Exactly! Everything else is just extra steps for the same result.
Chaotic neutral for me. The twist tie goes in my twist tie collection.
A different horror-ified version that I like.
Worst is when you report these obvious bot comments and the social media website replies saying it found nothing wrong.
So annoying.
Women are so cute and cute and cute [goes on and on]
6·28 days agoOn my phone right now so using my phone’s Downloads folder. 2 years old.
It’s this meme:
Don’t put za ketchup on za shawarma
On-device stuff? Sure I’ll take it. But not ones that connect online.
Especially since Apple doesn’t paywall basic health features behind a subscription.
Disappointed to see the dumb Fitbit Premium subscription carry on. Too pricey.

Static advertising I can accept, but then who’s responsible for vetting ads? I don’t want scams displayed everywhere.
Devs definitely need ways to support themselves and sustain development. I’ve shared this screenshot from the app Secure Tether before:
I like to chip in a few bucks to my most used apps/services that are donationware, but after all the middlemen take their cut, the devs are left with peanuts. This IMO is the biggest hurdle when it comes to online monetization. A less expensive way to donate will certainly help.
Additionally, there are people who cannot or will not pay for apps, and I don’t want to exclude them from being able to use an app/service they need.
Monetization like how Reddit Gold was and how Discord Nitro is are some of my favorites. Few extra perks and cosmetic features for paying users. Free users are still able to use the main product at no cost and you can gift them Gold/Nitro if they aren’t able to purchase it themselves. I don’t know how that would translate into an app store model though.
I’m not sure if mods are a proper criteria when it comes to comparing Lemmy and Reddit. The audience is mostly the same and Lemmy doesn’t automatically make people/mods better or worse.
Also, you forgot one major point: API! I get to use and support my third party app of choice Sync here on Lemmy which was killed off by Reddit.

Wow that’s a pretty app. Thanks for introducing me to it!
Slightly off topic, but starting 2025 they’re going to stop providing quarterly subscriber numbers to focus on “other metrics” related to revenue and growth.
- KDE Connect: Transfer files, clipboard, notifications between your phone and computer on your local network.
- Unit Lab: Easy converter. Allows you to add different units together (eg. 5kg + 10lb + 4 stone).
- Seal: Great front-end for yt-dlp. Allows you to download YT/IG/TikTok videos. Would like to see IG image download support.
- AVNC: VNC client, allowing me to remotely access my laptop from my phone via local network.
- Binary Eye: Barcode scanner with the option to turn on scan history.
- Copy: Copy text from apps that otherwise may not allow you to copy text. Also allows for easy taking of screenshots.
- Save To…: Useful for saving certain files that sometimes don’t give the option to save.
- Secure Tether: Share your mobile data as a hotspot for other phones/computers, bypassing your provider’s restrictions on hotspot.
A sort of sequel to my post from 9 months ago.
