Restricted to the whole site or just that user? The user tools are pretty powerful on their own.

Its no longer a community, now its an entire instance. And boy does it show sometimes.

Why is stuff like that included not included in every plan by default? As a European, I can't even imagine paying extra for that. If I want to hotspot my data, my operator can kiss my ass and simply allow it, I'm paying for the data anyway.

At first for sure, but after the first... I want to say maybe 8 months, I knew that it'd be declared endemic with how people were just ignoring it in 2021 and pretending like it wasn't there anymore. That said, I'd be out of a job if those restrictions weren't lifted, so its not all bad. But certainly can only help yourself, most people don't do anything and I couldn't even get a fourth shot, so I'm still waiting for a new round so I can go get my shot.

It's not about converting people close to you. In some situations, you're asking them to install an app just to talk to you, while everyone else they talk to is on WhatsApp. I personally have to use WhatsApp for work and for personal, otherwise I'd literally not get those messages. There's no option when, if you stop a random person on the street, regardless of what OS their phone is running, and ask to look at their phone, it's going to have WhatsApp installed. It's like your phone having email; who the fuck doesn't have email? It's the same with Whatsapp, it's just assumed you have it.

I scrolled the comments and some comments are about some paid search engine, definitely seems suspicious and especially when OP didn't give us any of his search parameters.

I tried " movie woman assassin cold war" and one of the first results was "Atomic Blonde", which is what I was trying to get at. I then searched "movie two guys solve a murder comedy", the first link was some IMDb list about comedy/murder films that also had a bunch of buddy cups cop films on it and number 19 on that list was "The Nice Guys", which is what I was getting at. I would really want to know what this guy searched for because I refuse to believe he spent an hour searching and didn't find it. I don't remember the last time that happened to me honestly. Even the two times I tried just now were pretty generic (especially the second one) and yet I found them quickly.

My most frequented community (/r/hockey) didn't even try to move, so I have to stay because I love hockey and it's the biggest community. But goddamn is Reddit filled with so much more dumb shit now, just all kinds of weird self posts, people asking if a free game is worth it, why X thing is happening (and it's something they're doing wrong) and so many subs have just turned into random people with default usernames posting about things because they don't know how to Google it. It's so much worse since the downturn and I hope the admins feel it.

Redmagic 9 has it. Now I'm not saying it's the greatest phone, but it does have a massive screen, a massive battery and that sweet headphone jack.

In Finland, the closest equivalent to this is some D list celebrity (so like someone who was in Big Brother or something) performing the ceremony on a cruise to Sweden. There is no direct equivalent however.

It's literally like that shit from Ready Player One where the guy suggests that you can fill up the VR screen with like 80% ads before the user gets sick from it. That's what they are doing now, they will push ads until people either stop watching or not enough people subscribe to Premium. The fact that you can't even skip ahead in a video without getting more ads, even if you just got the pre-roll ads. It's completely unacceptable and I think that there should be laws that would prevent that type of consumer abuse.

Even if they federated (which I doubt they will do), someone would have to foot the bill for those servers. Same thing on lemmy, someone's eating the server costs here even if it isn't a major corporation.
