The opposite of “not interested in your jank software” is not “thinking they are owed improved software.” It’s called using alternatives, or even not using anything at all. Honestly aggressive insulting attitudes like yours are one of the big reasons I personally have no interest in mastodon.

I sure hope kbin/lemmy is not overrun with the arrogant tech bro vibe. It’s gross.

Others have been reporting that their deleted or shredded comments are restored the next day. Are yours actually staying deleted up to the 1000 limit?

Because insulting large portions of the population is apparently the in thing with CEOs these days.

That’s true, but most of the terms are scoped as “to provide the service.” This is explicitly scoped to allow them to do anything “in all media formats and channels now known or later developed anywhere in the world” and even claims to be able to use your name and voice and possibly photo if it’s “connected” with your content. I can’t imagine something this broad would be held up in courts but who knows.

I like the F150 but when the Ford CEO says “I make trucks for real people who do real work,” as a “non-real” person who “doesn’t do real work as I don’t need a truck”, well, he can fuck right off. What an asshole.

The parts of Reddit I frequented I enjoyed and want that same sort of content somewhere more open. I don’t care about your opinions on what I like nor anyone else’s.

One could say that the people supporting mastodon with rhetoric like yours are too fucking lazy and pathetic to bother building a system with good UX. The choice is not in fact, “freedom” or “usability.” It’s very easy to have both, but mastodon supporters don’t seem to care. You are not owed anything, and no most people will not bother with some janky software.

If you want to change the world on a lager scale, do better, don’t blame others.

Yes, they do, which is unsettling and why I’ve decided not to give them any more content.

Yeah, I find it extremely off putting how they feel so confident to declare ownership over content we all gave them and built for free. Worse, at the same time they accuse US of being freeloaders! If I’m contributing free content I expect at a minimum some respect and civility in return, not being treated like some free slave labour.

They came after a small sub I moderate today too. My response was to make a sticky post to the sub with the contents of the mod mail and a recommendation for everyone to move to kbin or lemmy. I hadn’t planned on giving reddit any more free content anyways given their behaviour.
