I agree. I also notice a constant push to ban anything that is deemed offensive, which in most cases is just a statement of opinion that someone did not like.

Nostr is ultimately the way forward and he knows it. Nobody controlling your identity other than yourself.

There is nothing wrong with wanting something you don’t need.

I just came in here, looking for these exact questions and was about to post them when I saw this thread

Marking posts as read also sync to the server? I know this was an issue in the past because it couldn’t be done as a batch? I know I posted some thing about this topic along time ago, and that was the answer.

I am also looking forward to doing community specific searches.

I just got a tag heuer solargraph watch as my every day watch but in your case I would get a nice citizen or seiko watch that can take a beating. I like quartz watches end even better solar versions because you can set them and forget them for decades.

It’s not worth getting this upset about this stuff. That’s my 2 cents.

I think Mlem lets you go directly to reader mode.

Agreed but it bugs me that I need to pay Reddit to not see ads and on top of that they get paid for the content we produce. The fediverse is a better model.

I don’t object to my content being used for training. I do object to Reddit profiting from that data. It’s the reason I basically don’t participate on Reddit anymore. Anything I post in the fediverse I am aware I am offering it up for free to be crawled and used as seen fit as long as it is not monetized without my consent. I don’t consider model training to be monetization.

It's this kind of nonsense that always makes me run back to my iPhone.

If RCS is such an awesome standard, why not mandate it for all EU phones? Apple already supports the current standard, which is SMS. The idea that they have to open up their proprietary software seems silly to me.

Yup. The effect for me has been that I simply go out much less often.
