That explains, but yeah, still off-putting :')

A little off-topic, but who calls their employees 'snoos'? Am I missing some context here?

The OS wars have always bugged me a little. On one hand you have iOS users acting all high and mighty and considering anything other than iPhone less, on the other there’s some snobby Android users that seem to think everyone that uses an iPhone is an idiot. Guess we can’t help but engage in us-vs-them thinking sometimes. Excluding people based on the tech they use makes absolutely zero sense to me though.

I’ve used both iOS/MacOS and Android/Windows over the years and I can’t really say that one is inherently better than the other. Each platform excels in a different use case however and has different USPs.

Anywho, just my two cents. Cheers!

Yep, this is also a common feature for phones for seniors.

Yeah, this is a bit of an overcorrection, but if it increases interest in smaller phones, I'm all for it. Really not looking forward to the moment I have to replace my 12 mini

I've quite frequently skipped a night because of random bouts of insomnia, but the worst case was a couple years ago where I just couldn't sleep for two nights in a row. So, about 48 hours awake total. Do not recommend. Definitely not after learning (and experiencing) how vital sleep is. Catch your Z's when you can, folks. You really do need it.

Love this! It could also encourage some of us to read something outside our regular genres :)

Couldn't have said it better myself! Anywho, hope you have a nice day :)

Yep. For me it also matters whether I'm using my beehive account or my feddit.nl (much smaller instance) account. Guess it's just part of the federated part, but it's a bit annoying all the same

Thank you for sharing :)

I guess it's easy to get sucked in the whole "I'm anonymous so I can do what I want without repercussions" thing and just become downright nasty towards people you don't agree with (for some people at least). Ironically, at the same time you'll quickly be downvoted into oblivion if your opinion is a little controversial. I'm sorry to hear you (and the stranger they thought was you for that matter) were on the receiving end of it. It's something I certainly won't miss from some subs...

But hey, I'm a pacifist by nature and prefer knowing why people think things rather than just telling them their opinions are wrong. So what do I know :')

Would you mind elaborating on this a bit or linking to documentation that explains this in more detail? It seems that unless I visit any thread on its own instance, I'm not getting the actual number of upvotes and/or comments. Waiting and checking back doesn't seem to solve it (double checked on a post I checked about 4 hours ago, still can't see the full thing), so maybe it helps if I know what's going on exactly.

I had never even heard about the Boston Bombings till now (or I don't remember it, not an American), but damn, that whole situation got all kinds of messed up. I can understand wanting the perpetrators being brought to justice, but slandering random people who bear a minor resemblance to a suspect makes no sense to me.

Out of curiosity, how should the admins have reacted the witch-hunts in your opinion? I've never really used the old frontpage or r/popular so I'm not very familiar with how their usage would be affected tbh.
