Ohh! 😂🙈 I assumed he was American/Canadian for some reason.

Makes sense, thanks. I think I misunderstood the comment I was replying to.

It’s £18.99. Is the £12.99 you paid converted to GPB from your own currency?

Why the laugh? Did I miss something obvious?

UK please.

Can someone explain what this means. The ads/tracking is not activated in Sync for Lemmy? If so, why have it in the code.

That seems fair. I’m in the camp that is really hesitant to take on another subscription but also understand that this your living and it has to be worthwhile for you.

Me neither with cars. Kind of wish I was though so I could fit in more.

You more techy than you think it you’re here.

I’m tech literate but I wouldn’t consider myself technical compared to a lot of people here. I struggle with adapting to new concepts. Takes a while to get my head around them.

For instance (no pun intended) when twitter shat the bed and I heard about Mastodon being an alternative. I looked to into it but it seemed a bit overwhelming to figure out.

Fast forward to Reddit shitting the bed and the bits of knowledge learned from Mastodon helped me in converting to Lemmy.

I’m mid 40’s and it’s really frustrating that I can’t figure things out like I could in my teens and 20’s.

If it’s trying emulate a human then it’s spot on. I suck at maths.

One of its plus points (no pun intended) was that it was the first social media platform to allow more granular control over who saw your posts. You could people to ‘circles’ and limit posts to which ever circles of friends you selected (if I’m remembering this correctly).

I think at that time on Facebook, you only had the option of Public, Friends or Private. It spurred Facebook on to introduce more granular control as well. So if nothing else, Google+ was good for that.

One of the things that probably killed it was Google enforcing people to use their real names on there. Which of course affected also commenting on YouTube as well.

I quite liked Google+ overall. Would have been good to have a proper competitor to Facebook.

Thank you!

One thing that puts me off Liftoff is the dark theme isn’t dark enough for me but I find the Amoled mode too dark.

Yep, infuriating. It just happened with me. Googled something, followed a link to a website. I couldn’t see images on forum lthread there without registering. So I register, that of course takes me to the home page on the forum instead.

Is there a list of instances that have defederated (or announced they will) from Threads?

I’d say this is worth another riot.

But when you eventually poop your in the middle of human a human centipede

I really hope that won’t be the only option. I’ve used Sync for so many years and would buy premium in heart beat (I bought lifetime ultra on Sync for Reddit) but I’m afraid I won’t subscribe with an ongoing payment. I understand it from the devs point of view as far income is concerned but there’s just too many things require subscriptions these days.

Everyone wants a piece of the pie but the pie isn’t big enough
