All those alarmist “company X will delete your account” is basically that company X implements GDPR rule that you should delete data that you no longer need, including customers who left you.

Hence European companies sending emails to inactive accounts with an information that the account will be deleted unless one logs in once to stop being inactive.

GDPR demands everyone keeping as little data as possible. This is the result of it. And it’s good.

IMO much better. It’s Apple product. You give your data to them anyway while using macOS or iOS so that’s one argument: no need to share your data with anyone else.
Apart of that they have built in tracking blockers and I think they fiddle with cookies because I get logged out from services more frequently than on other browsers that I use for web development.

Yes. And that’s why they implemented it.

Kbin is influenced by wykop.pl that have a list of wbo downvotes or upvotes. Helps finding bots or mobs. Wykop was originally a Digg clone. It was huge in Poland for some time until it went full right wing populist and community got split into those who stayed and those who migrated to reddit.

Digg got a polish clone. Digg dies. Polish clone is huge. Some people move to Reddit. Polish clone eventually becomes a trash can. Wykop migrants are fed up by reddit, they move to kbin that is a Polish reddit clone but better.

What a circle.

Kbin doesn’t have an open, documented api (or I lost ability to find docs) so all the apps now are not gonna happen.

Depends on a country. In Poland Facebook is the place for discussions in many many communities gathered on Facebook groups. They have all the Reddit vibe of sharing informations with similar variety of topics from cats to serious military analytics.

The difference is Facebook doesn’t want to be indexed so those posts never reach beyond Facebook audience.
