My opinions are my own.
Their products require their app, would this effectively turn their devices useless when the servers die?
I know it supports a single button to start cleaning, but I wonder if that will work properly without being able to call home.
Might be time for people to look for alternatives.
Banning people in games is extremely difficult, annoyingly so.
Hopefully our AI overlord will be benevolent
Maybe, but I was on the internet as a teen and that went fine, being careful is a general thing in life.
But more importantly: adults have a phone and use it during work ALL the time. So I’m not so sure about the average age of the people commenting on here.
Interesting report. Might give Mastodon a try someday, I quit Twitter a little bit before the acquisition.
Sounds like a good solution for people who are on larger instances, my instance does not host any communities sadly.
I like that view, and it made me think of a possible “implementation”/“fix” as well:
The largest issue here that I can see, how do we treat “new” comments to a post?
My annoyance is primarily with the fact that I see the same image 3x in a row, on a fairly regular basis. I might unsub from a few communities that share the same content.
One of my largest pain points with Lemmy is that there are multiple active communities for the same topic, causing quite a few duplicate posts to show up in my feed that is difficult to filter. Hopefully there comes some kind of solution, outside of userbase, this is (what I believe) one of the larger issues compared to Reddit.
However, I still switched over to Lemmy for my primary ‘Reddit’-needs.
I stayed away from Chrome alternatives, as it had the best Canvas/HTML5 performance (Which oddly enough, was quite important for most of my browsing needs). However, this news means I will have to switch. Installed Firefox for my primary browsing needs, and a few Chromium-based ones to try out for specifically the aforementioned use case.
Makes me happy to see it, a future for a platform that is not locked by a single large player. Instead, I can have my own profile that I actually own and do not “lend”.
