  • I lurked pretty much everywhere except the subreddit of an app that I know a lot about to help users with support questions.

    On Reddit, you don’t really have a conversation most of the time. It’s always a competition about who can out-funny the other comments with snarky one-liners and other off-topic comments that are not necessarily unfunny, but don’t add much to the thread OP started.

    Next to that, you always had to be very precise with your words and take everything you can into account, or otherwise someone takes a small thing from your comment and uses that to declare you a troll, bot, or just tries to dunk on you because what you said doesn’t cover all the scenarios you could think of or be arsed to write down.

    I’ve thought about this before, and I’ve always chalked it up to a lack of compatibility with other online users and perhaps just Reddit culture. The way I view it internally is this:

    A lot of people see comments as the end of a conversation. To me, it’s the start of a conversation.

    On Lemmy it still happens, don’t get me wrong. But there’s a higher chance of actually having a conversation, and respectfully pointing out nuance and trying to get actual humans to talk about the subject at hand.













  • I love the thought of people thinking of me obsessively and wanting to be just like me.

    Depends what for. If you’re consuming and spending money you don’t have to look successful to your peers, I’d say no.

    If you mean jealous because of how good of a person you are, maybe.

    Either way, I would hate people thinking of me obsessively. I’d rather just be left alone and let me do my thing.


  • so it’s not really zero click

    Did you keep reading after the intro?

    Excerpt:

    If the target has push notifications enabled (which it is by default), they don’t even have to open the Signal conversation for their device to download the attachment. Once the push notification is sent to their device, it automatically downloads the image from Signal’s CDN triggering the local datacenter to cache the response.

    An attacker can run this deanonymization attack any time and grab a user’s current location without a single interaction.
