They are legally obliged to, lmao. After companies become public, they have to maximize profits, if not, shareholders can simply vote to fire whomever they want. Look at every company on earth. They all with the same road. from facebook, google, to soon-to-be-public reddit.
Exactly. Kids grown in high volume of surveillance (e.g. my nieces) end up being more aggressive towards rules, which creates people who think rules are there to be broken.
This is very true. We had to fix all the shit happens to our systems and stuff. But now, they have perfected by implementing this restrictive environments like mac os, chrome os, and stuff like this (windows is trying to implement same thing these days too). So, their devices don't break. They don't have to learn how to fix that.
unfortunately it is not the case for most of countries. For example, here, in Azerbaijan, rural public transport basically doesn't exist, and in capital city - Baku - schedules, traffic, prices... They all suck. We only got underground metro, but as that is only sane transport, everyone uses it and on critic hours it also suck. Sadly.
When Sync got released, I was feeling guilty using it (as a jerboa user). But over time, I got used to it. It makes me use lemmy on my phone too, so I still consider this step in a better direction.
Functionality wise, I dislike icons and app icon on jerboa.
The traffic indeed increased. It was the same for twitter too. Elon did report that twitter usage is at an all time high now.
The main reason is probably people getting interested in controversy. E.g. me. I was visiting reddit maybe once a month, but after these changes, I was visiting it daily.
I'd love to subscribe to premium, but in my country they have disabled it. It is basically not possible to remove ads even when I want to pay, lmao. So, duck them, give me my vanced/revanced
Exactly, for this community is to blame. People mostly are against even minimal and anonymous surveys, telemetry and stuff. So, all they can do is just assuming that people want something or not.
Usually they are talking to active community members, whom, we all know that programmers and technical people.
Btw, is Herman Miller chairs really that good? Or is it the branding and history that makes all of us think they are good, but in reality they are just meh, average, or slightly above average?
Switched to Linux - Fedora, PopOs, Mint 5-6 years ago, never looked back. But there is 3 months gap, when I built my PC I installed windows on it and used for some time. The worst computing experience I had in last 5 years.
Guys, I understand why company like Meta would like to federate with us. I know, they might require some kinda paperwork to federate with other instances and call it "anti terrorism, anti racism", etc. However, currently, we need their userbase to be able to use lemmy. Only in that case, people might consider switching to lemmy or other microblogging platform.
People are just too stubborn to even think about switching services. We need to keep this bar very much low, so it is easier for them.
To be honest, I dont think this is that good of an idea. We need to stop talking about profile, but focus on the content in it. People like me could be able to follow friends and family over on threads, which could help in terms of user lock in.
Blocking them could be good idea if lemmy was big enough to compete.

lmao. Even after disabling toggles, they got choices like:
