My name is LemonParty and I approved this message.

Now pretend your electric blower is actually a super loud and inefficient two stroke motor.

The movement of air isn’t noisy, the motor is.

It blows my mind how slow mine is now. I don’t even use the UI really, I only switch between ps5 and my shield tv, but that switch takes SO LONG

OKAY OKAY HERE YOU GO.

Geez

I tried to upload a screenshot but it keeps throwing an error. Here’s a link to it from their web Site.

I got bored but then I noticed almost immediately how I spend so much extra time just navigating my phone on other launchers. So I switched back and then they released a wallpaper that has a fun cat in it and now he’s my home screen homey and I’m good

If Reddit is toxic to you, then you must be one of them.

Well that’s not very nice.

What metric do posts with no user engagement push though? From an analytics standpoint I don’t see the value prop

I still use reddit for some of the niche and sports communities that just aren’t really present on Lemmy (or not yet at least). I only use old reddit, and I only use my front page or the multis I curated myself. One thing I’ve noticed a lot lately is posts with zero upvotes and usually zero comments appearing in hot, top, and best filters. Most of these are absolute trash posts that were clearly posted by a bot.

I do not understand what benefit they’re seeking by shoving bad posts with no positive feedback into these sorting options but it’s fuckin weird.

Your first download should be a guide on punctuation my brother.

If not Threads, how do we turn this FOSS venture free of corporate interference into a new avenue for a mega corporation to harvest all of our data for profit?

If not Threads, how will we ever ruin this place by turning it into Reddit?

If not Threads, who will I shill for?

Picking a better instance for your main is most advisable. Users can accept that the primary benefit of a free and open source federated service can also sometimes inconvenience them, or they cannot. Complaining about the core mechanic of the technology that literally cannot change is silly IMO. Corporate owned centralization leads to enshittification. Your account age indicates that you know that first hand.

Reddit syndrome still affects a lot of users here, who view having multiple accounts on different answers as an inconvenience instead of a feature of the platform design. The irony is that tons of users on Reddit had lots of accounts without batting an eye, but that extra step of having to lick a new instance is just SO complicated.

I dont see that quote anywhere in my comments?

Oh, we know you don’t. You’ve made your lack of self awareness abundantly clear

Maybe if I rearrange the words a little they won’t realize I’m repeating the same thing over and over.

Literally you

Lol, you’re still sticking to the “I know you are but what am I” defense I see.

It’s ez guys, just leave Texas, run to a blue state, and then condescendingly tell Texans to just vote harder like 200 years of racism, gerrymandering, and voter suppression is their fault.

My favorite is that he turtles and says “you guys can’t read” when you point out how fucking stupid he sounds.

It’s easy guys, just elect better leadership!

Don’t worry everyone, the guy that (checks comment thread below) left Texas for a blue state has figured it all out! It’s so simple, I can’t believe we didn’t think of it sooner!

Lol, my scores are at zero, the only one downvoting me is your salty ass. Are you gonna keep huffing your own farts and rolling the same line out again and again, or are you gonna set us all straight there Captain?

Here I’ll make it simple - do you, presently, live in Texas?

If yes, your entire argument train is asinine because despite all your grandstanding, you failed to do the thing you told everyone else to do (like it was ez) leading to pornhub being shutdown in your state.

If no, you’re talking out your ass because you couldn’t affect ANY change in Texas and left.

I was removed from the voter rolls in Texas 5 times and still managed to vote. Cry to somebody else.

This you?

Elect better leadership. A state government run by a criminal mafia isn’t going to operate in your best interest.

This also you?

I now live with non Republican leadership

This also you?

Lol no I have pornhub

THIS. ALSO. YOU?

So you either live in Texas where pornhub is now banned, the LITERAL topic of this post, making your JuST eLecT Nu LeEdeRShIP comment the dumbest thing ever said, which explains your absolutely impressive number of downvotes, OR…you don’t live in Texas and are talking out your ass. Still. Inexplicably, despite how many people have pointed out how stupid you sound.

Which one is it Mr. “You guys can’t read”?
