It’s not implemented well because it adds it to your account immediately without needing to confirm the code. This means if the user doesn’t know what they’re doing they could add 2FA and not copy the code correctly to their password manager resulting in a lockout.

I won’t touch anything with Dorsey’s name attached. Yuck.

Before algorithms we all used hashtags. Hashtags were very important to Twitter in the before times. That’s how you find topics on mastodon. I have columns set with specific hashtag sets so I can quickly glance at toots about horror movies, birds, retrogaming, etc…

You can also follow hashtags directly in your home feed just like Twitter topics.

It’s really not a difficult thing at all, but people are so addicted to Twitter they always give a halfassed attempt at switching before throwing up their hands.

The biggest issue is normies are stupid. That’s basically the gist.

What if I told you we don’t need to compete with them?

I’m not seeing much at all of that currently. A week ago? Sure. Now it’s been consolidated to a mega thread.

Umm what the actual fuck? Did Florida just lowkey ban all trans people from their state? How is this constitutional? How do you even say someone is trans when they have an updated birth certificate ffs? This is pure insanity.

Trying it now. Thunder is really good but it feels like it’s designed for Android not iOS. Very “material you” feeling.

Musk started it with the extreme monetizing of Twitter. Cutting off api access, charging premium subs for reach, selling verified… and he got away with it. All the brainless Twitter users are still there using his platform and bitching instead of leaving.

Musk proved you can piss all over your userbase and they won’t leave. Now all tech companies are doing it. Meta is charging for verification. YouTube cutting adblock. Google looking to stop supporting adblock in chrome. Even Reddit CEO citing Musk as his inspiration going forward.

LEAVE these platforms, people. The CEOs are literally laughing at your stupidity while cashing checks.

Unlike previous attempts at trying reddit alternatives (like Voat), kbin and much of the lemmyverse doesn’t seem to be plagued with extreme far right buffoonery. (kbin.social)

It’s one thing to have differing views, but I’ve seen enough attempted reddit migrations to be relieved that the popular communities in the fediverse so far haven’t been about crazy racist stuff or other extreme right bullshit....

I’m so glad I signed up on Beehaw where I can flip my app to local only and makes these dog whistling conservative bigots disappear. It’s wonderful. I also never see any downvotes.

Keep. Meta. OUT. They will 100% try to EEE the fediverse.

Reddit feels like it's gone back to 100% normalcy already. Was the protest a failure? (beehaw.org)

I was looking at reddit today, and the front-page felt like nothing happened. I scrolled and scrolled and scrolled and clicked into comments. Everything is popping off buzzing with activity. All the subreddits I was subscribed to that went dark are now back up and business as usual....

I'm kind of torn on this. On one hand, yes reddit sucks, but on the other hand it's an extremely search friendly source of information. Does Lemmy even play nice with search engines? The one good thing I can say about a centralized community like reddit is everything is there and easily accessible. Whenever I search for something I need a quick informed answer on I already prefix it with "Reddit."

Unnecessarily hostile comment. We’re getting closer to a true Reddit replacement!

This 100% should make anyone furious.

I'll generalize you poutine imposters all I want!

That looks divine.

It’s a mastodon instance. Calm down.

Sorry I’m confused at your comment there. Care to elaborate?

I wish I had one!!! I wish I had saved all my tech over the years along with all my magazines.

African_Grey,

Do they still function?

It’s so beautiful 🤩

I'm going to disagree with basically everything you just said.

No need for insulting others.

Leave the google ecosystem. Embrace alternatives like Proton.

So sad. This was my go to app when I used Android.

Can’t wait to give this a try. Right now I’m on the latest Mlem build for Lemmy and it’s surprisingly good.
