No MFA?
It's funny, normally I would say "MFA? for this??" But actually I used to curate a MySpace for punk shows/bands in the city I lived in. I found every local band's page and added them as friends. Reposted flyers for upcoming shows. Posted pictures from shows. Had a blog. And one day a girl I broke up with found my password (or reset it, not sure), logged in, and deleted everything. Years of work down the tubes. So eve…

What's the point of banning an IP address?
Please let this go viral, it's about time to make social media great again
Anyone here tired of social media? I’m almost 40. Just curious of my age group.
We all know people who are truly tired of social media, we're not going to hear from them here.
It's incredible how this type of revival from the past gained such meaningful traction, but, in a way, I fully understand it. The online world has become so confusing that many desire a simple one. The same feeling drove me to adopt Threads over Twitter/X—even if I still use them both.
The confusion, especially on X, is caused by focusing on what advertisers want vs what users want
I feel like anything I'd post on this platform, would get lost in giant noise of generated feces.
Maybe it's just, the unknown world of "artsy" people is what is really so off-putting. Maybe I am just getting old and don't understand this joy of childish expression anymore. But the other, most popular platforms, seem to have more appeal for followong reasons: - Facebook works around ads (pages) & groups about my (technical) interests, there isn't really a reason for AI spam. If any would appearx it is easy to make them disappear. You get some ads here & there, but content generating bots are often named bots & post content we've agreed to. - Discord gives you high walled gardens for every topic you are interested in. So, one really needs to get out of their way to get content they are not interested in right now. Plus, everything feels like a DM, even the public chats are all just quick chats. - X is literally a politics platform, so I am not expecting AI content from verified account of a diplomat, or media person.

When I saw this I was like ooh noes not myspace all over again. I feel this style may actually be a hinderance for adopting more users. People really want something more reactive like Discord. Discord is very much disliked, but the software is really good and that is why most people won't abandon it. It is like comparing Slack to Teams. It will be a long time before anything catches immediately up to Slack or Discord…
> Discord is very much disliked, but the software is really good and that is why most people won't abandon it I dislike every single one of discord's design decisions, I think the software is garbage, and it is riddled with security problems. Their customer service is a nightmare, a hacker got one of my friends accounts and even though he'd paid up for some kind of Discord extra service for more than 2 years in advan…

While I disagree with the parent I personally think Discord is great. I've been on IRC for over 30 years and Discord is what I always imagined IRC 2.0 would be like.
