Damn, they ADDED buttons instead of making the existing top left comment arrows clickable? That… sucks 😕

As others have pointed out, by default Memmy is swipe to vote. However I think the developer has a build coming with tap to vote as well!

In addition to deleting history, could you get direct access to the account and watch better/different content to hopefully get that stuff more recommended too?

Don’t worry, it’s tripped me and a lot of other folks up too. Although Apollo supported swiping, I always tapped.

How are you trying to upvote? Tap to upvote isn’t in (yet), you have to swipe on comments to vote/comment on them.

why do you think they care enough about the comparatively tiny amount here in the fediverse to do the whole embrace-extinguish stuff?

Only if people voluntarily give up their privacy and switch to a threads account/app, right? I mean ultimately the argument is that Meta will develop features so cool that we’ll all give up our privacy for them?

Idk, it just seems like if that’s the fear, I think it will happen regardless and even defederating won’t really stop that. I feel like people will just make new accounts wherever the cool place to be is.

I’m all for defederating just because you don’t want to see or associate with that content though, that totally make sense.

I was wondering what that home button did, that’s so cool! This tool is amazing.

Ha, I applied to two smaller instances and have heard nothing but radio silence. The smaller instances are of no help if they don’t let anyone in.

100% and I actually love this about the fediverse. Everyone can experience it within their own rules.

Most servers already seem to have Patreons or similar donation platforms running, and subscriptions would not surprise me as everyone starts to settle into this thing. It would make a lot of sense to help spread the load and since content wouldn’t be gated behind the subscription, I can’t see why it would be bad.

I think I have similar thoughts on ads. If an instance wants to run ads to support itself, I don’t see an issue as long as those ads aren’t “federated” out and sent to other places.

I think the ability to have all of these different setups, without restricting any access to content, is the beauty of the fediverse. At least as I understand it.
