probably boosts user performance for users who have more experience like you but slightly hinders new users who haven’t got the hang of it yet

if steam prioritizing retention of growing userbase is one of its goals, it’s not a bad strategy in my opinion

i know im silly for this but this is part of steam’s charm for me. i like that it just feels genuine like steam isn’t trying to lull you with all the tried and true marketing and UI best practices. it feels very practical, like using old windows 9X UIs.

more than half of visitors leave a page if they’re forced to wait longer than 3 seconds

and it’s not outlandish to suggest that length decreases every year.

omg it’s already so much better! ur da best 😎

that’s also so true

Agree to all, but just to add clarity, there is existing Mandarin LGBT content that was posted prior to the US influx. If there is moderation of queer voices going on, it’s a a similar level to what we are already familiar with from Meta and TikTok, not significantly more.

correct, and i do think that is history that led to the eventual degradation of the threadiverse term. but the original meaning as i showed above was intended to label fediverse platforms in contrast to mastodon and other microblogs.

I sacrificed my soul to go over and check it out, immediately followed a bunch of LGBT creators of both US and Chinese locale. Nothing I followed or liked seems to have been removed yet, so just giving my two honest cents on that. The stuff that gets removed appears to be mainly Chinese politics and that’s it.

Is it the perfect protest solution? Naw.

Is it better than Musk and Zuckerberg getting a shit ton of free revenue from their corruption? Yea.

Is it funny as fuck? YUPP LMAO

i agree (and this comment here)

me, here take your own hehe

It’s insane how much we have grown! I think I literally have memories of being there, seeing your very post two years ago and thinking “yo it’s the gal from the shark instance!”

And that post only has 32 upvotes to date. :0 I’ve now switched to an instance that doesn’t even interoperate with .ml anymore and time keeps flying. XD

I want to give a shoutout to @maegul@lemmy.ml who invented the term here:

So, my lame contribution …

Threadiverse!: “Social media, but woven into threads, like Reddit or Forums, not like the chaos of Twitter, but all on the Fediverse so you can find anyone else doing anything else too.”

Sorry your cool name got immediately swamped by the Zucc 😅

i see this a lot but this is a misconception. “threadiverse” originally was a term to describe the “threaded fediverse” i.e. Reddit-like platforms like Lemmy and kbin. Bluesky and Threads are not threadiverse because they operate on the microblog model not the threaded link aggregation model. this usage has nothing to do with the then non-fediverse related Meta project “Threads” and can be seen predating it.

LOL XD Jokes aside it’s interesting how the dark mode thing becomes more of a symbol than anything in certain communities. Obviously the science shows pros and cons both ways, but there’s an implicit in group/out group about it. I might compare it to turning off your autocaps on Tumblr.

While you may be right about the boots thing that doesn’t stop me from thinking your obstinacy is a bit of a reach and looks embarrassing XD

and then read the comment you are trashing on. :) sounds like we agree and you got violent and rude

ok buddy

The default behavior of any social media platform is to allow people to say anything they want.

False, moderation has existed since literally the beginning.

author of that comment here, hi. wasn’t joking. you didn’t even read it right: *word’s

the wikipedia article on it cites two instances where it didn’t seem to be wayy back at the word’s inception. but yeah hardly matters in the grand scheme
