Geek loving the Fediverse
Other thing I see is that people fall on the trap that they NEED to watch what everyone is watching.
Just don’t. Rotate if you need to.
I pay Netflix one month per year, most other services even less.
YouTube Premium is the only I pay full year. It’s my TV now.
How much effort does this? Most services are a couple of clicks or like me, use a digital debit card and prepaid only what you need.
Or just subscribe and cancel it right away (almost the same screen). You take more time looking at what to watch than to switch services.
People lose money because this companies know they are lazy.
I don’t care about the piracy community but people are complaining about they having to create multiple accounts and saying Lemmy will never reach critical mass like this…
But why would we want to reach critical mass? I don’t want to sound like a gatekeeper but growing just for the sake of growing is never been good on anything.
Specially as Lemmy is still an alpha software. And people are still figuring out how is the better way to moderate ourselves instead of waiting to Big Corpo to do so.
This is part of being an early adopter. You give feedback, sometimes things don’t go your way, other they hear you out.
I’m loving the experience so far. The Fediverse still is not mature enough (we block fast) but we are still figuring things out.
Imagine being sad about this 🤣
I never understood people getting annoyed by this.
Yes, MS can get pushy advertising their products. What would you expect? I had Windows 11 for a few years I have zero problems. I work and play games on my ROG and it’s fast. That’s what I need.
When things like this appear I have muscular memory like when I see ads on websites: close or ignore.
