This post is Meta.

On a serious note, can we appreciate Meta's marketing team for the timing of this announcement. They waited for Twitter to bleed to kick it in the shins.

Oh, this is lovely. Thank you.

 

I wasn't sure where to ask so I chose here. The other day I saw a post encouraging people to spread the load on lemmy.world and jump onto other instances.

I've decided to take one for the tea and do it even though my account is like 2 weeks old 🫡

However, how do I find physically local instances? In the post mentioned above someone gave a link that shows some sort of a map(?) where such information could be found. Could someone hook me up with it please?

I feel your sentiment. But it's more about our impression that everything on the internet should be free.

There are people that hate subscriptions, paywalls, adds or that their personal data being sold. And yet they want to use all the services such as Netflix, YouTube, Facebook, etc. People want to have their cake and eat it too.

I am not saying that the number of adds and prices are not getting out of control but it makes sense to me that if I am not paying directly for certain services, I am paying for them with my personal data or an advertiser is paying for me instead.

There is like 5 apps I think available on android.

Technically you pay to use Youtube by watching adds. People sometimes forget that there are no free lunches.

I live in UK an I have seen ads every few posts. Have you been using it for long? Do you use some sort of VPN or network wide adblocker? Or maybe you didjtn realize they were ads as they are disguised as posts.

Well, new Reddit might easily mean better but also diffderent Reddit. Also, I am not sure whether people actually call it a new Reddit. Most of the time I heard the destription was a Reddit alternative which by definition doesn't imply that it's identical or even better in all ways.

My theory is that they are being sneaky and this is a trial to see how it will affect Twitter if they only made it to registered users. That is why they are calling it a "tech" issue. What a bunch of bollocks. This way they can backdown if they see a negative impact by claiming that they "fixed" the issue.

It would take way more but the first step it would be to remove religions. And not only because most are not peaceful in principle but also because some religions see others as a target. Even small difference in beliefs could spark a vicious and long standing conflic, like Catholics Vs protestants.

It causes 37.7% increase not matter how much you consume of Aspartame.

I've just started using Wefwef after Jerboa became incompatible with Lemmy 0.18 and having try 3 other Android apps and I have to say that I am loving it so far.

The only thing that I noticed that bugs me at the moment is that I can not seem to be able to aorty by Top (Day, Week, etc.). Interestingly Thunder has the same issue. All the other apps I tried allow me to do that.

 
 

I am loving the app but the only thing that I am missing or not sure how to do is to find out what particular comment a reply is refering too.

I used to use Infinity for Reddit and you could click on the reply to see individual comment thread that this reply was related to.
