But people here don't really care that much about celebrities being here and maybe not even their username being unique. Could probably be anon1, anon2, etc and it wouldn't matter that much, since real identity is probably not a draw for them. Focus on regular people wanting the userbase to want to use fediverse rather than celebrities which is an off-putting first impression and point of sale for lot of people here.

You need to pivot is what I'm saying to achieve what you want.

I'm not here for celebrities and they will always flock to centralized platforms anyways, since they are all about the views.

Yeah I thought it would be like that awesome trailer back in the day.

Sailing is so much better than managing when to stop and continue payment for the dozens of streaming services.

I wish there would be more Edgerunners type releases where it's a companion piece rather than a direct adaptation which allows for way more creative freedom and less burden of being compared.

I enjoyed memes back in the forum days because they weren't frequent with it being more discussion base, so when they showed up it'd have a tendency to actually be funny. But, move towards generating meme content quickly diluted the experience of memes with forcing of memes.

I never tried anything other than old.reddit.com. And I'll never try the dreadful reddit app. Redesign has always been trash and terrible at loading content and pushes trash topics at users.

Current system seems like capitalists dream of underpaying employees as much as possible and having the narrative pass the blame to be between customers and workers.

And even better that workers will argue against actually being guaranteed a higher salary in favor of this system on the off chance they might get more. Sort of like gamblers who get off the high of that one big win. Either way, the shift away from having to pay full salaries and benefits is cause for celebration for owners, since they love that it's more likely they don't get blamed and instead the customer when the owner has enough money to take home profits and live well instead of struggling like their employees being paid the bare minimum.

It's pretty much the absolute ideal situation for them. No blame and lower expenses. And most wonderful part of it all is workers being expected to cover the salaries of other workers as opposed to the people at top, so they continue to win in every facet.

With the state of games at launch how many are there that you'd want the unpatched version.

Also there is Jedi Survivor

Same I know him from The Boys and never thought of him as the nepo baby, but now I'll always be reminded of that. Didn't know he was Meg Ryan's kid either.

I would be grateful to be in a position to be called a nepo baby. That means my life is pretty good and I wouldn't want to struggle unnecessarily if I don't have to.

If I were him only thing worse than being called a nepo baby would be my mom coming out publicly to tell people not to call me a nepo baby. That's like further drawing anything to the issue and as embarrassing as a student would be of their parents loudly telling everyone in school to not be bullies.

 

Would make it easier to keep track of what filters I have in place and delete duplicates

 

I've liked using the keyword filtering for communities, but sometimes some keywords are too broad so that's when I'd like to be able to filter out the specific community instance so an example being community@instance

It's something I came across on Boost which I liked. It's called mute there. Would help keep specific communities from popping up when I'm browsing as a guest on an instance where I'm unable to use the account based community filtering.

 

I would like to be able to export the settings I have for Connect so in case I ever have to reinstall this app I can restore all the settings I had for it instead of redoing everything manually.

 

Not something I've seen even in a reddit app before. So the first of its kind I've encountered.

Incredible and makes browsing /c/all so much better, and I don't have to individually block new versions of communities anymore.

And ability to change view between list and card without having to go into settings is also fantastic.

 

So it blocks communities with certain keywords in them like anything containing 'meme' as an example.

Would be an amazing feature, since blocking communities becomes wack a mole with the amount of duplicate community names that pop up from different instances.

 

Currently have to open them, but would be nice to able to skip a step.

 

Maybe view switch option could be in hamburger menu

 

Like an example would be this url. It would be nice to be able to check where a link goes to before committing to clicking it and being sent to the url provided.

 

Browsing locally through it to find new communities that might not have been added to the instance I use has been very helpful.

It's a killer feature I keep using and has me coming back to liftoff.

 

App is great now. And I like being able to add other instances and being able to view all or local from that instance to find new communities to subscribe too.

Only thing I've been missing has been blocking is only effective for the instance or instances you are logged into, so having something that filters everything without account dependency would be great.
