It is what it is, mí hijo

I’m off to my cabin in the woods

no reason

I mean, you can see at least one reason I’m sure

and a list of contacts, they’ve improved since

I’m confused. Are you saying they still store contacts but with better encryption or that they no longer store contact information?

What are you talking about? Where did they say that? How does capitalism ruin a non-profit organization? It makes absolute sense for them to have removed SMS. Here’s their statement about the removal: https://www.signal.org/blog/sms-removal-android/

Yeah, I’m basically in this boat. My OS is what brings my notifications together, and makes clear distinctions between the different apps I utilize. I don’t need one app to do everything. I use signal for sensitive business, having conversations about projects and sending credentials to coworkers. I use Teams for general work conversations. I use iMessage for nearly all other casual conversations - of those maybe 30% are SMS.

Bloody hell

Edit: Reminds of the pimp my ride meme. “We made you an OS so you can VM your VM inside a VM!”

Yeah, I know. Some of those terms come from Mastodon (the Twitter alt). In Mastodon, you can boost posts (tweets) which is akin to a retweet (without quoting). And a Favorite is similar to liking a tweet, although Mastodon makes it so that you can see all your favorites in a list, which is nice.

How those operations function on a Lemmy instance, I have no idea. From what I remember Kbin was supposed to blend these together so you could use your one Kbin account to check out Lemmy communities and Mastodon posts in one spot?

The whole magazine thing, yeah, just not needed in my opinion - call it communities.

OMG I love Mastodon and my instance (mas.to). Left Twitter for Mas about 8 months ago - I love following hashtags even more than people. There’s some great gems to follow though. For both Twitter, and now Reddit, I left for Fedi and just never went back. Facebook was another cold turkey quitting, no alternative for that one, that was years ago now.

Nope, I should’ve caught that, thank you. I was like wow I’m in tech but you learn new terms every day. Lol

Kbin is out of stock software?

(I don’t know what OOS means and at this point I’m too afraid to ask)

No affiliation to Christian Selig or the Apollo app that I’ve read. I’ve been on a couple of Lemmy instances and Kbin.social for about four weeks now (a couple of days after Christian posted about the API charges) and always found content and activity was much greater on Lemmy. All my Lemmy instances have about the same Active/Top listings (I didn’t use Hot sorting in Reddit and not using it with Lemmy, it’s not how I like to view).

I was drawn to the interface of Kbin like everyone else, but I quickly realized that the interface was buggy and clunky and not ready for prime time. It very well may perfect everything it is aiming to achieve. It appears they’re trying to make it easy for users to interact with Mastodon style servers and Lemmy style servers, and joining the features of both worlds. That sounds pretty cool if it can be done right. But I want my votes to count, I want it to be easy to cross post or boost (these are different) and yes I’d love to interact with Mastodon also but only if those other things work correctly, that’s just how I like to get into my threads and conversations while consuming posts.

Add your image to the link rather than the body so we can see it while scrolling.

Ahh, apex-level paranoid

Look, I’ve quit Reddit because fuck spez, and now have confirmation bias that needs answering. Just…let me have this.
