would be very cool if this let you log in with a Mastodon account!

agreed, redditors are welcomed in the fediverse!

16 years on reddit and same, don’t miss it, so long and thanks for all the fish

it is :)

wow, I looked it up and you weren’t kidding. absurd, how is the population OK with this?

thanks, appreciate it! (though I’m no longer leaving the mentions in replies so it was solved for me anyway, but I think for new users this will be very useful :))

Good strategy! I currently own 5 cars; 91, 93, 97, 09, and 11 (and the last two are a utility van and a base model hatchback with no electronics).

I had a job in college working on information security for automotive systems. I’m actually pretty good at fixing cars with electronics, but the DRM where you have to go back to the manufacturer is too far for me. If I can’t fix it with what’s in my garage, I’m not interested.

It’s also more eco-friendly than constantly scrapping/upgrading cars.

they are likely terrified of being sued under GDPR

I moderated a top-15 subreddit for over 5 years. reddit got so corporate so long ago that the 80% of the mods left are just on some kind of power trip. So no, I won’t ever feel bad for them.

I run a Thinkpad and my partner is an early adopter of the v1 Framework. She had quite a few early adopter issues on her leading me to believe the hardware polish isn’t there 100% (eg hinges too weak they had to release an upgrade, this broke the display cable and led to BIOS issues, etc).

I mostly agree, the one place I think Thinkpad could use more maintainability is in mainboard compatibility. Framework promises (TBD) Mainboard compatibility across upgrades, we’ll see if they deliver.

one UX improvement is also in replies. I comment from Mastodon, and because I’m replying to you my post will be federated to feddit.uk but not to your parent comment on feddit.de or the OP on lemmy.ml :|

added in March of last year, and not sure about third party apps since I use the official interface. I find it very useful though, between that, hashtags, public lists of people to follow, and boosts, I set my feed up in about 6 hours and it’s been on minimal-maintenance-mode since and serving me fine. depends on how much the niche communities you like adopt the Fediverse too, YMMV!

I find the “explore” page super useful for exploration! Spend a few minutes twice a day or so and the content quality is quite high, great place to branch out into boosts from. On my instance, I also do my best to curate the global feed to be somewhat useful (though things to creep in at the edges, I need to do some culling now for some Misskey bridges that are pretty loud in that feed).

@r1veRRR I was on social media both before and after algorithmic curation, and I find it no more interesting now (less if anything). YMMV.

feedback on the link bot, may be good to have it only reply once per thread/user combo, because the default Mastodon UX auto-inserts the reference into any future replies (but will start consciously deleting it!)

@crypto (ok what I didn’t realize is that this is also how you post a thread on Lemmy, so condolences to all the Lemmy viewers who already knew this <3 on the upside if you want a crypto-focused Mastodon UI, always open signups on this instance!)

@crypto you can also comment directly from Mastodon. different platforms become differnet skins on the same data, ain’t federation grand?
