By the time you finished making this snarky meme, you could’ve set up a program to OCR a book yourself.

When someone says “osam” (eight), you reply with one of the rhyming insults

“Nos ti posran” = Your nose is covered in shit

or

“Na kurcu te nosam” = I carry you on my cock

They’re rather silly insults, I think nobody actually uses them beyond the age of 12, but everyone knows them.

I’ve no idea why Croatia and Bosnia have 69 while Serbia and Montenegro have 8, when surely both “funny numbers” are well-known in the area equally. 420 is also known just about everywhere, not just Netherlands.

AFAIK, lemmy.world only blocked !piracy@lemmy.dbzer0.com community, not the whole instance, and unblocked it a few months afterwards.

True, it’s not right to call lemmy.world users “reddit-brained”.

Simple Gallery hasn’t and couldn’t have received the privacy-intruding update yet, as its last update was in October, according to the data on Play Store, i.e. before the acquisition. People are complaining about Simple Messenger, for now.

My own install of Gallery is from F-Droid, just as yours, yet I don’t see it there anymore. It’s not visible on the F-Droid website, unlike e.g. https://f-droid.org/en/packages/com.simplemobiletools.keyboard/

Maybe you can see it if you’re using some repository other then the default one? Or your repository data hasn’t been updated recently? Idk, just guessing.

Huh, perhaps the problem is on my end then? But I can neither find it by searching the repository, nor is it on the list of my installed F-Droid apps, even though all the other Simple apps are there. And I’m 100% certain I’m not using the Play Store version.

Damn, how did I even manage to miss that Simple apps have been bought off? I’ve used them for years and am still subscribed to the reddit community…

Some people suggest the action could possibly be deemed illegal, by breaking the licence the project was made under.

It seems F-droid won’t accept the new versions, as the Suite has been acquired over a month ago and they haven’t accepted any new versions, all Simple apps I’ve checked haven’t been updated for 3-4 months; in fact, I can’t find Simple Gallery there anymore at all.

The ads are probably against F-droid’s TOS.

One issue is that lemmy is too anonymous and that leads to it not attracting content creators that don’t actually want to be anonymous and want to create a presence

That’s not an issue. Reddit was equally anonymous yet it did just fine (relatively speaking). The different users’ usernames that can theoretically appear the same can be fixed by making it mandatory to show your instance next to your username, rather than hiding it if you change your default username. But even without that anyone can hover over your profile name and see which instance you’re from, so really you can’t actually deceive people regarding the nature of your account.

:o

Your word choice is just bizarre. Nobody would be excluded, they’d only have to make a profile on a different, normal server. And nobody would be “hurt” by not having access to Lemmy’s memes about Linux and similar stuff.

just don’t follow any of them if you’re not interested in any of them

Except that theoretically my “All” feed would still be full of garbage-tier content that people typically expect and post on Meta’s services, and that userbase with its same mindset would eventually spill over into the communities that I do follow too.

Yeah, but they’re separate

They’re literally not.

Threads accounts are closely integrated with Instagram accounts. By default, Threads and Instagram accounts share the same username, profile picture, and display name, although the profile picture and display name can be customized. Users can choose which accounts they follow on Instagram will carry over to Threads, either with the other person’s Threads account already created or set to automatically follow them once an account is created.[36] As of August 2023, if a user decides to terminate their Threads account, they must delete their associated Instagram account as well.[37] Adam Mosseri, the CEO of Instagram, has acknowledged this limitation and stated that they are exploring options for a user to delete only their Threads account.[38]

Users are required to have an Instagram account to use Threads. Threads is a companion app to Instagram, and it uses Instagram to authenticate the user’s identity and connect with their network.[32]

Downvoting makes comments less visible. So downvoting is the equivalent of taping someone’s mouth shut because you don’t agree with them. Is that really what you are trying to do?

This is ridiculous, especially the comparison with physical violence. Upvoting a comment also makes all the other comments less visible, by promoting the comment you’ve picked, taking up the place where some other comment could’ve been. Nobody’s mouth is taped shut by either upvoting or downvoting, all the comments are still visible, it’s just that their order will be determined by the upvotes and downvotes - and removing the latter from the equation won’t negate the “discrimination” (comment sorting) created by the former.

They don’t really believe Russia is socialist to any degree, they just support it because it (supposedly) opposes the western hegemony, USA/NATO, etc.

Basically the same logic as that of pro-Russian right-wingers.

That’s fucking hilarious, if true.

That’s how Lemmy works already. When you register, the registration page gives the option to enable NSFW - i.e. it is off by default. (At least on lemmy.world and on dbzer0, I haven’t checked other instances but I believe they work the same, except the porn instances.)

You can simply block NSFW, you can do it in your settings

That description of online news is good, applies not just to news on Lemmy. I check out some news portals irregularly, and I frequently wonder if I’m out of the loop because I might be missing some context for the given article that I finally clicked on. A lot of news content should ideally be turned into a weekly digest, that filters out what’s relevant, gives context and wider considerations, etc. (e.g. instead of immediately informing us that the Ukrainian army has just captured a street in a village, just let me know when they’ve captured the whole village several weeks later, and explain if that village is strategically relevant). But that’s contrary to how both news portals and sites like reddit and Lemmy work, with the demand for a constant stream of small excitements.
