...tantrum...

What a fart gobbler.

[-] Empricorn@feddit.nl 371 points 9 months ago

I didn't have a "tantrum" when they blocked my 3rd-party app for corporate reasons... I just stopped using Reddit.

[-] DillyDaily@lemmy.world 111 points 9 months ago

Exactly, I didn't have a tantrum. I used a third party app because of the accessibility features it offered that the official app doesn't. I can't use reddit now, so I don't use reddit.

[-] jaybone@lemmy.world 14 points 9 months ago

Just curious, what app do you use for Lemmy?

I’m using Memmy on iPhone which has some good text size accessibility settings. But there’s some buggy stuff and I don’t think they’ve released any fixes or updates in a few months.

[-] narp@feddit.de 31 points 9 months ago

I think Voyager is based on the famous iOS reddit app (Apollo?) and is regularly updated. Looks really polished and I'm also using it on android next to sync.

[-] Franconian_Nomad@feddit.de 10 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

I use Voyager! Awesome app, give it a try.

[-] DillyDaily@lemmy.world 6 points 9 months ago

I'm using sync at the moment, I don't dislike it but there is room for improvement. I have very low accessibility needs. I have palsies in my hands so for me it's about having nice big icons to tap, because I don't have the dexterity to push tiny text links or really cramped hit boxes.

My phone GUI is enlarged and sync is just the first third party app I found that scaled well with my phone, most third party apps work for me, it's just the reddit official app that really, really doesn't. It's unreadable with my GUI settings.

[-] SocialEngineer56@notdigg.com 6 points 9 months ago

Hey! I was using Memmy as well, but stopped a couple weeks ago since the developers aren’t doing much on there (no shade to them - it’s a free project so I appreciate what they did at all!). I recently switched to Voyager and it’s been seamless and appears to be better supported.

Voyager still has some slight bugs but it’s pretty good

[-] princessnorah@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 9 months ago

I made the same switch, can recommend Voyager as well!

[-] alp@lemmy.zip 3 points 9 months ago

Eternity. For me, this app is the only one without significant problems.

[-] WhiskyTangoFoxtrot@lemmy.world 4 points 9 months ago

I tried Eternity but uninstalled it when I realized that it would just go back to my homepage if I switched away from the app for any reason. I'm using Liftoff at the moment but it's got its own problems. I might try Voyager some time.

[-] Draconic_NEO@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 9 months ago

Never encountered that bug on Eternity but I would suggest making a bug report for that issue on the page for Eternity so they might be able to fix it.

Liftoff is on it's last legs, once the last 0.18.5 instances make the upgrade to 0.19 it'll almost certainly be unusable. Dev isn't active anymore so I wouldn't count on an update to fix it either, at least not any time soon. He also said he doesn't have much experience with auth so even if he does get back to it it could take him a while to re-implement login.

[-] alp@lemmy.zip 1 points 9 months ago

I just experimented your observation and the behavior is not the same. Are you sure it isn't your settibgs?

[-] Blaze@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 9 months ago

Arctic is usually recommended for iOS

[-] brbposting@sh.itjust.works 1 points 9 months ago

16 iOS Lemmy clients?! Wow.

Wonder what the motivations were for the closed-source developers…

[-] jaybone@lemmy.world 43 points 9 months ago

So now they are pushing the narrative eight months later that people left in a tantrum?

The fact they still talk about that over there says a lot.

[-] Empricorn@feddit.nl 26 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

A popular theory is that a lot of bots were deployed to make the exodus seem less impactful. So, officially the numbers might be similar, but I'm sure there's less real content and people...

[-] Whirlybird@aussie.zone 15 points 9 months ago

You didn't, but lots did. They're still using reddit to this day.

[-] Shinji_Ikari@hexbear.net 14 points 9 months ago

I thought blocking nsfw posts on mobile was bad enough until I tried viewing a totally SFW subreddit that was small enough to not be "verified". Straight up didn't let me view a subreddit that wasn't essentially approved without logging in or using the app.

