Unlikeable asshole entity tries even harder to get people to like them. Results are mixed
- Comment on Nearly $109 million in deposits held for fintech Yotta’s customers vanished in Synapse collapse, bank says 4 months ago:
So glad I didn’t actually go through with opening a Yotta account. Maybe it’s not them directly that screwed everything up, but their money (their customer’s money) just went poof.
The finance system is sketchy enough, Fintech gives me the willies.

Well this is Interesting.
Video storage and bandwidth is probably my most pressing concern, but that’s the same as with peertube, no?
Speaking of which, are they going to consult with PeerTube for cross compatibility?

- Comment on Dear server admins, please defederate threads.net. Dear users, ask your server admin to defederate threads.net. 11 months ago:
Clearly you haven’t dealt with a Mastodon instance having a major defederation event.
For most users, regardless of the validity of the defed, the user experience is terrible. Their social graph just suddenly, stops working, the people they follow can no longer see their posts, all because of the actions of a few bad actors or administration failures.
This paired with the fact that maybe only Firefish or Misskey lets you (mostly) seamlessly migrate to a new instance with your data intact, and the lack of a standard way to see what followers you will actually keep when you migrate, means that the defederation experience is sucks, and migrating to a different instance to escape that is a pain in the ass.
Meta has already shown it has piss poor moderation in the best of times, and actively boosts incendiary content in the worst of times, all while collecting, profiling, and exploiting your data. It’s literally inevitable that they’re going to break the rules of all but the free-est of free speech Instances, so for the privacy, safety, and headaches of everyone in the fediverse, we might as well save ourselves the trouble.**

404 sprang up from ex-Motherboard writers when Vice Media went bankrupt this year. I think their articles are alright, because paying the bills as a journalist is very hard.

- Comment on Is there a way to block hexbear 1 year ago:
Oh, I literally just had a comment on my thoughts on it. Here is it pasted, since I don’t want direct linking to it. TLDR it’s probably majority those 14 year olds, not a false flag.
I don’t think they are pretending to be those things. They truly believe themselves and their interpretation of Marxism, Marxism-Leninism, communism and socialist projects to be true and just.
The only issue is that they come from a specific strain of western leftist that got into the “uwu dank Soviet club” meme of the mid-10s and never evolved past that understanding of the people, projects, policies and states they stan like a fandom. They could take some lessons from the anarchists tbqh, but they’d rather post PPB and “liberals get the wall”. Very annoying.

It technically has a seekbar, but it’s very hard to find and/or might be obscured by their capricious A/B randomized testing
