Bless you for not making people use Tik Tok.

I'll have to give it another go! I was absolutely loving the feature in beta, however the experience was dampened by intermittent game crashes that stopped the moment I disabled this feature. Classic AMD driver issue, most likely.

Can't say I agree with NSFW content being "filth", but I would agree that generally it's harder for NSFW content to find a home over here due to the increased moderation costs it brings.

I didn't know we were in c/news! Oh wait, we aren't. :D

Didn't voting already start? Feel like they should have put this out earlier, although I don't know how many people down south vote early.

They should get a D or something, not an F. Their options are not overly plant-based friendly (can I just say "vegan friendly"?), but after researching their menu you are able to piece together vegan options from what they give you.

It should be noted, however, that that option is not plant-based by default. They make it with regular egg-based mayonnaise and you have to request it taken off.

Tea, water. As god intended.

Force feeding estrogen to CEOs to break the glass ceiling. Woke.

Can't say I see many people using the "ANAL" acronym in lowercase... lol

I'll throw my -opinion- in the ring here because no one else is saying it the same way.

• Echoing what other people said, finding a server was hard especially as at the time I thought defederating seemed stupid (changed my mind somewhat now that I use Lemmy). Then once signed up discovery was/is a pain. How do I find good accounts when they aren't synced with the instance I am on? Fuck if I know, I never found an equivalent to lemmyverse.net for mastodon.
• Now into the big problem I had: federation was a pain. It was my first interaction with a federated service that isn't email and it was confusing and annoying. Finally find an account you like? Well you either can't see any of their posts or the few you can have 1 reply and 5 likes. Eventually you realise you have to click onto the account's instance to see everything and they have 100 replies and 500 likes (made-up numbers, obviously) but guess what you can't interact with any of them because you are no longer on your instance. It basically forced me to browse logged out for 99% of my browsing, constantly following links between websites. I have not had quite the same trouble with Lemmy because despite having some similar problems, it has been a LOT quicker to sync especially once you point your instance to another.
• The lack of algorithm or fine control of my feed was off-putting. I still hate that Facebook and other platforms make it hard or impossible to sort chronologically, but having only chronological makes for a potential to miss out on massive amounts of stuff.
• And on a personal note, I think I'm just falling out of favour with the idea of a microblogging platform with strangers. If my friends used it things might be different.

I did try out Firefish and enjoyed that way more as it had a fun and engaging UI and lots of extra features, but it holds the same federation and discovery issues.

In the imaginary world where Gmail required you to visit Outlook to view the entire thread because it hadn't synced yet, yeah sure they're exactly the same. In the real world the email comparison stops being useful beyond explaining how @ monikers work.
