Do you believe that on a social platform like this, democracy is the best policy when it comes to what is shown and what is not?

Ah, the Internet equivalent of “I know you are but what am I?”…
“this thing that doesn’t affect me at all annoys me and shouldn’t be visible”
There’s other people here who like the transparency. Literally all you have to do is keep scrolling…
No offense, but saying this almost completely disqualifies you from having this conversation about private messengers.
This drives me nuts. I like Chrome. It’s simple, it’s fast, the extensions I want run on it (for now), and I love the Google Account Sync because I have an Android phone. This greatly pisses off people for whatever reason, despite the fact I’ve never had a bad opinion about Firefox and love what they’re doing too, and I never criticize anyone for choosing Firefox.
As with everything open source communities need nuance and understanding, otherwise they start to feel like cults.
I love Linux. I love the flexibility it gives me and I enjoy tinkering when I feel like it and having something rock solid and reliable when I don’t. I don’t game on the PC, so this works out great for me. However, my use case isn’t everyone else’s, and part of the idea of giving people freedom to use their computer the way they want is accepting that sometimes they want to use their computer in a way that you don’t like.
Maybe that means using a proprietary operating system. Maybe it means using a search engine that you don’t like. But that is what works for them, and sometimes I think the open source people operate on the fallacy of “there’s two types of people, those who use FOSS and those who haven’t found FOSS yet”, and it’s just so obnoxious.
You think people go nuts when you tell them you prefer WIndows? Wait until you see their heads spin when I tell them that while I use Arch Linux, I also use Google Chrome, Telegram, Spotify, and Discord…
This is why I unsubscribed from the Android community. I love Android, I use nothing but Linux at home and really appreciate open source software.
But the FOSS…enthusiasm is starting to border on zealotry. It’s getting really unpleasant.
Oh I see.
I guess I’ll wait with baited breath for when you’re ready to hold people to that standard. I suppose until then you won’t understand why this is just embarrassing for Musk.
That’s the point of Twitter for users…“haha”.
The people running Twitter should act like professionals. If I was Mr Beast, I sure as hell would not even reply to such a tweet.
You understand that what content creators get paid by the platform is never anywhere near what the platform gets paid by the advertisers…right?
Using completely made up numbers, if Mr Beast is paid $1 by Youtube for every thousand views, YouTube may be getting paid $6 or $7 by advertisers.
Otherwise the monetization would never work.
Musk doesn’t have the funds or the revenue from Twitter to be able to compete with that.
Seriously…what a weird take. High resolution video is simply just nicer to watch, these guys are going a very strange direction with it.
“consumerism”? My dude, it’s pre produced video files. With hardware acceleration it takes barely any real processing power to play back 4k video.
You are not changing anything or making any difference in whether the world is “going to shit”. The Internet bandwidth you’re getting is being artificially choked by your ISP…always.
It feels like you think it’s some kind of moral victory and wanted to take some kind of arbitrary stand against “consumerism” and landed here.
Unless you actually have bandwidth limitations or don’t have a screen capable of displaying the content, lowering to DVD quality is achieving nothing at all.
It is when you’re publicly begging on said platform. The correct thing to do would have been to reach out over DM or even better, reach out to the production team that runs Mr Beast’s channel and begin conversations.
You know, like any other serious company might do.
The only reason he did this publicly is for the attention.
The progression of this app is just insane. Thank you again for all the hard work, it’s just such a delight to use.
This is such a wonderful app. The progress is incredible, and the app is so enjoyable to use.
Thank you!
I love this app so damn much. Thank you for continuing to persevere <3
Don’t forget to checkout Liftoff and Thunder, they are phenomenal Android apps. Also, both Boost and Sync are going to be launching early versions of their Lemmy apps soon!
Absolutely loving the new UI changes. Thanks for being so transparent with us as well!
Congrats on not reading the post at all and writing something that literally has nothing to do with this thread.
It takes a special level of determination to be so completely clueless.
