probably because the relay is running off a mac or mac vm.

That’s too bad, that is the main thing I feel kbin could use is a good app. The web app seems a bit hit or miss.

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.

@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).

@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).

@m0bi13 @edu4rdshl

@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).

@floofloof. That’s a hard no. I mean if work wants to do it…ok? But on my own machines…Linux or Mac. I can just picture some jerk DDOSing it.

@vaguerant Yeah if you believe in an afterlife, another plane of existence…that’s when he’d put 2+2=4. Most likely he didn’t even have time register it

@aranym Can we get this globally?? Then perhaps more people would get their news from actual sources and not blindly trust a random link on a social platform.

@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.

@Atemu. Money. Same reason they don’t really wanna disclose all the little fees.

This will likely hit Apple in the US eventually, now it may not be the simplest or basically have a bunch of “Proceed at your on risk” warnings…but it’s almost for sure going to happen. The Google part is confusing…Hasn’t android had sideloading from the get go?

It’s not dead, but the SEC sure has been really helping the consumers basically tanking the market about everytime they help…
