I understand that this is possible. If it were some bad community moderators I would just avoid those communities. If the entire instance is tainted then I wouldn't want to engage with it even if the instance is federated.

I can't seem to get it to work.

I've definitely never reported anyone related to this. They came to a FOSS community and then got upset when people criticize the propritizing of FOSS software. They should change the rules to not allow any criticize of the ad business model instead of banning people for made up reasons. 🤷

They have probably already sold the information 100 times.

I like the idea of being able to following a hashtag on mastodon and have it show up in my home feed. Maybe I am just doing it wrong on BlueSky, but I couldn't figure it out. There was something with lists, but it wasn't working like I expected.

That is a peculiar problem I have not seen or heard f before. It doesn't sound like it is completely freezing if it keeps letting you play the game. Just windows behind the game is freezing?

Do you play in fullscreen mode where it takes complete control over the graphics output of your monitor? I wonder if there is some driver bug that is not properly relinquishing control of the monitor to your OS when you minimize the game. If possible I'd try playing in either windowed fullscreen mode or just windowed mode next time as a test.

Also it is always worth updating your graphics drivers too.

Understandable, but at that point it may be too late as people will have cemented themselves with some of the competition such as Mastodon or wherever it may be. At least for me I am very unlikely to use BlueSky at this point or in the future because I was unable to go to the site when I had heard of it and sign up.

Shouldn't Geordie have a yellow uniform? Or is he no longer in engineering when promoted to the reading rainbow department?

Purpose is merely a human construct. Please don't take this post too seriously. 🫠

Are you sure? I go to DDG and type "PeerTube" and get a lot of results.

They aren't the same thing. With ads the monetization strategy is to implement ads to annoy the user into paying. Then finally paying for it is letting them know that they succeeded in implementing ads in a way that got you to give them money. You are thus incentivizing an ad driven internet.

Paying for access is paying for the service because you think it is good enough to spend money on. This is incentivizing the development of a good service.

Data harvesting another matter entirely. TikTok is going to harvest the data of paying customers and free customers regardless.

Good to know. It seems they still have to do it manually. It might make sense to allow users to delete their own accounts though.
