all of them are literally the same.
That's obviously not true. So if you could explain what you actually mean, that could be helpful.
Mastodon doesn't have Likes at all.
The star you're referring to is Favorite. Those go into your Favorite list. So you can refer back to them more easily.
A unified API and a single login, are two separate things.
A single federated authentication could be a good idea. But the various federated services are different enough that they should have different APIs.
The current version with reversed colors, is all that's needed. I wouldn't change it beyond that.
Mastodon is organized around individuals. Lemmy is organized around topics.
The Lemmy way is far superior.
My tip is: Instead of $3/month, donate $35/year. That way it's only 1 transaction.
On Reddit I only ever down voted things that were actually bad advice. Things people shouldn't do.
I've done it. It does work.
Hold your fob a foot to the side of your head. Back away until it stops working. Take 2 more steps back to be sure. Then put the fob to your forehead. It'll work again.
What it describes isn't a "Wealth Tax" at all!
I get the feeling people are using the term wealth tax for anything that makes the wealthy pay more taxes.
It bugs me when clear specific terms get turned into uselessly ambiguous terms.
That was me in the early 80s. It's why I took first grade twice.
I was lucky though. My mother just happened to be a remedial reading teacher. So after she tried every other option, she broke down and finally tried phonics. That was the missing piece. it suddenly all made sense to me.
Turns out memorization is my biggest learning disability. It would be impossible for me to memorize thousands of words. But with some work, I could memorize the sounds of a couple dozen letters.
After that I was a reading machine.
Still can't spell for shit though. Been relying on spell check since the 3rd grade.
There are other options.
I'm just a hobbyist, but I have built a couple websites with a few hundred users.
A stupidly simple and effective option I've been using for several years now, is adding a dummy field to the application form. If you add an address field, and hide it with CSS, users won't see it and leave it blank. Bots on the other hand will see it and fill it in, because they always fill in everything. So any application that has an address can be automatically dropped. Or at least set aside for manual review.
I don't know how long such a simple trick will work on larger sites. But other options are possible.
Yes. Absolutely. No question.
The story is about a little guy, fighting the big corporate power that already beat him once, and is trying take over everything. It also explores trans-humanist themes of person-hood, and AI.
