Sorry, why would I pay 20/year bucks for this when I have my own website/infra?
How much did you spend on your last lunch?
Why did you pay 5x the price of ingredients?

I really recommend just logging in once, the unregistered UX is crappy intentionally. You're the first one to bring up First Amendment. We are not talking about it. Note that "Freedom of Speech" and "First amendment" are different things. Freedom of Speech can mean laws (and there are other nations but just USA) but it also means an idea, an ideal. Crudely, an environment that acknowledges the old saying of "sticks a…
You keep saying "See the forest from the trees". It's "See the forest for the trees"
Yes. Continuously bringing up a few random exceptions like the ElonJet case, while ignoring the massive shift Twitter went thru to go from one of the most censorious common western internet places. That is the problem how 100% of negative responses I've received to praising the FoH improvements at X have received.
It is missing the whole while looking at details. Losing the big picture. Not properly managing one's preference for detail autism, for the tech business/lead spectrum types.
EDIT: Noted your fix was a sematic one. Ok. For how I often see written, and what also logically makes sense, the sentences are identical. "For" replacing "Because of" isn't that uncommon and is usually readable.

#374> In the fall of 2022, I started using Twitter more. I don’t know why; probably a curious desire to see how bad Elon Musk would screw it up. I stopped reading there. I'm not interested in using a product made by someone who regurgitates ESG nonsense without thinking. I want these people and these ideologies out of my life. They need to do some soul-searching. What is bad about Elon that you want him to fail? Anyone w…
> I'm not interested in using a product made by someone who regurgitates ESG nonsense without thinking.
I don't know wtf "ESG nonsense" is but the person who made the post is not the person who makes the product. That said, omg.lol is probably not the right place for you so by all means please stay away.

Anyone can look at the live feed here and see that this is made up: https://social.lol/public/local I had to scroll through over 24 hours of posts before hitting anything political, an article about abortion in Texas. Definitely not the majority of the content and it took way more scrolling than a couple of screens. I still haven't seen anything else on your list yet.
I just went to https://social.lol/
Gee. When I just go to https://social.lol I see this as the first thing: "These are posts from across the social web that are gaining traction today. Newer posts with more boosts and favorites are ranked higher."

> I’d like to see which accounts are using the services for a better community It’s more like after you use it for a little while you look up and suddenly realize you’re in a new but familiar feeling community. It definitely skews developer/blogger/liberal, is openly inclusive and mindful of accessibility (not perfect, but always trying), there's a lot of overlap with various micro.blog/IndieWeb/fediverse communities…
I on the other hand would happily pay through 2030 to avoid the people you describe on omg.lol. I dislike pretentious tech positivity and HR catladies policing my online life.
There is no "pretentious tech positivity" but by all means save your money and stay away. They won't miss your sparkling personality.
Re: Omg.lol: An Oasis on the Internet
#377When a blog post starts with saying "twitter is dead" it doesn't really make it worth reading further. "Twitter is dead" was said pretty much as numerously as "2 more weeks" but it's off better than ever, with Community Notes having proved themselves and X now having proved its capability to serve its main mission by working as the town square on issues related to OpenAI, Gaza, etc, etc. Eventually, with subscription…
> When a blog post starts with saying "twitter is dead" That's not what they said. They said “it’s the day that, for me, Twitter died.” I read that as meaning “I personally don't want to use Twitter anymore.” I personally feel the same about Reddit. I was a very regular reader and contributor, but since the big brouha about third-party apps I decided that it's dead to me. I'm no longer using it. That doesn't mean it…
I guess there is a distinction but considering how people usually talk, the thing said registers the same, especially as the guy did wrote in the form that he was "biding his time" expecting Twitter to actually die and for everything being done there being uncontroversially bad for the platform. I would differentiate those things the same way you did in a different context.
Reddit was by far the most common platform for me to visit. Overall community there has degraded over the years (more than in places like HN!), not helped by moderation being seemingly all over the place nowadays, possibly affected by the culling. I reported someone for a relatively minor but reportable infraction and their 10 year account got instantly permabanned. All while I had to send appeals 15 days continuously to get my alternate account and subreddit unbanned, with a very reasonable plea that my subreddit is doing the same as another one that has existed for ~7 years, after which it got unbanned for one day of no action.

#378I love everything omg.lol offers. I've been a customer for more than a year now. And recently bought another two more years.
After reading the comments. I think most of you have no idea what this service is.
For example: If you want to know where the customers are you have a map for that:
https://home.omg.lol/map (is optionally appear on the map)
This is my:
- Twitter: https://benjamim.status.lol/ (what I write here it's cross-post to mastodon)
- Flickr: https://benjamim.some.pics/
- Blog: https://benjamim.weblog.lol/
This is just a glimpse from a super "happy client".
And if you have any questions, I'm sure you just need to ask Prami (https://social.lol/@prami) and he'll answer them.
