• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨X has started reversing the throttling on some of the sites, including NYTimes'⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve never been an active Twitter user but it surprises me how much they do seem to be getting away with. Does it really not bother most people? Last time I logged in (before deactivating my account like a month ago) it seems like people I followed were still going about using it as usual. I suppose similarly I’m saying that here on Lemmy having migrated from Reddit - and Reddit is very much active after its own drama too, I guess.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Reddit Protest Is Finally Over. Reddit Won.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  +1, I wouldn’t have even considered moving off of Reddit until all the drama that had happened but once it did - and I found out about Lemmy - I’ve been happily more active on here in my communities of interest. Only reason I go back to Reddit these days is to encourage others to give Lemmy a go.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Netflix says people just kind of rolled over and accepted the password sharing crackdown⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah that’s fair enough. Tbh, I’ve only watched 1 series on Prime - Upload - but otherwise can’t really recall what else I’ve watching on there (it’s probably been a few months since I’ve even opened it). I buy heaps of stuff on Prime though so that’s my main use although I do like Music too as some of the podcasts I listen to are ad free on there (eg. Smartless, The Lowe Post).

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Netflix says people just kind of rolled over and accepted the password sharing crackdown⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Personally, the value proposition for Netflix is really lacking compared to Amazon Prime (which also comes with prime video and Amazon music) and Apple One family (which also comes with Apple Music, extra iCloud storage, Apple TV and Apple Arcade) which I have so it was pretty easy to cancel my Netflix subscription.

  If I could bundle Netflix with something else it might make it worth it but comparatively the content on Apple TV is so much better than anything Netflix have at the moment, in my opinion (really enjoying Silo atm but have loved Ted Lasso, Severance, The After Party amongst others).
