this is a game from the same developer as The Messenger, I really like The Messenger, especially the humour, I just wish at least they bring that humour in Sea of Stars as well
I use it since they cripple the NSFW access for 3rd party apps, and most of my front page are videos, it loads so.... slooww..... and tapping one video will bring you to this tiktok-like interface where if you swipe up it'll load the next video in that subreddit instead of the next post in my front page.
comparing that to Sync for Reddit that doesn't experience any stutter and loads the video blazing fast, the experience really feels like a downgrade...
there are also the little stuffs like less customizability for color schemes, hiding awards, comment padding, font sizes, font styles, etc.
they're really getting desperate huh
I thought it's just because the british empire is like a plague that's spreading everywhere..
Nah man, my friend plays GTA and the next morning he got hit by a bicycle, that's very dangerous
The ugly ones usually taste better, just check that the ugliness isn't caused by molds
This is the gist: https://ploum.net/2023-06-23-how-to-kill-decentralised-networks.html
Basically, big companies can destroy decentralised network from within once big enough people adopt it.
What they do is
Embrace - adopt the network with their own proprietary system, like Threads for example, as opposed to other system in the fediverse right now that are open source.
Extend - spend resources like money, manpower, and even extensive knowledge on how to expand and make the network a better place with a lot more features while simultaneously promoting and making so that only their proprietary app can access it in the best way.
Exterminate / Extinguish - once they have good amount of users, they can start crippling the other side, like maybe Threads can see posts from Lemmy and Mastodon but not the other way around, people are gonna think that Threads is superior and leaving the original instances. They can also pull back resources like even the people who used to work on developing the network that they used to give so generously before, and such the maintainer now has no way to keep up in developing the network.
Also known as the EEE tactic https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Embrace,_extend,_and_extinguish
more niche / specific communities are just starting here but on reddit they're already thriving. I'll visit reddit from time to time to keep up with the latest thing in those, though my time there has been cut significantly.
in other hand, I really wish we could stop with reddit-related questions in this community... ask those in /c/reddit instead
Listen here u lil shit

"Thanks, reddit"
