  • because they don't have some little additions that make a bigger impact on my workflow than I'd expect. like being able to add an empty home screen to make my KLWP setup work properly. or using folders in the app drawer. or swiping sideways on the home screen to launch an app. and so on.

    1. marketing
    2. not having to pick the instance when registering
    3. people who have experienced Mastodon's hermetic culture discouraging others from joining
    4. algorithms helping discover people and content to follow
    5. marketing

    and I'm saying that as a firm Mastodon user and believer.

  • are they federated with each other?

    no. there's a sort of a third party bridge, but it requires an account on one platform to follow a bot in order to show up on another, so if someone on Bluesky doesn't explicitly do it and you're using Mastodon, then you're not going to connect.

  • Since they are integrating a web browser in the app

    are they, though? I thought they just grab whatever data Invidious API fetches and display it with their method of choice, similar to how mobile clients for Invidious and Piped work. PlasmaTube manages to do similar thing without becoming a single purpose web browser.

  • Invidious or Piped are great options, that also let you hide all the distractions like suggested videos, the toxic dumpster fire that's the comments section, and so on. Piped even implements SponsorBlock without needing to install the addon.

  • Google told 404 Media in a statement that “All advertisers must comply with all applicable laws and regulations as well as our Google Ads policies, and when we identify ads or advertisers that violate these policies, we will take appropriate action.” The company said it had removed CMG from the Partners Program after a Google review. Amazon told 404 Media in a statement that “Amazon Ads has never worked with CMG on this program and has no plans to do so.” The company added that if it becomes aware that a partner is in violation of its marketing guidelines, it may take what it sees as appropriate action.

    so yeah, sounds like the company's claims might not be completely true if they're boasting about working with Amazon.
