I tried it out but I didn't really like it that much. It seems to be good for most people though.

No. My time is worth more than 10k and I'd rather spend it doing stuff I like to do.

Most people won't gel with the free version though as it uses ASCII.

The challenge will be finding an actual traditional conservative instance that isn't also a pro-Nazi fascist shithole.

People are paid to work on it tho.

Paying people doesn't necessarily translate to what you might want from it.

No no no it's just China doing you a solid and backing up your sensitive information just in case you lose your phone. It uses Blockchain technology where if you ever need it back they just block you.

Personally I don't care about the soccer moms, my main concern is all the problems that come with being a mainstream social media platform. Threads threatens to overwhelm the content being generated with all those problems where your Lemmy feed is just going to represent Instagram etc again. Screw that.

They can keep their 60 million threads, most of that is complete trash anyway.

What you need is medication, not food.

Get a bunch of laxatives, stool softener (if you need it juicy) and even some lactaose and senna if you're real keen.

Then eat a shitload of greasy food and you're set.

Notice how Reddit haven't engaged in any positive damage control at all? It's just been hit pieces against devs, an AMA with completely canned responses and unprecedented wide-spread hostile action against it's content creators/power users/mods?

Reddit is in full-blown sell out mode right now and nothing but money matters anymore. It's all down hill from here.

Exactly, when you put it out there it's out there on every single platform there is. It doesn't matter if you "delete it", the moment you share it you have lost control over it entirely.

For the same reasons I never understood why people post on Facebook with their own full name and life story out there in the open either.

Plex is better overall currently imo having tried both recently. It's just simply more mature software where things just work and it has a ton more features.

Jellyfin is pretty awesome though in its own right and heading in a great direction.
