This place is becoming an echo chamber.
I don’t doubt that there are bots in the comments on Reddit (as if that can even be disputed) but pretending like nobody could possibly just not be interested in moving to lemmy is wrong. There’s lots of teething troubles here still which need to be resolved before most people will consider it. Whinging about astroturfing comment sections isn’t gonna make dankmemes or pcmasterrace come to lemmy.
Actually it’s not as easy as yout make it sound.
If you Google “Lemmy” you get images of the guy from motorhead. I’ve even done site searches with specific instances and a lot don’t show up at all. Beehaw, sh.it, and kbin.social were very difficult to find with Google.
I use Bitwarden for both passwords and TOTP. So much easier than messing around with multiple apps.
I agree with this. Context is important and it should be clear.
Not gonna lie, I’ve just had a look at the feed just now and it’s becoming noisy. It would be nice to not have to sift through so much chaff to find wheat.
I know there’s strong feelings about curated feeds around here but it should be up to the user to decide what they see for the most part. At least, they should be able to decide what they don’t see.
I was a bit disappointed when Final Fantasy VII got a remake, which was mostly great gameplay with dated graphics, when Final Fantasy VIII got a remaster, which had quite poor gameplay but was graphically superior.
There’s a ton of PS1 titles that would benefit from a remake. Silent Bomber, G-Police, and Disruptor come to mind.
Another Podcast Addict user here. But I don’t think they pay the Podcasters anything if that’s your concern. If you’re listening to Joe Rogan, don’t pay him a penny. Pirate the shit out of his podcasts. But maybe you should consider giving to Patreon if you don’t already. They take a cut but at least you know its going to the podcaster.
Also you really should know that Tidal isn’t paying anyone any better, no platform is. They’re all beholden to rights holders, and that is mostly record labels and their parent companies. No platform pays per stream, that’s a myth. Spotify just distributes all the money left after their 30%. Blame the labels for making audio so unprofitable and for the average listener for treating music and podcasts as disposable,
Before you think I’m defending spotify, I’m not. They tried to make an unprofitable product profitable and they did it by selling out to record labels. Spotify could have made them irrelevant but chose not to.
