Half the country votes for a party that is totally anti-worker because said party tells them they’re pro-worker on TV… so that’s not really all that surprising.

I am American and I am not offended by this. I’m not even sure I disagree

Hmmmm, okay well probably not that then

trying to get in shape

Doing what? These look very similar to the bruises my wife gets working out.

Did you lift weights the day before? Perhaps with dumbbells?

Yessir! Also note that there’s an animals category that has a cat or two as well, but the one you reference is the one that serves as my personal desktop homey.

OKAY OKAY HERE YOU GO.

Geez

I tried to upload a screenshot but it keeps throwing an error. Here’s a link to it from their web Site.

I got bored but then I noticed almost immediately how I spend so much extra time just navigating my phone on other launchers. So I switched back and then they released a wallpaper that has a fun cat in it and now he’s my home screen homey and I’m good

If Reddit is toxic to you, then you must be one of them.

Well that’s not very nice.

What metric do posts with no user engagement push though? From an analytics standpoint I don’t see the value prop

I still use reddit for some of the niche and sports communities that just aren’t really present on Lemmy (or not yet at least). I only use old reddit, and I only use my front page or the multis I curated myself. One thing I’ve noticed a lot lately is posts with zero upvotes and usually zero comments appearing in hot, top, and best filters. Most of these are absolute trash posts that were clearly posted by a bot.

I do not understand what benefit they’re seeking by shoving bad posts with no positive feedback into these sorting options but it’s fuckin weird.

Your first download should be a guide on punctuation my brother.

If not Threads, how do we turn this FOSS venture free of corporate interference into a new avenue for a mega corporation to harvest all of our data for profit?

If not Threads, how will we ever ruin this place by turning it into Reddit?

If not Threads, who will I shill for?

Picking a better instance for your main is most advisable. Users can accept that the primary benefit of a free and open source federated service can also sometimes inconvenience them, or they cannot. Complaining about the core mechanic of the technology that literally cannot change is silly IMO. Corporate owned centralization leads to enshittification. Your account age indicates that you know that first hand.

Reddit syndrome still affects a lot of users here, who view having multiple accounts on different answers as an inconvenience instead of a feature of the platform design. The irony is that tons of users on Reddit had lots of accounts without batting an eye, but that extra step of having to lick a new instance is just SO complicated.

Okay yes that’s what I remember reading. I have Express VPN now, and while researching found it’s still surprisingly highly and doesn’t log. it’s on the more expensive side though, so I may still give proton or one of the other recs a try.

Same, I used to use PIA for about a decade, but I could’ve sworn I heard they were one of the ones that had gone way downhill. Otherwise I never had an issue with them. I’ll have to do some digging, see if it was founded or just a reddit rumor.

Oh nice thanks for that. So should I not worry as much about seeding the private trackers?
