It’s very… dramatic over there, and I know it’s supposed to be a beta (trust me, I know) but there seems to be a lot of missing functionality. I pop in every few days and it’s like there a new moral outrage about bluesky each time.
Do not disassemble.

It’s mostly true, but not entirely. The data “on the internet” has to live somewhere. For instance, when you DM someone on a social media network-- would you consider that private? I assure you the content of those messages can be read by the website’s admin-users.
If you’re hosting your own non-social web service (like, personal cloud storage or something), then that is arguably private for you, but if you let someone else also use it, then it is not private for them, because you can almost certainly see their file content, having access to the server directly.
Encryption can throw all of this off; a service like Signal is private-- the admin-users of Signal can’t see your messages. Generally speaking any service that warns you that all your data will be lost if you forget your password is probably private. If they can recover your data, they have access to your data.
Edit: Better word choices.
He’s probably laughing his ass off at this form of “protest”. It’s functionally equivalent to when people get mad at a company so they buy their product and destroy it on social media.
Think about what Spez wants, and do the opposite.
I feel like Spez doesn’t give two tiny rat shits about anything but the fact that this counts as more engagement, which he can leverage to call Reddit more valuable.
It should be one giant fediverse ad.
I think many of us are using reverse proxies, and opening port 443 (https) and maybe port 80 (http).
It’s a shot in the dark, but are you running a vpn on your phone? That might mess things up.
I used reddit in a way where I would check out my front page, and then go to my favorite (smaller) subs to specifically look for things that wouldn’t make it to the front page. Unfortunately, I’ve not followed through with that after leaving reddit, because I’m on kbin and it’s pretty annoying to get to your followed magazines (as they’re called), and I see indications about making some of them “favorite” but I don’t think that functionality actually exists yet.
I’m sure it will get there eventually.
I was very young, 4 or 5, and I was taking a nap in the afternoon. In my dream my mom told me she would only ever make spaghetti and meatballs for dinner for the rest of my life. I liked spaghetti and meatballs, but I didn’t want to eat only that forever. My grandmother woke me up because I was crying in my sleep.
This is my earliest memory.
Manager is the highest. (I think there are only two tiers anyway.)
There is something uniquely wrong with your setup; this is not a general google router issue. Which is good news, you don’t need a new router. The next obvious step (for me) would be to wipe the data for the Home app on the phone and re-set it up. If that doesn’t resolve it, you might consider resetting the router itself to factory, though that could be more annoying.
I have even noticed that google (my search engine of choice) has been showing reddit links further down the page; they used to be at the top for most of my searches (linux, gaming, coding type stuff). Which is appropriate, because just the other day I found a reddit post via google that had my exact issue and clicking though to it, the person who answered the question (and got a “thanks that did it” from the OP) had deleted their comments.
I think it’s overall good. A vote is no longer an anonymous action-- it’s personal, just like leaving a comment supporting or disagreeing would be. While I don’t think it would ever be appropriate to harass a person because they up/down voted something, I do think people should have to make the mental calculation about whether they’re willing to have any specific up or down vote available for anyone to see.
Port management works on mine for creating forwarded ports. Could it be that you don’t have the proper access to edit these settings?
If it matters, my home app is version 3.2.1.7 (Found under Settings -> Support)
Upvotes mean “people should see this”. Downvotes mean “there is no reason for anyone to see this”.
Those of us on kbin can see who up/downvotes. I’ve noticed, anecdotally, that once this became more wildly known, there have been fewer downvotes that mean “I disagree”, with them mostly being used on troll posts or obviously bigoted posts.
Google’s built-in chatbot search “experiment” seems to do the same thing. It’s kind of neat.
I think the person you replied to is still stuck in the mindset of a siloed product, like reddit. Federation across instances means that there’s little commercial value in any specific instance, in my view. If any specific instance was sold, and an attempt to monetize arose, I suspect people would simply abandon it for a new instance.
As an aside, lemmy/kbin need to implement a way to export/import follow lists.
It’s funny because lately I have been applying that quote to people being terrified of “AI”. (I hate that we use that word to describe stuff like LLMs, but that’s another topic.)
There are countless points in history where a technological advance has rendered some human labor less or no longer needed. There’s nothing to be done about it; that’s how progress works-- it’s why we’re not mostly farmers anymore.
The solution to technology rendering human labor less or no longer needed is for society to divorce the need to work from living a comfortable life. It’s certainly not to try and hold back or eliminate the technology solely to protect human labor.
Don’t be terrified of “AI”.
Right about what? Using whataboutism to spread russian propaganda?
I kind of get what you’re saying, but what you might be missing is that we are long past the point where politics is just a disagreement on how to achieve the same general goal. The mainstream GOP is full on pro-bigotry, anti-freedom, and if not openly fascist, they sure do seem to do a lot of fascist-like things. This is not hyperbole.
Additionally, money is (and always has been) the lever to obtain power, so knowingly giving money (directly or indirectly) to a person who will use that money to promote or assist these kind of beliefs becomes a moral question, not a financial one. You may not want to believe it is so, but it is so.
I am mostly judging by the “hot” feed, since I only follow a few people that I knew via Twitter, and to a significant degree you’re right-- there was the same kind of drama on kbin and lemmy when I joined. (I checked out threads for ~30 seconds so I can’t say about there) I don’t remember anything like that on Mastodon, but I’m sure it’s there. It seemed more rapid-fire on bluesky. Specifically there seemed to be a lot of hate against the devs on Bluesky for various reasons.
In any event, it’s a pretty big echo chamber right now but that’s to be expected while it’s in invite-only. I’m sure it will settle out when it opens up to the general public.
