I have things configured inverse to the way you do; upvotes and downvotes appear as two separate values next to all comments and posts for me.

I prefer this, because it allows me to get a more refined look at my fellow lemmy users palate for content.

Apple Music, YouTube, and my online banking app.

It’s definitely a rectangular prism, and how would this be an ad? I admonished the case and only dropped a link when prompted.

You’re right! Most of them aren’t silicone though. Hard plastic

The cases that turn your phone into a sharp-edged rectangular prism are dumb as hell!

What made you think that comment was necessary?

When camping, late at night, a buddy told another one of my buddies:

“If you can see my face, I can’t see anything”.

I thought it was hilarious and concise and it still sticks with me. If your flashlight is illuminating someone’s face, they are being blinded!

I can’t help but feel pity when I see a child or teenager up to their waist in materialism and appearances.

Some day, many of those children will have a brutal awakening when the realize that they can’t live the way they did growing up forever.

One time, Raccoons got into my tent, popped open my tent-mates snack box, and proceeded to fight each other viciously NOT ONLY outside AND inside the tent, but ON TOP OF ME as well.

It is hands down the most terrifying thing that has ever happened to me. Raccoons aren’t inherently scary, but when there’s ~8 of them, they’re angry, and you can feel them viciously fighting directly on top of you, it’s enough to scar you for life.

I stayed stiff as a board in my sleeping bag for over an hour, just waiting for it to end. I remember having intense back and neck pain the morning after because I kept my body so rigid for so long.

I fucking hated that tent mate. He was and always will be a psycho. Pretty sure the fuck did it on purpose, because he slept in a different tent that night.

And I realize that me mentioning these proves their efficacy from a word of mouth perspective, be I alone will not be more likely to purchase these products as a result of these ads.

I’m all for equal treatment, regardless of genetic makeup and sexual orientation, but when you use that stuff as a marketing tool, it offends me. Do you think I’m an ant? Do you think that your injection of humanitarian issues is going to make me more likely to buy a fucking therapy service?

I firmly believe that it won’t .

Same reason as everyone else, I reckon.

Apollo is the only way I’ve used reddit for about 6 years.

I don’t want ads, and I don’t want my data serving as an asset to capitalist pigs!

the fediverse was/is quite a daunting platform. I’m here for the long run (hopefully), but I worry that it will either continue to be a relatively vacant space compared to other media, or crumble under the weight of unexpected operating costs.

To anyone who has been here for quite some time, I ask you: what are some useful tricks to make the most out of the service?
