Absolutely this. It's the main feature that I find wefwef lacking.
I'd love to be able to both subscribe to and block communities without going to their page, too.

If a psychic told me that was my future, I would not question it.
I've learned to weaponize my angst against my depression. I might not feel punk, but trauma made punk part of my identity back in 2007 and I ain't no damn poser!!
They might become interested once they have a platform that targets them. I know it's a little different from people who jumped on to MySpace or early Facebook because we started with text posts, not really pictures. It's still true that younger people love to post their thoughts or opinions thinking that others care as much as they do.
It could also be a good tool for "celebrities" to directly interact with their followers. Instagram's interface isn't really set up for that.
Ads don't make enough. I play a solitaire game that pays out money for sitting through the ads. Those ads are highly targeted and very likely to drive traffic to those other apps that say they will also pay you to play solitaire or even Candy Crush! I still only get maybe $.10 per game and sit through around 3 ads. I accidentally click ads a lot, too.
What else are web companies going to do for revenue, though? It doesn't really cost them anything to host ads.
Do websites even make much from collecting data? There are so many trackers and only so many people. Ads are obvious, but it's clear that relying on those two isn't enough for revenue.
I'm guessing that websites with a large userbase will start charging for access to their sites. It might look like the NYT, where you get your 3 free articles, sign in for more, then you're required to pay. Free tiers won't be a reasonable compromise like they are now.
Will people stay and pay, or will they migrate? Most likely the former, especially for the older demo. Moving to the fediverse has been confusing enough for many of us who actually committed to learning about it. An average Twitter user wouldn't put in this much effort.
Can he buy Pintrest next?
Thank you!
I could see this actually gaining popularity from their Instagram user base. Twitter doesn't attract younger people or influencers. It'll be like discovering Facebook for gen z, where they can also share text posts. Maybe that'll attract the people who left Twitter for turning alt-right. If it gets big enough, public figures could even leave Twitter. I'd be shocked if that happened, but a gal can hope.
This isn't something I have any interest and I hate meta as much as anyone else here, but I'm interested in seeing how it will play out. If we can't escape capitalism, at least we can watch it as a social experiment.
Most supplements marked "essential" mean that they are actually essential. Essential oils are the outliar. It's a strange comparison. It's like comparing your body's need for lavender oil vs vitamin D.
This bot might need some tuning to where it only cross-posts posts that gained a certain amount of upvotes.
I have a cheap bidet that I got on Amazon for maybe $30. I love it. It gets you way cleaner compared to just wiping because the water can flush you out a bit. The downside is that you have to dry yourself off (unless you get a drying model) and there's more cleaning involved because of the bidet and the powerwashed poop particles that don't fall straight down into the bowl.
Getting a bidet + squatty potty changed my life, especially as someone with a very poor and inconsistent diet.
Which app is that? I also have long hair that is annoying to wash. Videos might actually be helpful.
