How is the name pronounced? All-ovah like all over? Uh lova, like Chicago for a lover? Sounds like the name of a prescription drug.

As a cybersecurity pro who primarily deals with email security right now (in the sense that there is basically none)

Threads does not really want or care about our tiny userbase. They want the normies and they want to OWN most of the marketshare of this protocol

It’s real hard to break a habit that’s been ongoing for almost 12 years for me. I’m trying to do my part by contributing, upvoting, etc

Unfortunately I do not :( it was on a discussion from an article about Reddit standing firm on API changes iirc

Potentially worded a bit abrasively but…kinda yeah. They rely so heavily on fomo, gacha, and other skinner box tricks to keep you playing other than FUN. Just remember what happened to Titanfall 2: "ohhh it was SO FUN it just didn’t have the events and grinding and stuff I wanted >:( "

I think for now it’s so early it doesn’t matter all that much. Just have fun! You can make multiple accounts so why not

I have a small contribution: another kind user I have since forgotten (rip) recommended Jerboa for Lemmy as an Android app to use. It’s much nicer than the web browser experience IMO. I heard there’s also a good option on iOS, so feel free to chime in if you know what that is. I heard on HackerNews that some people plan to make their own Lemmy instances effectively private so they can simply use it as a personal feed and go anywhere they please. Sounds like a great idea, honestly. Imagine an IowaMan instance, for example, and I would simply control it however I want. Not sure what the reqs would be tho.

Thanks for that site suggestion! It’s about the right level I need.
