Stopped using Reddit as soon as it was clear that they were destroying 3rd party apps. Occasionally a search result brings me there, but I try to avoid the site all together where possible.
Haven’t tried it, but I think it’s definitely a novelty. It’s way smaller than my Miyoo Mini and my hands get cramped trying to play games on it for 15+ minute sessions.
As some may have noticed, a fairly large portion of the post on this community are article links posted by bots. I am no moderator and am just a regular user like the rest of you, but I want to know what the community thinks of the posting bots. here is a sample of my opinion to get conversation started:...
The only posts bots should be making is mega threads for events. Content posted should be organic from the user to drive discussion and not what some bot wants to repost from Reddit/hn/etc.
I’ve already blocked several bots to improve my experience, since my feed was being overrun by bots posting to various communities.
I really want to nip threads in the bud. Besides blocking threads.net itself, defederate from any instances that do not. This is blatantly an EEE strategy and a united front is the only way to save what have been accomplished. Here is how Indivudals can do it on mastodont as an example to follow....
I’m all for individual users blocking Threads if they’d like to, but I think it’s a terrible idea for instance admins to make that decision for all of their users.
Personally, I don’t see why this is so controversial. I view it as a way to follow the celebs and organizations that would rather use threads, but from the comfort of Mastodon that is outside of Meta’s ecosystem.
ActivityPub and the Fediverse is designed to for natural selection to take place. So let it. The users that want to be part of the Fediverse are already here and won’t don’t leave based on what Meta does with Threads. Threads utilizing ActivityPub in the future justifies the means of the Fediverse more than anything else IMO. I despise Meta as much as the next person, but this is not the end of the Fediverse as we know it.
So with Spez having a hard on for Elon and how he runs Twitter, how long until we see this on Reddit? Premium members can view 1000 posts/day and regular members can only view 100 posts/day. Similar rule will apply to comments too.
I already opted out of my refund and tipped a few more bucks. Christian deserves every penny and I look forward to his next project. This was certainly a labor of love and I’m heartbroken for him in a sense.
I was wondering this myself, I currently use Cider to listen to my own music while playing games on my SteamDeck. Not sure what alternative I’ll be able to go to since I’m not leaving Apple Music.
Just to preface for everyone, the app has only been in development for a little over a month and is very barebones. Don’t expect even some of the most basic features out the gate and frequent crashes. It will be interesting to see how it matures and develops over time.

Has anyone given the Nano a go? I'm curious, but worried it's actually just too small for anything but novelty. (retrododo.com)
[META] So... about the bots

petition: Defederate any instances that federates with threads proactivly , add threads.net on blocklists everywhere.