[-] fatalError@lemmy.sdf.org 12 points 9 months ago

Me too, I did most of my redditing on the phone. So the only redditing I do these days is when on desktop looking for various hardware recommendations, cause unfortunately I don't know how to search lemmy that well

[-] JJROKCZ@lemmy.world 10 points 9 months ago

Lenny is also just missing the decade of pcmasterrace and other pc hardware sub content. It might get there in time but for now Reddit is still a font of information and advice from knowledgeable people.

[-] Moira_Mayhem@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 9 months ago

for now Reddit is still a font of information and advice from knowledgeable people.

That too is changing. For the last few months, most technical posts I search on reddit are starting to get filled with [Deleted] for all the actual answers as reddit's current push to ban left leaning users has removed all the people who actually were interested in giving answers in the past.

I mean yeah, there was always a few [Deleted]s in every old thread but in the last half year it has become the majority of them.

[-] princessnorah@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 points 9 months ago

On Reddit, if a comment is removed by admin or moderators, it displays [removed]. [deleted] means the user themself did it. I’d imagine what you’re seeing is people like myself, who used scripts to delete all of our comments from the site.

[-] Toribor@corndog.social 129 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

Exactly. It's like hey... If the corpos take a dump in your mouth you can either leave or you can stick around and complain about the taste. And yet the people who left are the whiners?

[-] Whirlybird@aussie.zone 20 points 9 months ago

No, the people that didn't leave yet kept whining are the whiners.

“Sure, 90% of the sub voted for this and the reasons for shutting down are clearly laid out, but y’all are doing this for literally no reason. Stop throwing a tantrum and give me my memes NOW.”

[-] BolexForSoup@kbin.social 40 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

I think what really bothered me about that whole affair, and why I had my single worst outburst on Discord by a large margin as well that I still feel bad about, was because it was so frustrating seeing so many people who didn’t just disagree with us - I can handle disagreement, I can handle discussion and debate, I can even handle a little heat throughout that process. But people would just storm onto the Discord or the sub absolutely fuming and accusing us of all these things…but within two sentences, you can tell they hadn’t read a single post about the issue! Not one sentence or article!

They were asking the most basic questions, my favorite being “what is this even about? It’s not like you have a reason.” It was insulting really. Here we were spending all this time and effort worrying about the community, Reddit, how to do this in the most fair way possible and produce what we believe to be the best outcome (or at least the outcome the community wanted in the end), and these people couldn’t even read three sentences before screaming at us and calling us names.

People just were not having it, they did not want to even talk about it. And this was just a sub for discussing video games.

This reminds me of when I used to take the time to discuss/argue climate science online. I kind of quit after too many instances with aggressive people who had not bothered to educate themselves on even the most basic science.

...disappeared...

I wonder where they went...

[-] Seasoned_Greetings@lemm.ee 61 points 9 months ago

People on reddit genuinely don't know because the L word gets the ban hammer there

[-] theangryseal@lemmy.world 21 points 9 months ago

I’m glad I figgered it oot. All I miss are the video subs. I can live without them.

YouTube can’t get it right, I watched one video about police brutality 15 years ago and now they think I just want to watch people get pummeled by cops all day and be mad about it. I can’t just go subscribing to a community with content I like on there, gotta subscribe to individuals and hope the right stuff rolls in. I just don’t watch many videos these days.!

Looking very Shane today.

Hey, don't insult fart gobblers

[-] ShimmeringKoi@hexbear.net 30 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

The only mature and adult course of action is to sigh and resign yourself to getting fucked at every turn, as wise and responsible adults throughout history have done. Any action beyond innefectual snark is a childish tantrum. This axiom somehow does not apply to the actions of the already powerful and those doing the fucking on their behalf. That is simply the natural way of things. Do not ask how they became powerful in the first place.

[-] Driveway4964@lemmy.world -2 points 9 months ago

Fart gobbler! I’d go as far as to call them a nose-picker
