Can you give me an example of what really important data could look like?

Genuine question, I don’t work in IT or work with computers very often. I’m tech literate, but the most important thing I really have is my resume and even then I can redo it if I lost it.

Makes sense, thank you

Offsite? When I googled that it showed a team retreat planning website. How does that work?

Dumb question,

If you have an external hard drive for your cloud backup data, why use a cloud service?

I never do, in fact I’m really surprised that a forum that’s supposedly all about privacy doesn’t offer something as simple as hiding profiles.

Oh trust me, if you do look through mine (which I also don’t see the point of) you won’t find much, just me talking shit about android apps

If you just browse through your home feed, sure. But actively going out of your way to see someone’s comment or post history because you don’t agree with what they said is childish and frankly a bit concerning. It really shows your character.

Most sane Tekken enjoyer

It’s not.

They charge $130+ for an ultra lifetime when its Reddit counterpart was only $10 or under.

They put things like ad removal behind a paywall

Or just don’t look at people’s post history you creep?

See that’s what most people were saying and when I got into why, I got banned for hate speech.

So why does their opinion outmatch mine?

They’re not bad, they’re just unwarranted.

I was permanently banned from Reddit for saying something about Robin Hobb’s series Assassin Apprentice that it was gay and had a non-binary character, proceeding to say I’d never finish it because of that.

Or I’ve seen countless people get banned from Reddit saying to keep the kids out of the lgbt stuff.

I remember saying before I got banned that I didn’t really agree with pride, mainly because international men’s day is also in June and ever since pride was a thing, that’s been glossed over. So I was upset about it and I remember I got a lot of hateful comments for even bringing it up.

Personal opinions, like my city’s take on safe drug usage to lgbt stances that I don’t agree with

See I’ve never had any sort of issues with that across multiple android devices and one iPhone device. I’ve used the official reddit app over all of the third party apps (literally tried most of not all, across android and iOS) and I prefer the official app over them all.

The only issue I’ve had was battery optimization on my low end android but once I upgraded to an iPhone and later a new android it was fine.

I’m pretty sure I’m in the minority but it doesn’t make sense why these elitists are so upset. It was bound to happen eventually. Then they say the official Reddit app is unusable? It’s functional, it probably works better than half of the third party apps do anyway.

The only thing I’m upset about is the developers lost well earned money and their time and effort to make these apps only for them to shit the bed. But let’s be real: nobody’s really going to quit Reddit. I joined lemmy because I wanted a new social media app and I’m going to be using it alongside Reddit. Will I use Reddit more than lemmy? No, probably not. Will I use lemmy more than Reddit? Also no, probably not that either. I’ll use them side by side.

It’s kind of a shame that lemmy has mods though, from what I’ve been reading up on it, I thought it would be better than Reddit when it comes to freedom of speech. But just because it’s “federated” doesn’t mean you can’t say whatever you want. It just means it’s not owned by anyone in particular.
