I’m going to point out rule’s 1 and 5 in the sidebar of this community. Have a nice day.

Are you not also making assumptions here?

I’m sure you have some proof of that, however, it’s more than likely subjective given what I said and what I witnessed and you are getting off your original topic.

Edit: You’re misrepresenting what censorship is, and you have still yet to give anyone here a reason to care about this likely contrived exchange. It seems like rage bait to me.

That’s wonderful.

It has nothing at all to do with why you likely got banned because it probably has more to do with the fact that some mod somewhere found you annoying than it does anything else. I’m sure that’s very sad for you, but why should the rest of us care?

That’s probably true. But I also deliberately blocked the vegan community here because I saw several posts where it was essentially trying to cannibalize itself over whether cats could be vegan. I honestly didn’t want any part of that no matter how useful some of the recipes might have been.

Reddit is a cesspool, and yeah, this community is for reddit stuff but at best this post is just trying to start a fight, or receive some validation (which is like … ridiculous because it’s a one off reddit post and we only have their side of the story, and we don’t even know if the accounts they interacted with are real people).

But also impartiality is something not even paid judges master and it’s like half their mandate. Expecting a bunch of random volunteers who aren’t being paid to be impartial is a crapshoot everywhere including here.

No offense meant, but I’ve seen r/vegan do the same shit to people pointing out the health detriments of a badly optimized vegan diet and I have no sympathy for this because you’re still using reddit.

That’s not the question you asked.

Windows 1.0 launched in 1985. Which was 40 years ago.

I’ve been looking for this option.

Mostly because I don’t like gaming on windows and I want things to work without having to tweak every single security feature and all the junk I turned off every single time there’s an update. I’m also tired of MS breaking things with updates and generally using the public as free beta testers to the detriment of their products.

Also, fuck 365.

Thank you. That’s what I wanted to know.

Would implementing something like this prevent this problem?

I have a couple of reasons. The first and foremost is that I use windows for two things. Gaming (I dual boot windows and Bazzite for that to cover the few games I haven’t gotten to work), and work. My work laptop has windows 10 because the IT department can’t get some of the legacy software we rely on to do our jobs to work in 11. The compatibility layer originally wasn’t there and now it only works some of the time and every time there’s an update it breaks something. As a result we will likely be paying to continue to receive important security updates after 10 sunsets in October.

Additionally, some windows computers lose certain functionality when you install Linux (touchscreen compatibility, pen input compatibility etc. Can I update my personal surface pro to Linux? Yes. Will I? Unlikely. It’s way more likely that I’ll jailbreak it to force free security updates for the duration. I’ve run into way too much stuff I’ve had to have to IT department just straight up turn off in both 11 and 10. 11 is much worse for this though and subsequent updates have a habit of turning that stuff back on because MS wants that data.

So much new telemetry. So many new ads. So much random tracking. Swapping browsers to Edge. Copilot. Etc.

My fedora rig has secure-boot/tpm enabled. But getting that to work isn’t something the average windows user is going to do. The average windows user doesn’t ever open the command line in windows. And that’s the thing I think people in the Linux community need to understand. I grew up with DOS. I spent 30+ years using the command line. I have used windows since 3.0. I have a general understanding of how to get what I want out of windows. I’m learning to do that with Linux but I have been on Linux for like a year and a half. The learning curve when you are already very familiar with something else and have muscle memory for something else is staggering. And I can fully understand why it might be exceptionally confusing and unintuitive for someone who’s never had to use a terminal ever.

The fact is, most computer devices are phones. They use apps. There is some overlap in that with windows, but the plug and play nature of how these people are used to doing things is just as important to this conversation as just about ever other point.

Windows even pops up “helpful” tips and tricks because they know that people aren’t windows savvy. I personally hate them but I’m not the average windows user.

I’d also like to point out that windows had the audacity to change the design language and somehow make a usable tablet environment worse in windows 11 in a bit to be more macOS-like and I personally really really hate that as well. I have my desktop and start menu set up in a way I like it and windows 11 completely ruins that and in my case makes things harder for me because I am fighting muscle memory. It’s egregious to have to pay for the privilege of changing my start menu or task bar. I shouldn’t have to go in and doctor what apps are allow during start up. I shouldn’t have to turn off OneDrive or office 365. I shouldn’t have to turn off telemetry or ads. This is a device I purchased and the OS is not supposed to spy on me.

A couple of things happened for me. One was switching to a specific instance that wasn’t my own and finding that posts just disappeared. I then forced the app to stop in settings and went back in. Nothing doing, no posts loaded. Then I signed out and signed back in. No luck, same result. I had to uninstall and reinstall to get the app to show content again. Then there’s the random replies that go missing or don’t show up in the inbox but are there when I go back to the post and magically after I see them in post they show up.

A lot of the time I will look at a post and it doesn’t log it as being read. Or it’ll log all posts and being read and then I end up not being able to load more posts (despite my settings not having scroll to read enabled). I’ve gotten the no comments on posts with comments. I’ve gotten the ghost comments with no text. There’s been other stuff too.

I never know what glitch I’m going to encounter.

Listen. SYNC for Lemmy is so broken atm that I have switched first to Boost (also randomly broken in some ways), and then to voyager.

I love sync, don’t get me wrong. And I was a sync for reddit user before I switched to relay. But I’m not the type to stick around and try to troubleshoot an app the developer doesn’t prioritize. I appreciate what LJ did for those of us who bailed on reddit. I appreciate that the app gave me the functionality I wanted for Lemmy. But on the other hand, we had prior notice that the update of the Lemmy platform would break things for those of us using third party apps that weren’t being updated and that means he had to have known.

When he has time and he gets around to taking a look at the state of the app, I guess I’ll circle back. But I am not going to spend valuable time on this if he isn’t.

Device information

Sync version: v24.03.26-14:56    
Sync flavor: googlePlay    

Ultra user: false    
View type: Slides    
Push enabled: false    

Device: shiba    
Model: Google Pixel 8    
Android: 15

Same for me.

True. At this point people should probably not give the company any more free data.

I left during the protests when it became clear that they weren’t going to change their mind about shutting down third party apps. I still miss some of the communities there, and I’m a little bitter myself over the whole thing. But to me it’s better to continue to protest by not going back.

The problem is that they’re likely to get new users from their sale of data to Google. That’s constantly pushing new people to reddit. And if those people didn’t leave during the protest or because of the influx of bots, they’re not likely to leave en masse over this.

My guess is that reddits death will be very slow.

Get around a permanent ban? Depends on who banned you, why, and if they deep sixed your account. Why not just make a new account if you want to go back so bad. Or buy one.
