I mean it’s quite naive if you thought that they weren’t trying to profit off of you before the whole paid API debacle.

Not saying you didn’t, but we clearly valued things differently.

The long term loss of me leaving the platform is much bigger than the short term loss of me deleting my comments.

And lives. When your clothes gets tangled. Also, some farmers doesn’t want to walk around or climb through the tractor and climbs/jumps over the PTO. This usually goes fine for a while, but once every blue moon it catches a pant leg and you’re one farmer less.

Reminds me of a new story about 15-20 years ago.

Some girl with long hair had gotten her hair pulled into the axle of a gokart. It got such a good grip that it peeled her scalp back from underneath her helmet…

To be fair, it’s their prerogative. I left Reddit in protest of how they were using that prerogative, but I left my account open and comments undeleted for the people who might need it later.

At the time, trying to suggest that you can do these two things in that manner was not a popular opinion and as such received massive downvotes.

Mind you this is my lemmy-verse alt account, so no meaningful clues as to what I can contribute is found here.

«Shameless» copy of Apollo for Reddit.

Probably one of the best user experiences for any social media of any app.

I’m impressed at the speed of which they’ve copied it, but I really miss the Apollo account switcher where you’d long press your account name. In general the account switcher/manager in Apollo and it’s a bit sad they copied all of it.

Other than that great, and by permanent deblurring it made the user experience 10 times better for this lemmy.

You are arguing against a straw man.

Good luck with that.

Cool to know 🤘

Fully aware it’s unaffiliated, just that local settings was bad concept.

I definitely understand where you’re coming from, I was just attempting to debate cost/value.

I mean that’s not what I’m suggesting, but that’s kinda how the world works today.

Ideally you’d need a register of known hashes of material, but that’s not even enough either.

Proper fingerprinting would require a lot more processing power and a centralized source to vet against.

Super difficult topic tbh.

But I guess the moral is as always: don’t take pictures, or let anyone take pictures, that you don’t want to show to your parents or grandparents.

I mean since you brought up crypto I accept that as a given.

Just think that most people aren’t into crypto as much as those who are into crypto like to think.

Didn’t know GitHub sponsors was a thing.

Neat.

(Also: new sponsor).

If I can make one request (not that I feel you should be in any way honored to follow it up or prioritize it):

The local blur policy/implementation is horrible.

I want to just scroll through content. Everytime I log in I must update the settings.

http://wefwef.app doesn’t even give me an option to adjust it.

How big a proportion of potential supporters do you think would prefer to pay in crypto?

I’m in column A, but not column B. Just for “statistical purposes”.

This seems like a great start.

I’m sure you’ll find more corner cases as these rules start to be enforced.

I just hope you have the patience to see it through, although I’m sure some vocal people will get very up in your face about it.

IMO if you post something online you should be aware that it could (will) be copied and reposted.

Either by humans or bots made by humans to do just that.

Literally every time someone “views” a picture or video (or anything else you make available online) their device makes a local copy of it, and any proxy servers it passes through may even decide to copy it so it can be cached for later.

Apart from direct OC content most is older content being re-discovered, or new content from a studio.

Not a mod, but it seems fairly obvious that the interpretation of the rule must be that the content was made with consent, and posted online with consent. Not the re-hosting or re-linking in this instance.

And yes, the person in the content may later have a change of heart and contact the mods and say “please don’t keep this post of me up”.

I’ve seen lots of good content disappear this way, but it’s the subjects prerogative. There’s lots of creeps online that will do everything they can to make someone’s life a hell for posting adult content online.

The least we can do is be supportive when the subjects we objectify objects.

If we support people’s right to make adult content we must also support their right to withdraw that content to the extent possible.

Don’t even always have to be glued on. Had a girl I went to school with that had unrealistically large boobs already at 13-14. She was not overweight or anything but was already sporting a D-cup at 15.

Safe to say she was ogled by many teenage boys… and adults.

For apparent reasons I only browse LemmyNSFW in private mode. This also means that even though I log in I have to go reset my “local” settings every time.

Not going to demand or ask anything, but for me that UX doesn’t work well at all.

And depending on browser - local storage gets cleared somewhat randomly.
