This is partially on these companies for failing to provide an equal experience to Steam on their platform. I bought Witcher III in GoG to support the devs, and my reward was a lost save by the time the DLCs came out, because their client didn’t have cloud saves. So guess where I bought their stuff from there on? Sure, they added these features later but for some people the damage is already done.

Fyi, the fixed update has been released.

After Netflix, I am cracking down on paying for these services.

So… by “users MUST not”, you mean you’d prefer if they didn’t.

I use it daily. It’s my default browser, but it ain’t perfect. Most recently, it was an interactive map for Diablo IV that would never work on Firefox. After an update it started working, but that’s just the most recent example.

As pointed out above, individual use of Firefox doesn’t really do that much. Especially when Firefox already doesn’t work properly for some sites. Plus, lots of people (myself included) need to use Chrome for work. This shit sucks.

I moved to Apple a few years ago, and recently I’ve stopped using Chrome for anything but work, where it’s required (web development, lol). Still married to gmail and google calendar but maybe it’s time I get away from those too…

Doesn’t stop them from showing up via All and Local, which is what I want to do without having the completely block these communities. Just my preference.

I haven’t looked at the PR, but if it’s really that simple, that doesn’t seem like the full solution. I don’t particularly want a sub with 10 users popping up on the front page after 3 upvotes just because it got to the top of that sub. Sub weight, as mentioned in the top comment here, should probably be taken in to account.

Yeah, I do. There’s just more content there. More articles. More questions. More discussion. Not all of it is good, but a lot of what I use reddit for is taking the temperature on things… games, movies, books, general opinions on news articles, etc. I like Lemmy, but it doesn’t have the userbase to make this my only “front page of the internet” for now.

As a somewhat recent Chicago tourist… I didn’t care about the bean either, lol.

“Give”

Killing off third party apps was the straw that broke the camel’s back. I still browse Reddit, not gonna lie, but I don’t contribute anymore. And my mobile browsing will likely stop entirely once Apollo stops working tomorrow. I’m using Lemmy as a substitute, but also using this whole thing as a general opportunity to use social media less… less time mindlessly browsing reddit, more time doing things I actually enjoy.
