Mobile? I use wefwef both for mobile and desktop funnily enough. Yes the buttons are built for touchscreen, but it's comfy for me and less cluttered and I see the images without having to click on them and just ignore it if it's something useless rather than click it, wait and then scroll down. And it makes where it came from more obvious, its a great alternative for both desktop and mobile.

The bad thing? Is that it's a web-shortcut. Not a built-in app for your OS (iOS/Android). That's bad because what if you want to tell your friend to download it? Well ... there are some steps before they put it as a shortcut to their homescreen or search for it and go to settings.

It's literally owned at large (undisclosed as a private company it is) part by Tencent , by one of the most major famous companies/puppets of CCP/Communist Chinese Party.

China is known for abolishing anybody who disobeys their rules and anybody who accuses them of not being more "Free" or for criticizing them. (Egh egh ... Jack Ma). Obviously anybody who opposes their demands ceases to exist. Anything they can't control, they're banning it. It's a known fact, not a tinfoil one. With dozens of examples:

• Google
• Winnie the pooh - coz a bunch of uni students said Xi looks like him and he got insulted. How shitty ego can you have
• Peppa Pig: This animated children's show was temporarily banned in China because it was seen as a subculture icon of the "shehuiren" (society person), a term used to describe people who run counter to the mainstream value and are usually poorly educated with no stable job.
• Brad Pitt: Following the release of the movie "Seven Years in Tibet" (1997), which portrays a negative view of China's activities in Tibet, Brad Pitt was banned from entering China.
• Bohemian Rhapsody movie: All references to Freddie Mercury's sexuality and AIDS diagnosis were removed
• South Park: well ... any fun who watches south park knows. And there's even an episode dedicated to that.
• Lady Gaga, Selina Gomez, Maroon 5, Chinese Celebrities like Fan Bingbing disappeared for several months in 2018 amidst a tax evasion scandal
• "Time-travel" TV dramas

Anyway. We all know how China doesn't like Criticism. This is just a list for the bots that will come down to accuse me of being tinfoil hatted.

And discord is literally a platform with NO-TEXT-ENCRYPTION. So, OBVIOUSLY, YEAH, they know everything you write there. Literally. And your profile name, and your history, your servers, chat logs, what games you like more if you connected your steam, what music you listen to if you connected your spotify etc.

Discord should be banned from the whole universe. Not just explode.

1. Please be more respectful to my opinion. I've got mine you've got yours. I didnt call your opinion stupid and neither I won't. Don't start a hostile conversation. I'm not here for that.

2. Yes, allow them doesn't mean allow them to say whatever they want to say. Hatespeech like "I hate you because you're white/black/chinese/whatever ethnicity" or "you're a white nazi fuck" or "you're a black scum" is obviously non-constructive hate-speech that does not provide any value. It only makes everything around you worse and brings more chaos and protests and riots.

Allow them to co-exist means allow-them to co-exist peacefully, by common rules that do not provide hate-speech to each other and provide our opinion in a respectful manner. Unlike you do for example. You literally shout to give your opinion with CAPS LOCK and just called my opinion stupid . Do you know how you sound to a reasonable person? Aggravated. Disrespectful and most of all uneducated. Because you do not know how to provide your opinion in a respectful manner. I'm not trying to insult you, it's just that's how uneducated people say their opinion. By shouting at each other. And the result? Is nothing. Just more frustrated people around you and you go home, play at your PS5 Shadow of the Colossus once again, and take your anger on the console and next day begins. But the anger still lives inside you and maybe to the other person you just spoke to as well. You achieved nothing constructive, you're just goading.

Anyway. Someone living among us doesn't mean living with their rules or saying whatever they want against anybody. Obviously Nazi-sht (yes it autocorrects it lol) and non-constructive conversations help nobody. Just like your attempt at calling my opinion stupid.

nice. now big corporations buy big corporations who own small companies. and the loop opens for others too now (as this is how it works in judge system - refer to previous judgement - take credibility and win the case). very nice.

because what did I want more than even more monopoly and even more illusion of choice.

and I mean, why not?

fuck reddit, and any corporation that takes advantages of its users like reddit.

We are the ones who give you value, not vica versa. Their IPO depends on how many users they have. Not on the capabilities of your app. And they treated it vica versa.

From then I just made my parade for pro-privacy and for pro-anticorp that takes advantage of its users, deleted my META account thus my Instagram, Messenger etc. My Discord. I dont care anymore. Even if I dont have now I will find someday other options. Better or not, they are options. And Lemmy seems a very good one, even better I would say, just not as user friendly - yet. (Not that reddit's app was good but we all knew that we had to use apollo/boost anyway)
