Do you have ‘hide read posts’ checked in your profile? That option hides your own posts, too, because naturally you’ve read them.
How do you think Meta and other similar companies attract advertisers? They sell ad space to them with the ability to highly target ads to their users.
That’s what I mean by sell - they are literally letting advertisers buy ads to target to all of the people who they’ve gotten information about that would most likely click on and convert to buyers. Non-targeted ads are significantly less valuable from an advertising standpoint because if they don’t apply to you, you’re more likely to ignore it and the advertiser is getting less money back on their ad purchase investment.
I love how you say ‘almost every app’ and then your three examples include two Meta apps and also Twitter. Their whole business models are to gather as much as possible to sell.
Not every app needs your health data, financial information, and usage data to send short messages to their friends. I get wanting a certain amount of data in order to do certain things but needing basically everything possible frankly SHOULD BE eye opening to people if they didn’t already know.
I mean, did anyone think it wasn’t basically spyware?
When you’re trying to find a community, in the search type in the whole URL. So for your example you should be able to make the instance find the community by typing in https://hobbit.world/c/hobbit_art in search all.
Like so:
Considering Meta mines as much data from as many people as possible just to advertise to them and also they can’t even launch Threads in the EU right now because of how aggressively it tracks literally everything about their users and Threads’ only purpose is to gather more data to sell to more people, I think that alone is worth not letting them play.
I gotta say, sometimes I miss my fully customized LED on my blackberry back in the day. It could be in the bottom of a gym bag and I’d still know if I missed a Google Talk message (green) or a Facebook alert (dark blue) or an email (light blue), etc etc etc.
So you’re saying you don’t want insightful, thoughtful comments from u/rimjob_steve this time around?
Swipe commands. Right to left short swipe is comment.
Left to right short swipe is upvote, long swipe is downvote.
On the feed screen, top right can change your feed - all, local and subscribed are the options.
They’ll probably get mad that people can take their ball and go home by going to another instance without ads and signing away access to all of their personal data but get the same content. If they defederate, to me that’s the trash taking itself out.
Go to profile - accounts - change account settings and there should be a delete account button there.
If you have the TestFlight version, Gavin will still be pushing updates there first, but if you want the stable releases only, feel free to go to the App Store.
If you want to rate the app, you can’t do it with a TestFlight version so you have to go to the App Store version to rate it, but you can switch back after.
Hey cod, yeah we’ve been pestering poor Gavin and Sean and Teflo and everyone else for weeks, but this is a huge milestone day!
Really? That’s too bad, I recommend sending a bug report via GitHub so the dev team can fix that.
I recommend putting in the bug request and feedback in GitHub so the devs will see it and fix bugs like that. The beauty of open source :)
When you’re in your feed, top center should say your username and instance. If you tap that, it’ll pull up a dropdown with all of your added accounts.
I’m not a dev but there is a quick account switcher, just add in your accounts through settings and top center can switch accounts on the fly. I have 2 accounts and switch between the two when one instance is hiccuping. I know some others have a SFW and NSFW profile, haha.
Memmy’s on the App Store now. It does still have a TestFlight if there are any spots available but the app store’s version is currently up to date.
