What?
I did consider it, but most of my posts are in a private sub anyway. I guess I’m holding on to the slim hope that one day spez will feck off and someone sane will be put in charge. I do miss that sub, a lot of cool people there. Unfortunately I don’t think a single one signed up to lemmy, but I tried.
Hang on, I think I get joke!
Hello there!
I haven’t logged into my spezzit account either, but I did have to click on a search result that seemed to have the answer to what size screw the cooler master q300l case uses. Except no one had answered, so I compromised my principles for nothing.
Same. I stopped visiting after the boycott started. A couple of days before rif went down, I popped back in to say bye to my friends on there and that was it.
This is hilarious! The mods are being compensated for their time with shiny gold stars!
This would be fine for small independent forums that don’t really make a profit, but for spezzit? More fool them.
It enables a local vpn on your device. Yes, it’s in the ddg browser, but it’s blocking it from the actual apps.
I enabled it just now and got a massive list from opening the memrise app. In total, 212 so far over 3 apps. I’ve been using ddg for ages, I never really gave a second thought to the optional features. Thanks to everyone who’s been posting screenshots of it!
Edit:
Droplets is literally a kid’s app.
Same. The official app was so clunky and always crashing. I saw a recommendation for rif and never looked back. Without rif, I wouldn’t have even bothered to sign up for reddit.
I logged back into rif on Wednesday for the first and last time since the boycott, to say goodbye to my friends in a private sub and put a “screw you spez” message as my flair on the biggest public sub I post in. Unfortunately I was the only one in the private sub not willing to put up with spez’s crap, so they won’t be recreating it on another platform. Thank you, spez, for taking that away from me.
Hic haec hoc
Gosh, yes, it’s annoying. I’d be constantly getting people telling me to cheer up. Once a lady on the bus to school gave me a looooong pep talk about how I’m so pretty and if anyone picks on me it’s because they’re jealous, and I was like, whaaa? I can only assume I looked really sad, but I was probably just thinking about a video game or Formula 1 😅
As I got older, my resting sad face turned to resting angry face. 🤷🏽♀️
Also I have to say, strangers telling you to cheer up can just eff right off, especially when they follow it up with “it’s not that bad”. They can naff right off with that, how presumptive to think they know what’s going on in my life.
