It always was political, avoiding politics is a position of privilege

OpenStreetMap is a more than good enough database for a Google Maps alternative, they're just trying to discredit it at this point, all major map apps use the far more detailed OSM data in some form, including GMaps. What people have an issue with is the lack of software, though at this point Organic Maps or Magic Earth could probably be a full replacement for most

Sex education or people and communities that aren't ashamed of their sexuality

There has been a new name for ages, they're called posts now, they're only called that by people who have been around for a while and liked the weird name. Being "professional" is boring

It says you can contact the moderators if you have any questions right at the bottom.

The new form of copaganda

As always, non-profit open-source software gets branded as "complex" for no reason. Mastodon's maintainer even made mastodon.social a default server so it takes absolutely 0 seconds to get started which was hated by the userbase for the centralization it causes, and it's still "complex"

The iOS Files app only lets you access a tiny part of the OS so you don't accidentally install a non-Apple approved app or god forbid, modify something on a device you own 🥴

Do weird names really matter? People stop paying attention to them and accept them with enough time. "Reddit" is just a funny mispelling

I think boosts have potential to be used for crossposts, and the current implementation are just crossposts to your profile. Though they're likely here right now just because Kbin is a mix between thread and microblog software

Happy to see this. I've been avoiding .ml anyway, this makes my job easier. Fuck the Lemmy devs.

They are connected (you can boost/retweet Lemmy posts from Mastodon) but use a different API for apps, so they won't all support it. Kbin supports interacting with both Lemmy and Mastodon, but it's a different platform so you're going to have to create a new account

They were swapped before, and were recently changed to this for Lemmy compatibility, but things like the algorithm and reputation counting haven't been updated yet.

Boost when you want a post to be on your profile

Objectively? You're just used to them. I like the extra screen real estate and they're much easier on my hands

That's the only possible way to make it opt-in. People using other software deserve privacy too

Eat rich shits lol

You don't have to click on ads to give them money, impressions still count. You can use uBlock Origin, but they'll probably still make money from the traffic as they show off their number of visits to advertisers
