I switched instances just so I could be on one that had downvotes because I passionately believe downvotes give immediate power to of self moderation to the users. However, I'm very light on downvoting. I only downvotevote stuff like the OP was talking about or if something is technically incorrect and damaging to a thread. But again I'm very light on downvoting, as I was on Reddit before. I usually ignore something that I simply don't agree with or think is too silly, etc.
Yeah, this was bound to happen. The Internet was designed to be decentralized and then we went ahead and made social network platforms that were so popular that hundreds of thousands of users conglomerated into a centralized server (or server cluster technically), completely defeating the purpose. It took time, but this is exactly how it's supposed to be.
I don’t think you’re far off because obfuscated code usually has less structured variable references.
You have to forgive EndOfLine, he’s from @startrek.website and they take that shit seriously! /s

It is what it is, mí hijo
My dude, you have tons of upvotes. You’re doing great! Why so hard on yourself??
(I, for one, do like karma. And…you may want to sit down for this, folks…Lemmy has karma)
I’m off to my cabin in the woods
Yeah, but I don’t want to pay the extra $40. I use Privacy so I don’t have to give my debit card info.
Exactly. That's why I was saying maybe I'm overreacting because I kind of get it… But still.

Maybe I shouldn’t be as pissed as I am but, for me, I like using my Apple card for autopay because I get 3% back with T-Mobile charges. What I like to do is use my CCs to max my rewards / cash back and then pay off my card each month.
Maybe I'm overreacting, but I’m not happy about this. Of course I don’t want to pay an additional $40 a month on my phone bill so yes, I’m switching autopay to a Privacy card, but F—, man.
Okay, I’m done lol
Edit 6/6/1023: So I made a new virtual card but when I add it to my T-Mobile account the site adds it and says it’s not supported for the discount. They’re going to force me to enter a physical debit card or bank account or pay an additional $40/month.
T-Mobile really has been sucking with their service strength in NY. But they’re doing very well at driving me crazy.
All this talk about “well, the UX”, “if the servers can”, “but the big companies”, bla, bla, bla. I’m here right now. There is nothing else as far as I’m concerned. Twitter and Reddit are dead to me and I absolutely love Mastodon and Lemmy. I quit Facebook many years ago and never found an alternative for that, outside of starting a shared photo group on iOS with my family.
You better start believing in fediverse alternatives…you’re in one.
no reason
I mean, you can see at least one reason I’m sure

and a list of contacts, they’ve improved since
I’m confused. Are you saying they still store contacts but with better encryption or that they no longer store contact information?
I’m making this post because I’m shutting down my Kbin instance, kbin.lol, and redirecting it here for an undetermined amount of time. ## But why? Kbin isn’t ready. Not even close. I know the developer, Ernest, has been working his ass off trying to get everything fixed and pushed, and I really valu...
Looks like the admin for kbin.lol has some pretty valid gripes with the current status of Kbin. I have to agree, you can tell the platform is not up to speed at all.
Kbin looks visually great but the backend just isn't there. Check out his statement, it's worth the read.
The Minecraft subreddit won't be a source for official Mojang communications going forward.
