If only it was that easy…

If you’ve seen the video and don’t find it funny, I don’t think that any explanation or context will help. I guess not everyone has the same humour

It’s pretty self-explanatory really… It’s just a fun advertisement

I wonder why it doesn’t render a preview though. At least not on Voyager client

It takes a third brain cell to realise that it’s not worth trying to change their mind

Alternatives are great if only people were using them.

No thanks to propaganda in here

It might be the other way around too though… You might be thinking of buying something, because Facebook or google have convinced you that you need it

That said, I had to create an account in FB due to work and studies. I did some research and decided to run it only on a browser and use a seperate browser only for FB. Along with some strict privacy rules.

My account was flagged within 30 seconds of creation. They asked for a selfie ID that they got and they did a manual assessment but banned the account nonetheless for not following community guidelines

You can’t even read their community guidelines without accepting their cookie policy

Keep me informed!👌👍🤞

Same!

It needs an app (edit: that is available through Play store or the corresponding apple shop)

And it needs to render uploaded videos to the maximum allowed file size. Regular people don’t know how to make their videos smaller. I only managed to do it by uploading to you tube the then downloading it from there. Then it was small enough to to be uploaded to loops

Also, easier sign up and more content

Whenever parts go up, it impacts pricing. Whenever parts go down, it impacts profit

I’m not surprised that they are against it but very surprised that they so blatantly expose their reasoning. If you don’t buy my product, it’s not good for me, therefore it is not a good idea 🤷

It’s a sliding slope though. The initial reasoning is fair. But it will eventually spread to other features like (potentially) creating and owning servers or holding administrative and moderation roles

It’s the same with the chat control currently looking over EU. Nobody can say that they are against efforts to stop CSAM. The issue is that the efforts don’t limit themselves to fighting that. Likewise the age verification on Discord does not seem to be targeted or limited to certain content. They are leaving the door open to use it any way they want

The real problem is, that the majority of users won’t change, and it’s the users that make Discord. There could be a much better alternative but if users are too lazy to change, it is worth nothing.

This is the case with Facebook messenger too. There are great alternatives, but it’s messenger that has the userbase

The problem is not the lack of alternatives but the lack of users using the alternatives

I need specifications…

Are water fountains the ones that point water upwards? Or generally any tap water?

I think you missed the point of this - I don’t mind down votes.

I am just surprised that (some) users will actively use third party software to identify who made them, and then confront them publicly

I agree - I was just surprised to be confronted publicly by a user, for down voting a post. Not that I didn’t want to be exposed, but that people actually could look it up

But they are not public. You need third party websites or special privileges to see them.

For true transparency there should be a list with voting interaction on each post and comment

I agree that it is good with transparency, but then this should also be freely available on the Lemmy platform, and even the clients, in the same way as modlogs list what is going on.

I knew that admins could somehow go into the database and check who has done what, but I assumed that this was only the admin, and maybe even that the info was encrypted. It’s alright with me that it’s not, but then why not display it on each post and comment, with a list of interactions to it.

In this case, it’s this post:

Although, the comment where people were being called out, may have been removed (not sure if it’s because I have blocked the user, or they have blocked me)
