I’m pretty sure at this point he’s fully just doing a social experiment

seeing how feral people get the more he changes their addiction app

I swear every time I check the reviews, a bunch of them are just like kids complaining about stuff they don’t understand or mad that there are IAPs, so they give the dev a lecture on why their business model sucks cause their parents won’t give them money for it

like so many apps

and i see a bunch of these bogus ones, they’re useless

honestly i use AppRaven and I pay 2 bucks a month for premium to get notifications and it’s really nice, I’ve found a ton of neat apps on there and they notify you when stuff is on sale

They meant the asshole commenter was having a mental breakdown. I’m sorry they said that, it’s ridiculous.

You’re allowed to grieve or distract yourself in any way you want. (I would discourage anything self destructive obviously)

There’s absolutely nothing wrong with going online. I’m incredibly sorry for your loss, and I am sending many good thoughts your way. ♡

I wear Fruit of the Loom hipsters (I’m a woman).

Personally I like them bc while the waistband has elastic in it and has stretch, it’s not literally an elastic waistband like some underwear.

The material is really soft and comfortable to wear all day long.

I still have “other” undies for special occasions, but day to day I’ll rock the hell out of some Fruit of the Loom granny panties. I’m married and my husband doesn’t care what he pulls off me, so I’d rather be comfortable lol

i’ve had the same thought as you.

i regularly use the sub tab. i watch youtube on weekends while i clean, so usually on friday i’ll check my home page a few times throughout the day, see if there are any interesting recommendations and save them to my watch later.

then in the evening i do one more home page scroll, then i slowly scroll my subs page and make sure i save anything that looks interesting to my watch later. then i might watch one or two videos from my WL that evening and i watch the rest (or what i can fit in) over the weekend.

I don’t get the point of subbing to a channel if you aren’t checking your subs tab. Like…that’s why it’s there lol bc the home page is a bunch of recommendations

Either Cash Cab or Deal or No Deal

I love watching Cash Cab and trying to guess the answers, and I have a DoND app on my phone and I’m not too shabby lol

As someone who smoked Camels for years and is now just as addicted to vaping, there are no benefits. Zero.

When I smoked cigs, I stank constantly. Even if I sprayed perfume or had a mint. My fingers always smelled.

I did 12 straight years of choir, but now I have a much smaller vocal range. I’m not as active because I get winded. Now that I vape and have constant access, I get cranky after like 30 minutes of no nicotine.

My blood pressure is higher. I can’t be on the type of birth control that gives me less side effects because my smoking makes it higher risk.

I’m raising my risk of cancer. I’m spending a fuckton of money on flavored air.

There is literally no positive and I wish I had never touched it.

I’m non tech.

I just work as essentially an administrative assistant in a real estate-esque office making $20 an hour.

Just a married woman in her 20s who is sick of Reddit’s shit.

Lemmy feels like Reddit to me and Mastodon feels more like twitter

so to me they’re both decentralized versions of popular social media

i just think of them as my new reddit and twitter since those companies are sitting at their desks jerking it all day

There are actually 3 lol

Absolutely agree.

Memmy is now in the same revered spot that Apollo was, and I feel like all the constant updates and finding new communities has been so exciting that it eases the pain of losing apollo

better than supporting reddit

i would rather deal with a few incredibly minor inconveniences

tbh i have a roof over my head and food in my mouth, so i haven’t really thought about the number of swipes i have to make in an app, it just isn’t that important

i’m more happy that i have a beautiful client to browse an alternative to reddit

i’ll sit here happily and patiently while the devs carve out their path lol

This was really well said!!

I’m here from Reddit and that’s what I’ve been doing, just subscribing to whatever I can find for each subreddit I’m losing, and then whichever one seems like it’s either most active or has the most quality content stays and I unsub from whatever sublems aren’t providing content.

This OP seems pissed off about subbing to multiple sublems that are the same but like…you don’t have to. Go use Reddit? lol

The multiple sublems thing is kinda the point of Lemmy, there isn’t one big overlord controlling everything

first was an ipod touch, when i was in middle school i think?

favorite so far has probably been just my iphone, i started with a 5 and now im on a 12 pro max with about 6 months until i can upgrade

i’ve loved the evolution of ios, and doing the betas and seeing how far it’s come i still remember when the first iphone came out when i was in like 6th grade and my friend got one, and we thought the most simple shit was the coolest most futuristic thing we had ever seen

i really do love my macbook pro though. can’t say it’s my favorite cause i’ve had an iphone so much longer and i have my whole life on there, but using windows my whole life, then trying a chromebook during my Pixel 3 phase, and then finally getting a macbook has been wonderful

So what you’re saying is, Reddit is fucking creators by not compensating them, but when you take that work and repost it without compensation, it’s ok?

Besides, the great thing about Lemmy is that it’s not Reddit. It has a whole different vibe. I think it’s worth maintaining that.

Thank you

I’m getting tired of seeing those comments, it’s giving a little bit of condescension, and tbh I don’t want to see lemmy communities just turn into subreddits with a list of 30 strict rules you have to check your post against before submitting

It’s so unbelievably easy to just scroll past, I truly don’t understand people who don’t want to see it and could just scroll, but instead expend the energy to open the post and type out a comment instead

I know this technically isn’t the right community, but is it hurting anyone? Could we view it as an opportunity to help someone today? Idk people are so into their own little world.

I do, but not nearly as much as Lemmy.

I used to go to reddit for everything. To scroll aimlessly, just to look at aesthetic photos, to read stories…I even had a multi reddit for text based subs, and a third party app on my watch so I could read text based reddit posts at work.

Now, I only go to reddit if i need the resources of a specific sub (earlier i had a question about an app so i went to their sub to browse and see if there was any advice) or if i’m cross posting content to lemmy to get my communities going.

when i just want to scroll and see what’s new, ive been coming straight to lemmy every time.

i’m really trying to interact more too.

i don’t think OP is annoyed by spoilers, they’re annoyed by lack of quality comments.

they’re saying that all the comments are just repeating what the video already said so they’re annoying to read through.

ok i thought i was going crazy, that’s the most frustrating thing

i only ever use regular search and image search

if i want shopping results i’ll look at walmart or amazon

if i want video results im just searching right on youtube

i don’t need a million different tabs

Personally I don’t like it because 1, it’s redundant when the post is already greyed out, and 2, it draws MORE attention to read posts.

Your eyes are naturally drawn there because it’s brighter and looks like a notification, then you realize the post is grey.

Without it, it’s simpler. Read posts are dim, unread posts are bright.

Right now, its unread posts are bright and read posts are dim with a bright icon. Everything has something bright so nothing looks different.

Kinda high so I hope I explained that without sounding stupid
