I don’t think you need the “what if” parts

It’s hard to get someone to understand that which they’re paid to not understand. Seems there’s all kinds of Facebook shills up in this thread.

Edit: oh, and would you look at that? Right out of the gate with the exploit stage in full effect .“Threads” has been an internet term for these forum discussions for as long as the internet has been around, but now zuckerfuck wants it all to himself. Now a billion upon billion different forum posts are going to inadvertently mention his stupid-ass platform.

Right… because Facebook has never bought out or destroyed competitive platforms.

Meta can’t even keep Facebook or Instagram functional. They get worse with literally every single update. New things are broken every time I visit. They need to take care of what they have, not go looking for other things to fucking ruin. Stupid-ass anti-trust pig dogs.

You have to use a different client. Sync and Apollo have that functionality.

News agencies are supposed to report things as they happen, not spin things to fit the agendas of the wealthy. Yes, news used to be, and should again be unbiased. This used to be a law in the United States, that if the news reported a bias in a story, they had to report the other side as well. Regan eliminated that (The Fairness Act) in the 80s and we’ve been getting more divided ever since.

Well for one, I don’t think corporations are people, and therefore they don’t have freedom of speech to begin with, so the argument is moot. I understand that legally they do, but I think that law is bullshit and has resulted in great amounts of suffering.

The last thing I want this site to become is a karma farming wasteland of repost bots and low effort trolling. I could get plenty of that on Reddit.

Freedom of speech doesn’t mean freedom for massive corporations to push enormous misinformation campaigns, full of lies, to promote their environment and society destroying agenda, all under the guise of news.

Conditional manipulation? If you can pass an awareness test you get an algorithm free experience, but if you can’t, then it dumps you into lemmy.world and caters your browsing towards outrage and echo chambers?

Oh, duh! Thanks, lol.

There’s supposed to be an option to hide read posts, but it doesn’t work for me.

You’re Jerboa!

I’ve been having issues with the view not refreshing, so I end up double and triple posting a lot. And then it doesn’t show that something is deleted, so I try to delete the duplicates several times, give up, edit them to apologize for the dupes, and then it shows as deleted when I save. It’s annoying.

It’s not your phone, I have a flagship phone and it’s the same behavior.

Right? What is even the point of the hiding upvotes option? I can understand holding to show upvotes if you have them hidden by default, but why would anyone ever want to hide upvotes on an individual basis? It’s a wasted gesture.
