Oh, that’s me!

Thanks, Alk. I’m glad my little posts mean something to the general public here, I appreciate it!

And people judged me for watching YouTube with uBlock Origin, or via NewPipe for eons.

Look who’s laughing now.

I did the same long ago, but I did go back to reddit. I wish I’d learned my lesson at the time -__-

Easy fix:

Buy a fitness/smart watch - an older one is fine, why go excessive

Download GadgetBridge from F-Droid/Droidify and then use that instead of a proprietary app which is just harvesting your data and telemetry at every chance:

• Removing the messages option and instead replacing it with their stupid DM chat system, even for modmail

• Stating that later this year they’re going to introduce walled off paid sub-reddit

• That live stream nonsense they had a couple of years back

• Their A.I. answers integration

• Censoring users who mention ‘eat the rich’ and the name Luigi

• No longer allowing moderators of their own sub-reddit to change a sub’s status to NSFW (after the protests, obv), now requires admin to do this for them if the deem it appropriate

…who’d have guessed that these decisions were shit. Not the community who told them each time, again and again, right?

Fuck you, Reddit

I enjoyed my time there immensely. I loved fostering a community, and helping people, I wrote guides and news posts, I helped other users via messages and overall felt like it was a nice place.

But over time Reddit got greedy, and for me to do the work for free (moderate), and then provide their content for free (my posts)…with how they treated us and will continue to?

My time is better spent on the fediverse. Here and Mastodon. I’m far happier here now.

Here’s an article about the plan for paid sub-reddits, on arstechnica. It was reported about a month ago

Their other plan is removing their established messages system and sunsetting it completely over the next 3 months. Instead every message including modmail will be done with their horrendous instant chat system - those stupid DMs they have there.

I left moderating some significant subs back when with the 3rd party app protests, but did return to Reddit after that to start my own.

But now, since early December I’m done-done.

My account has been deleted (as with Discord), and I’m all in on the fediverse. Seeing the proposed changes (the concept of a paid sub that Spez is so adament about?), I just had enough. And the more news of Reddit I see, the happier I am I did.

Most of my daily time now is spent on Mastodon, but I am here every few days trying to share a post or two.

Use the website (its all I have ever done) or use Clerotri instead, here: https://github.com/upryzing/clerotri

I hope it helps someone on here! :)

*girl!

And thanks! I’m glad you enjoyed it! I’m lucky that this kinda thing which I find so fun, is something others find interesting!

This was more…practically working out the kinks to see if formatting could be improved on (spoiler: very much so!), so the next might be in a week? A weekly thing? Unsure so far, but again…thank you so much!!!

This is so kind of you!

I’m just lucky that what I find fun (making this kind of post!) is at least interesting to others :)

I just know the devs of Heroic will be pleased to see more people trying their work (and I know this, because I’m going to share it with one right now!)

Hope you enjoy it, it is a great resource for the Steam Deck :)

Thank you!

Oh my gosh, you so should!

At the very least, look into my friends’ work called Decky Loader!

It will let you install a plethora of (verified safe!) plugins. My fav is SteamGridDB (let’s you choose custom art for all your games) and CSS Loader (let’s you customize the home page, so it can look however you like! Mine is very ‘Switch like’)

Please do!

Good point! Edited my profile to have a ‘find me on Lemmy’ with my profile link! 'appreciated :)

Oh yes! You did! Feb 21st, to be precise!!! (I still haven’t played Ender Magnolia yet tho!)

My username (on reddit, and subsequently on Mastodon) was flwwhtrbt. Its pretty simple, just ‘follow the white rabbit’ - my fav scene from The Matrix.

I like the combination of Alice Through the Looking Glass, and someone following me into some dark journey to what you can do, run and eploit on systems :)

Hey all,

flwwhtrbt here (if you need to confirm it, you can probably reach out to my friend agaric on the SDP sub-reddit, or even go to my mastodon and reach out there - where I can confirm this in person!)

Nice to see the community kinda in place here, though it feels quite ghost-town-y

What plans are in place here?
