Yeah hard pass on the subscription based auto pilot. Everything is going to be subscription based soon enough.

Hahahah phew!! I use Memmy and I can reply from my inbox and it didn’t have the OP badge shown there.

Agreed that no hostility should be shown to admins who run and operate their instances without expectations of payment. Harassment in general is completely unproductive in any scenario. I just graduated professional school and am awaiting state licensing before I can work (hopefully the next couple weeks), after which I will gladly donate!

The biohazard in my mind was threads and it’s already been spilled. Instances defederating sooner rather than later us the containment. So destroy meta and we’ve destroyed the biohazard, hooray!

The balance of probabilities certainly makes sense and applies here. I don’t expect threads to last long.

I see both sides to it. I agree a biohazard spill should be contained immediately instead of letting it spread. On the other hand, we don’t want to come off as immediately hostile and want to have solid reasons for why we do what we do.

I’m enjoying the healthy conversation around it. I do have a hard time supporting the “wait and see” side and most things OP said are valid. Since threads isn’t immediately federating, we have some time before we start to see what the impact will be or if instance admins will change their minds.

I also want to defed from Threads, but I appreciate the mature and non-knee jerk reaction of these instance owners to stand by the “innocent until proven guilty” stance within the fediverse. I’m sure the leashes will be very short and defed will occur at the first sight of EEE. I think it’s appropriate to watch and listen before making decisions.

I’m choosing to remain optimistic that they will recognize it and shut it down immediately. Even tho I too despise corporations and wish them nothing but failure. I avoid Facebook and instagram like the plague because it just breeds negativity and hatred. I don’t think for even a moment that Meta is trying to turn a leaf.

I can block (unsubscribe) from corporate spam, just like I can block certain communities. But I don’t want to completely remove myself from ever receiving another email from a gmail/yahoo account all together.

People get complacent and resist change.

I agree. A part of me just wants to see Reddit completely death spiral because that means, people finally stood together for something and made a huge difference. That doesn’t seem to happen in my country so seeing it happen to Reddit gives me some hope that people do actually stand up for their beliefs somewhere!

Ah yes I’ve heard almost nothing about it other than what you just said. I want to give it a shot and haven’t really looked up too much about it so I can go in with as few spoilers as possible. I just need a computer first! I had a gaming laptop but the battery is spicy right now so I don’t go near it with a ten foot pole.

She looks so sophisticated for little old stardew. Which mod is this?

Haha probably!! I can easily self diagnose myself with it but have never formally gotten an evaluation. I’m so sorry you can relate

I recently home brewed my 3DS and looked into doing the same for my switch but I don’t have money to replace it if I brick it so I’m waiting. Agree that Nintendo are greedy bastards. If you already have a ton of steam games then a steam deck makes the most sense.

I feel you on the minmaxing AND playing wow for way too long (quit after legion). I inevitably fill my day with errands to the point I write them down to make sure my day is efficient. I’ve even restarted days because I didn’t, say, buy seeds and now the store is closed or even needing to catch the bus to give sandy a gift. But that usually starts happening mid summer when I’m feeling the pressure of bundle completion and some time consuming item. It definitely sucks the joy out of it.

I’ve heard the grip is much better on the steam deck! Sad to hear the screen is still subpar. I’m on the fence about getting one but seems redundant since I have a switch.

No! It’s dropped a couple seeds and a few more grew so I’m in the clear if lightning does destroy one haha
