While likely true nothing is making you give them money to enjoy it.

I’ve been playing off and on since it came out and have never given them a damn cent, and have really enjoyed it.

Just did.

It went right to the “Saved on my iPhone” section of the Files app.

Sorta makes sense.

It’s like my generation not knowing how to fix cars because our fathers all did it.

Ever since like android 11 nothing saves in my download folder anymore on the SD card I have inserted.

Everything gets saved deep in the android subdirectory, and then somewhere in a folder named loosely after the app that downloaded it, where the app has made ANOTHER folder to put the file.

And then you can’t even move it with a third party folder app. It’s gotten so annoying lately I’d swear they just want to kill the SD card from android completely.

It’s like a white supremacy meeting.

I don’t even use Facebook nor have I ever.

I was more of a Google+ kind of nerd.

“Aspects of Instagram exacerbate each other to create a perfect storm,” said one internal report, which said pressure to share only the best moments and to look perfect could pitch teenagers into depression, low self-esteem and eating disorders.

“Issues like negative social comparison and anxiety exist in the world, so they’re going to exist on social media too,” Newton said. “That doesn’t change the fact that we take these findings seriously, and we set up a specific effort to respond to this research and change Instagram for the better.”

Yes it’s true, looking at pictures of pretty people all day can make some people feel less pretty about themselves. Shocking, I know.

Odd how you left out the part about them trying to use the study to make instagram better. Totally no bias on your part!

Would you be more or less upset if they didn’t care to study it at all? Genuinely curious how you think them trying to understand their platform better makes you angry.

Sir, this is a Wendy’s.

*holy shit y’all took this post seriously, what kind of extremism left Reddit?!?

What I don’t understand is why you don’t support us using our voices to support defederation.

Because you should let us adults decide for ourselves personally what content we want to see here, not attempt to block and censor stuff JUST BECAUSE TOU DON’T LIKE IT.

Let people choose for themselves, that’s all I’ve ever been advocating for here, user choice.

If the people overwhelmingly want it defederated from their preferred servers, then do it.

I don’t ultimately care if servers decide to block it, as long as it’s done properly.

People here deserve to have that choice, that was always the point of decentralization.

Or you could just not ask your admin to block Threads for everyone else if you personally don’t want to see it.

Seems pretty straightforward which option leaves users the choice to decide for themselves what they want to see.

That way neither of us has to pretend to give a fuck what the other thinks. Hooray!

Yeah bro I’m super curious why you get to decide for all of us what content we can see here. Please answer that I guess?

If you can’t find an instance to follow that federates with them, then that just means the thing you want is deeply, deeply unpopular.

MFer how you expect me to find any if you keep going around begging them to wholesale block access.

Just don’t subscribe to it, or block it yourself! You don’t get to decide for everyone else what content they can access here

Well fucking said.

“We need to defederate from them” is not a petition…

Also, you could just choose not to subscribe to them, go to a place where they are defederated, or even just block them yourself with the right apps.

That’s a whole lot of choice for you in a platform based around decentralization and user choice.

But on the flip side if you just make everyone defederate them, then you’re removing user choice completely just based on your personal feelings on the matter.

That doesn’t seem fair to me just because you personally hate something that I don’t.

Lol

People like OP here, begging admin to block it?

Like are you for real? He’s literally asking them to take my choice away.

But why do YOU get to choose for everyone else?

That’s true this place could really use less users.

Couldn’t just some of y’all defed instead of blocking it wholesale for everyone?

I thought one of the main perks of federation was user choice?

Me “it’s meant to help paralyzed people move and walk and live again, something previously deemed impossible”

You: goes off on some wild Elon musk fueled rage and says nothing about the point of the product

You might need to seek help if you get this worked up over something that heals people…
