I prefer transmuting goblin to gold. Quite a curious spell, only works on those who mock magic.

If I’m only browsing top, I switch to .ml since I had an account there months ago
Remember how they took gold awards, a user made bot, and monetized it?
Any password restriction that LOWERS entropy is a bad restriction.
No, I’m not answering the question, I know. But I’m answering the better question, which is “is this a stupid thing to ask of a password?”, and yes it is.
Firefox did the same.
And I actually love it.
You’re saying this… On Lemmy. You do know we have three different “trending” settings here, right?
I honestly much prefer the idea of a chronological feed too, but disagree that’s what kills a platform. Tumblr has both the chronological and the trending for you/for all, and it was also ignored.

The day it came out. Me and two more people were basically going at it together on each of our computers and we were psyched out that Toby Fox was seemingly making a Horroresque spin-off to Undertale and making a survey on it. It’s like, out of all the RPG makers out there, half and half seem to spawn off of either Earthbound or Yumme Nikki aesthetically.
Then one of us beat the Lancer fight and it kept going and they went “GUYS IT’S UNDERTALE 2”
There goes the largest no stupid questions community. Bah. They’ll be back in a day or two, I know, but bah.
I think this is the perfect opportunity to plug to everyone the concept of password managers and other basic web security concepts.
Not just worse, it’s also extremely dependent on instance choice when you first try to build your circle of follows. Having to follow people to find people to follow to find further people to follow makes that first step the most important, and Mastodon’s vision of an “Everything” feed is a disorganized mess. Intentionally, for anti-viral reasons.
The reason that’s an actual huge issue is that instance choice is also, easily, the highest barrier of entry to a new user. People are CONFUSED by it. Which means that if someone who would be in earnest willing to try Mastodon and give it time, may still end up coming out with a bad impression if they made a mistake with the prior step and couldn’t figure the right second and third step to overcome the hurdle.
Meanwhile, here on lemmy, our choice of instance is largely irrelevant. The only change we get on our “All” feeds is just a couple top posts, so we may not have the same starting position, but we do have something in the same ballpark.
This whole conversation is and was tiresome to have, honestly. I did see people try to solve it, but even there they’d run their onboarding environments built by mastodon users counter to what newcomers may want. For example, I saw this web wizard that would quiz me on my region and languange and also slur-censoring preferences… when all of that stuff is completely irrelevant to me - I look up entertainment communities by topics FIRST, not social philosophy, and specially not by regional peers, because fuck my regional peers.
Anyways, point was… Everyone I know who actually stuck to Mastodon… Have mastodon.social accounts. Exclusively. But here, people are already spread between .ml, sh.itjust.works and .world.

Discoverability was largely the reason why I got in fights with Mastodon users over the platform being in a bad place when Twitter had its first wave of musk awfulness.
I find that the system is now much improved, but man, I can’t stress out just how bad an impression I was given that everyone seemed to think searching posts by tags was a bad thing, and that tags in general were, in fact, objectively broken at the time. Like, people go on social media with purposes in mind.
It’s fixed now. Tag activity is shown correctly. Tag history also gets shown correctly. You can also follow tags. That’s all I wanted, and acknowledgement of it, not a philosophy discourse.
In fact, I’m tempted to say I WANT people to know I’m not the one downvoting them when I disagree.
Honestly, Docket with a GUI just becomes super easy I actually got a bit spoiled. Used to use Kitematic, which even had a browser, but that’s gone. I’m back to terminal only now, but alas.
There’s a video that shows exactly this phenomenon in real time.
The most important people are the first followers. A website with a guy commenting alone is sad for the guy. A website with a couple people commenting is sad for whoever’s not talking.
To the moon is cheating. That game’s ending belongs in an oscar winning movie.
The hell?
99.99% of content on reddit is stolen. What do you think something like /r/WhitePeopleTwitter is about if not content theft from another large platform, with first come, karma served. No one, not a single person there, is ever even concerned with wether or not permission was requested and granted. Heck, not even guides are safe from this. Go visit /r/piracy, and check their wiki. Think of how cool, useful and well formatted it is. Appreciate it for a bit, right before being informed that even this was initially copied nearly verbatim from another online resource. One that, ironically, is banned from being posted on Reddit.
It’s a link aggregator, that’s the category of website it falls under.
And so is this one.
Steal and credit. Link the original directly if you feel too bad. Reword after research, but do it manually if it concerns you. You will be doing more than due diligence. Because if no one ever stole, we’d basically have no content.
Not every community is as garbage as Overwatch’s. Stardew Valley’s and Hollow Knight’s are super chill.

BrosLosers would be really mad at reading that, if they weren’t busy fellating the owners of BoredApes after they made them blind.…
What? No, that’s not a joke.

“Had a good time with the homies who also got their eyes burned”. These people are unbelievably down there in the pathetic human scale.
