced to switch off the 4a.

You see that Radicalized@lemmy.one?? I’ve got options!

I’d love to keep the clean OS experience of the Pixel but I may have to go with Sony on my next phone. This one should last for another two or three years though.

Hey buddy, T-Mobile has modern network compatible flip phones. You think I won’t go back?! I’ll go back!!

I agree with everything you said. I do hope if they see all the lukewarm/negative feedback and decide to rebrand again that they stick with the fish theme and icon. It’s cute and I like that all the microblog platforms have animals associated with them. Bird, Elephant, and now Fish. Elephant and Fish can be friends, Bird can fuck off.

Does anyone know if current Pixel/Samsung hardwarewill support this??

It doesn’t seem like they’ve said one way or the other (unless I missed something). It would be nice if it did but if I’m being honest I’m guessing no. If only new phones will have it then it will push more people to continue their yearly/bi-yearly upgrade cycle.

I refuse to “upgrade” until they put the aux port back. Still rocking my 4a 5G, it’s great AND has an aux port tyvm.

The entire Dreamcast catalog. Specifically Skies of Arcadia, Power Stone 2, Crazy Taxi, Sonic Adventure 2, Berserk: Gut’s Rage, Spawn: In the Demons Hand, Phantasy Star Online, and so many more great ones.

Honourable mention: Seaman

Exactly, the only subreddit I still visit is for my local city/metroplex and even then I’ve set it up as an RSS feed so I don’t need to actually go to Reddit. Once enough neighbors are here that RSS feed will be getting cut most likely though. Or until Reddit shuts down the RSS feature.

Oh I agree, I don’t think he should’ve been dropped especially since they’re not showing the photos they took meaning it’s likely not that bad. I was more so just referring to the use of drone tech for this type of inspection. I think that’s fine, as long as they’re giving proper notification like what’s required with human inspectors.
