No, it's because WhatsApp was free at a time where SMS were not (you might have a few included in your plan, but you couldn't rely on that)
I am a tech nerd over 30, using a mixture of windows and linux, and watch porn. While I'm not a furry, they have great art IMHO so people can share it even if they aren't 100% into it. Some of it might even be ideologically driven, against the anti-porn drive: Add a lot of good porn content so that in case e.g. Reddit shuts down NSFW there is a good alternative.
I also heard that. But is it actually the case that a significant number of people don't use the file explorer (because they often use tablets/smartphones and not a desktop/laptop PC as main device, which is what I heard as reason) or is it just something people say?
I remember Macron once was like "well, US is too free for us, China is too restrictive, we need to be in the middle".
For me, it has gone to normal. All the subreddits I frequented are open and populated with the exception of one which has been permanently privated, but not to protest.
On Android, I was not able to install it using Firefox (Button was there, but clicking it did nothing), but was using Google Chrome.
Are server rules on https://mastodon.world/about lemmy.world instance rules?
I looked through the rules on https://mastodon.world/about which are supposed to be also valid for lemmy.world (I think?). There, there is a "server rule" against shitposting (rule 16). However, there is an entire community centered about shitposting on lemmy.world (https://lemmy.world/c/lemmyshitpost) and it is not small, so must be known by the admins.
So I wonder whether I misunderstood something? Are the listed rules not the rules for this instance? Below the rules there is "Moderated servers", where the info is not displayed, so maybe lemmy.world is not affected by the rules at all and uses different rules? Or is shitposting an exception because the whole community is dedicated to it? Or is it technically against the rules but nobody cares as nobody is harmed by it?
While I don't condone DDoS attacks, the only reason for D4 to be online-only is monetization IMO: Blizzard wants to sell cosmetics, so people have to see other people wearing them. There is little gameplay benefit from being an MMO-lite.
They aren't exactly worth nothing. If you have too low karma (in a subreddit), your comments will be hidden etc. I uttered an unpopular opinion in a sub once, got downvoted to oblivion for it, and since then every single one of my comments is hidden. You always need to carefully judge how many unpopular opinions you can say in a subreddit until your karma falls below the threshold.
Wow, thanks, that helps a lot!
Thanks, that helps me for this. Is this a general way? So I don't put it into any search bar, but just write https://lenny.world/c/(everything without !) or is the emulation community a special case?
How do I subscribe to communities of other Lemmy instances?
On another Lemmy instance, I saw that I was not logged in but could subscribe by putting "[email protected]" into the search field. However, when I put it into the search field of this Lemmy instance, it gives me a comment containing that string, but does not allow me to subscribe.
What is the correct way to do it?
I hate them alongside any other extrinsic factors the game companies try to push on us to increase engagement. I want to want to play the game because I like playing it, not to get some reward or FOMO. This applies for battlepasses just as for daily quests or similar things. In fact, I recently have started to prefer games which are not (pseudo) MMOs as these usually come with way less bullshit even if I don't like the game as much. For example, I think Diablo's (at least 3, did not try out 4) gameplay is way superior to Grim Dawn's gameplay, but I still play the latter because it's not D3 and I want something different.
