Lmao $100. There are so many other services who's lifetime is less than that and aren't just a front end.
This is starting to feel like a pretty disrespectful cash grab. Sync Pro was my Reddit app but it was never a $100 service.
Edit: Ah so there's tiers now. $20 for ad free as an option too. Meanwhile you get a lesser focused experience because obviously anything worth a damn is going to be Ultra exclusive.
Edit2: Just tried out Connect for Lemmy. Feels really close to Sync with gestures and such. I recommend. I was sitting on Jerboa waiting for Sync, but not with this pricing. And I'm pretty sensitive to server hosters cost. It's insane instances are out here operating at a loss providing content for these apps and Sync wants use them to charge people to provide a front end.
I'd recommend Pocket City 2 for mobile. Probably the best casual city sim game I've ever played. It's like $5 maybe less and has no monetization stuff after that.
And the game has like the ability to walk around, drive cars and do activities as your avatar inside the city. It's new so the dev is still adding stuff. But it's wild to spend an hour setting up a nice district than race through it with an F1 car for money later.
YouTube tested an opt in feed on a group like the how the bell has like a sometimes notify mode to curate the subscription page but quickly canned that. It's like at that point wtf does subscribing even do.
Have you watched it recently? I would've said the same thing but I rewatched it like a month ago for the first time in years and that movie is a mess. Like there is a lot not working. Even the action is a bit meh. The whole structure still just begs more questions than answers. Zach really should've just been like "oh no we are in a video game, time for the robot samurai level" instead of girls imagining fighting samurai as they grind on a guys lap in a stripper prison inside of the reality of a psycho ward
I can't imagine how much the x.com domain costed him. Like I know most three or four letter domains trade hands for six figures sometimes since there's so few
if you, say, pulled a couple hundred grand out of your pocket to buy a house that the sellers would trust that it’s real and above board even if it were?
Well it says exact "change" so I think yes if you dumped a few hundred thousand $1 coins out of your pocket when it's time to pay they'll think it's sus lol
I suppose though if they refuse it you've already generated it and can scoop it up into a wheel barrow and see if a bank will take it. They may not care about the coins too much but they'll definitely be reporting a guy bringing in a few hundred thousand dollars in coins every now and again to the IRS.
If you age while you sleep though you loose like a third of your life. Like if it pauses you as well how would you ever wake up? You'd like grow a year older every 8 months.
It's apparently because it's Twitter based and Twitter shows likes and such. Kbin doesn't really have a like upvote downvotes thing. It's like a favorite and a boost. It's weird
I know this sounds dumb probably but 2 years is too short a time. Considering how email is basically the backbone of the Internet deleting old accounts after 2 years sounds nightmarish. People will be forever locked out of things. I even have like 6 Gmail accounts I use for different things. Like I’m going to have to login and rotate through them every now and again just to be sure.
Needs to be like five years or something considering they were presumably eternity before. You can still use Hotmail accounts.
If they recycle the email address so other people can use them that’s a whole other bag of worms. Like people.will find old email lists and try recreating them and seeing what they can get into. Expect your dead grandma to be suddenly posting on Facebook soon about great opportunities.
I get like emptying data out. Sure delete all their drive files and emails after 2 years but the account itself should never be.
It's an unfortunate reality but that's probably going to have to happen. Instances can't be expected to grow and maintain on pure goodwill. Some might get by with donations but it's pretty known that Mastodon servers that couldn't support themselves on donations vanished. It's a huge ask for someone to pay money, time and effort to run a server for perpetuity. Usually you can only ask for 2 out of the 3 lol.
We already saw the original lemmynsfw get overwhelmed and just want to shut it down and hand it to someone else because they were having to put in so much work.
Hopefully because Lemmy is opt in in every sense, instance owners can do an ad setup that isn't intrusive or over bearing.
Otherwise it's just the big instances that are donation covered that stay and grow and Lemmy just becomes centralized around 5 servers or something.
The Narhwal dev said this is how he's approaching it. You get so many calls with a subscription and then have to top off with more if you hit it. So Prepaid mobile plans are coming to your favorite 3rd party apps for a website that's free! People are desperate to give Reddit money even after all this.
Mastodon/Fed Twitter integration. You can post on a Lemmy community, tag a hashtag and it becomes a microblog (tweet) at the same time. But upvoted and downvotes are public on kbin. So depends what you want.
And in the long run we'll see if kbin can keep up with the Twitter like software on the Twitter side and if it can keep up with Lemmy for reddit features at the same time. Like Lemmy can focus purely on meeting Reddits features then passing them. Kbin has to worry and work on both.
They really were foolish to sell off Redgifs. Idk how they thought a normal gif hosting service was more profitable in the long run than their porn gifs site that caught on like wildfire. Everyone at the time was like 'wtf, sell the gify knockoff'
I haven't deleted my account entirely, really just to keep the username.
But I just shredded around 1500 comments and all my posts lol. My 200k karma account looks fresh as hell. I liked making memes and conversing in communities. Deleting some of the memes I made that were top for some of my communities hurt a little lol. Really hoping the communities flesh out better on Lemmy as time goes on. Really missing my inside jokes and conversations.
You must have something else going on. I'm on Brave and the site works fine. Even turning Brave up to the highest block settings and hard refreshing still has it working for me.
