You may have inadvertently stumbled into this thread on kbin.social's all federated content feed or similar, but this thread is on the pawb.social instance. You can't exactly march into the furry den and then complain that the place is chock-full of furries.
This is definitely something that's going to take some adjustment with the "threadiverse", I think. Not only do you need to check what the community culture is like, you also need to check what the instance culture is like.
I don't want to be a jerk, but maybe don't look at content from PAWb.social if you're going to be a dick to its members simply for existing in their space. If it's truly an issue, KBin allows you to block the group (but I don't think it easily allows blocking the whole instance).
The Fediverse is awesome since it allows us all to seamlessly communicate with each other, but keep in mind we are all individual groupings of communities and looking at where the content comes from needs to become second nature. If too many people from KBin are jerks to these folks, they'll just disconnect from us and call it a day since all the good conversations in the world don't really matter if they're being treated like dirt.
With that said, even if they were talking in a KBin instance though ... seriously, it would have cost you nothing to ignore and move on (or block and move on if it really rustled your jimmies). Hell, even downvote and move on! This isn't a matter of someone being a shit-stain on humanity, it was just them using the word 'paws' to refer to a few appendages, what's the big deal? They're not asking you to do the same.
Someone in the Fediverse (I don’t know where and who) posted that you have to add the following filters into U-Block Origin. When done you shouldn’t see any anti-adblock-warnings :
Thank you! I was aware of Invideous and I tried that in the past. However, Invideous-redirected videos always seemed to be slow, then disconnected or I experienced buffering. I’ll give the firefox extension for libdirect a try. I tested it and it seems to work flawlessly.
We can’t even get to a point where we have 3rd party apps supporting RCS on Android. I don’t really trust Google’s ability to deliver on and continue to support new products.
whatsapp's killer feature was "no killer features, just a messaging app with number-bound IDs and good UI that even my grandma can use with minimal setup". for anything like that again I'd change, but the minute they think they need to add something like numberless IDs, or stickers, or a social media feature, or a payment system, they can fuck right off.
WhatsApp killer feature was "No paying for SMS ever, just your data bills", which was much lower than SMS fees in many many countries, which also explains the popularity of WhatsApp outside of the USA and in many Asian countries.
And it was tied to your phone number instead of a login ID, so anyone with a WhatsApp sign up could interact anyone else who had it, instead of having to find your contacts again like with a new IM service.
It's not a killer feature that they need, they need user base. There's no reason for people to leave WhatsApp, as long as people can use it.
Here in Brazil, the only surges in Telegram popularity and actual usage where when WhatsApp was blocked countrywide, and even then we had several people downloading the shadiest VPNs out there just to log in on WhatsApp
Google’s inability to stick with something despite its flaws and working on making it better over time, but instead constantly scrapping and renaming services is why I don’t bother investing in any of their experimental projects. Why should anybody waste their time getting used to something if google is just gonna ditch it after a while.
Committing to any new google products is just asking to be disappointment.
There is no culture of keeping and improving any product anymore, if there ever was.
I’ve always suspected that the reason Google keeps abandoning products is because they’re actually in it for the data. They’re not out to make a good RSS feed reader or a good music service, they’re interested in how people use feed readers or how people use music. Once they sucked all the data they wanted out of it they trash it.
There’s also data sources which they’ve never abandoned, like watching people’s location (baked into Android and Maps), or email, or photos, or files (Drive), and of course web search. Probably because the nature of this kind of data remains always relevant.
This is all very interesting for chat because they’ve been revisiting this product category so many times, trashing and re-doing chat clients in endless variations, as opposed to sticking to one or two (one for enterprise and one for regular people, for example). Not sure what that says about chat as a data source. Either it’s a particularly challenging category, or it keeps evolving so Google keep discovering new angles that are worth mining.
