Good old minimum character validation
It looks like they have their own "vibe" and rigorously enforce it in their own community. That's fine, it's their service after all. Feels a bit strange to turn away potential new users when people are looking for viable alternatives
Was really keen on tildes for a moment when we were going through the exodus stage with Reddit. I wasn't keen on the closed invite system.
I get they want to keep their own community and that's fine, but it's a shame they wanted to limit their growth in a time when people were looking for alternatives
The constant attack on healthcare across western countries is starting to become pretty horrifying. Not liking where this is all going
Good to get awareness out there, the more people who know about these federated alternatives the better, even if it means having to use Reddit (where there's still a huge population of potential converts)
Ubisoft will delete your account if you haven't logged for some time (Even if you owned games in it)
And companies wonder why no one wants to use their shit over steam, case in point
He'll just have to budget a bit more, tough economic times and all
Yeah if I were one of these devs and saw this thread I'd be pretty disheartened. It's been like 4 weeks or so and people seem to expect a boost / sync / baconreader experience for a platform that for the majority is brand new.
Cheers to the hard working devs making apps ❤️
The worse was the disingenuous removal of the Pushshift API. Framing it like devs have been using that API for things they didn't envision (like unddit using it to retrieve deleted comments so you could see if an admin deleted a genuine comment or if it was just hate speech)
Terrible situation overall.
Yeah I think people are underestimating how much time was invested. Imagine if Gmail just up and vanished and you had to use something else after being so invested, ofcourse people are going to be talking about it for ages until the annoyance passes
I'm not overly keen on the 15 seconds micro-content that sites like TikTok and YouTube (shorts) are pulling. It creates the most densely packed, quickly paced content I've seen and it feels like people are now addicted to quick bursts of info.
It feels like that type of content is doing to reduce people's already awful attention span, I've already had mates who can't read threads, articles and comments because it's too slow, terrible

The critiques that Steve laid out in this video were perfectly fine, highlighting the shortcomings of LMG when it comes to actually reviewing content (which is what they're pivoting to, away from 100% entertainment content). A typical Linus arrogant take where he'll learn nothing.
