Oh Lord please no.

I don't want to live with a clingy app that won't let me leave. Keep track of where you're at so you don't back all the way out of the app. Don't blindly mash the back button.

I wonder if that's legal. I would assume at this point someone somewhere has passed a law saying advertisements must be clearly and plainly seen as such. If reasonable people are even temporarily confusing ads for posts, that just feels like it's probably illegal.

I apologize if this has been answered somewhere but I have difficulty reading large amounts of text. It's literally bad for my health.

This should be easy questions though. I know instances can choose to de-federate other instances so that we don't see their content. Here are my questions:

  1. is this blocking automatically mutual?

  2. If it's not, and users of an instance we can't see can see our posts, can they comment?

I ask because I've been noticing the comment numbers don't match the actual number of comments and was just speculating as to why.

They've had fake accounts to try and make the website look busier and they've edited other people's comments. Is there anything else equally immoral they've done that I don't know about?

"We wanted the user to feel a sense of pride and accomplishment by struggling through the dog-shit Reddit interface."

"Non-commercial" is still going to kill all development for all the third party apps regardless. This is surprisingly worse than their original decision, because now they can try and pretend like it's other people's problems to make their website accessable.

I play Mech Arena every day. Usually only a couple of games. I never played Overwatch so I can't compare them, but I'm enjoying Mech Arena so far.

Most friendships are based around convince. After a long enough period, and a little intentionality, you drift into friendships that based simply on the fact that you're friends.

Take a moment and think about where you've met your friends over your life. School, work, sports, volunteering, your neighborhood, etc. These are all excuses to get together and see each other over and over that aren't focused on the relationship itself. After a little while, you figure out which people in the group you like that have the time and interest to be friends with you. You won't always get your way, but you can literally put yourself out there as much as possible and make friends when the opportunities arise.

You don't have to be the life of the party, you just need a reasonable excuse to see the same people over and over.

Wow, it turns out if your core identity as a party includes attacking the validity of robust scientific claims, then scientists don't like your party quite as much. Who would have thought?

I can see the first post from Beehaw on Beehaw while using Jeroba. I can also see that post using the web browser.

Make of that what you will.
