  • There are certainly valid reasons for it and it’s also a fairly controversial thing to do. IMO it should be reserved for obvious spam/scam accounts or other problematic content accounts (e.g. Posting harmful misinformation or propaganda, illegal content, hate speech etc), not as a tool for “content I don’t agree with, but is otherwise fine”

    However, that being said, my meme isn’t really about whether or not it’s a just or good/bad thing to do, it’s about the irony of a group who consistently shits on .world as being “Reddit-like” to pull a page straight out of the reddit mod playbook

    RedNote, a China based TikTok clone that TikTok users are flocking to as a form of protest.

    Lemmy tankies have mostly latched onto it because they see the TT ban as the US government censoring their totally-not-CCP-propaganda machine. Even though the laws enforcement mechanism mostly amounts to having app stores delist it (Website, already installed apps and sideloaded should all remain working)








  • As long as you’re not looking for a good thumb typing experience.

    Ive also been digging for a good UMPC/Palmtop for bed usage, apparently GPD can make an ok touch typing experience, but their keyboards intended for thumb typing are horrible

    My 3DS XL in bed is so perfect, if I could just get a computer with a good thumb keyboard in that form factor! LMAO











  • . It’s not a walled garden in any way, shape, or form.

    MacOS gatekeeper is the first step they’re taking towards it, it’s not yet a walled garden, but they want it to be and have a plan to get there.

    It’s a full, true UNIX desktop OS.

    If that were true, then root should be absolute, but it isn’t on MacOS. Between SIP and other new “For your security and protection” features, root has taken a back seat and has been completely neutered.



  • don’t recognise the walled garden problem, because I’m on macOS, where software walled gardens do not exist

    Really, so you haven’t noticed that root hasn’t really been root lately? Or that it’s been getting harder to install software from outside the MacOS app store with each update? They’re not stupid, they’re not going to do it all at once, they’re doing it bit by bit.

    Mark my words, there will be a day in the short term when you go to install something outside the MacOS app store and you’ll get a “Can’t do that without a paid Apple dev account” error, at best

    It’s also confusing to single out macOS (which has better third-party repos than Windows by absolute leagues), when iOS is right there.

    Once again, iOS being a walled garden is an improvement to what was before and I’m not advocating for Windows in any sense of the word
