@Haan. I imagine if they’d said we’re phasing out xyz from the api or 3rd party support over say the next year or so, it would likely had a bit less of an uproar. Especially if they addressed the tools for the mods in that timeframe and accessibility. There still would have been a notable backlash though. Their own app has not been historically that great and their mobile web is irritating in its “use the app” pushiness.

@L4s. It’s threatening their wallet. Who wants to buy ads if ads are disabled or all the discussion you were targeting is suddenly free for all/john oliver? Who will keep a subscription if their frequented subreddits are effectively useless because of protesting (assuming they aren’t supporting the protests, etc).

@Johnpwrinkle Well worth it. It can handle quite a bit locally, and can stream from steam on your main pc (or be set up to several cloud services).

@Arotrios Why would I want an inferior version of mastadon? But seriously I will likely only end up with one if they auto generate it. (a few family use ig and fb as their only communication so it’s checked occasionally via web with adblockers etc…ugh).

@Kovu. Your average person will go oooh Instagram, I know them. Sign me up for the new app! Privacy, security, etc never even were involved. Of course that also assumes Meta didn’t just “create” one for each IG user (no clue what the usercount is).

@fne8w2ah. When I was a kid, toys, whatnots, etc could be taken by the teacher to be returned when they saw fit or off to the office and whenever the principal decided. I’d assume the same rules would apply to a smartphone.

@fne8w2ah

Very true, but then leave it in a bag/locker.

@realcaseyrollins And we are free to say no thanks and leave.

I have zero interest in going back beyond possible a big meeting type thing or something. Open office plans are one of my personal hellscapes. I can’t hardly focus on what I’m doing for all the movement and noise. I do get it for certain types of jobs but I’m a dev and can collab online with less distractions and get my stuff done. My stress level is less and my boss is still happy.

@lemmy.world While their costs have increased dramatically, wages have overall not kept up. Food or game, people will pick food. As a side pet peeve, how about more companies actually release a non broken day 1 game that doesn’t need a zillion patches to be playable first?
