Looking for lemmy.world alternative.
  • I'm struggling to understand why Reddit actually hosted a piracy discussion group without issues for a long long time, yet here it's deemed too illegal to see a piracy discussion group hosted elsewhere 🤷‍♂️

  • FFS I thought all this bollocks would be done with once we moved from corporate self interest to more community based stuff but it seems all admins eventually go to shit 🤬

    ABC shuts down official Twitter accounts due to 'toxic interactions'
  • Thank you for that, most interesting.

    It's odd given their usually quite liberal stance... I wonder if there some old conservatism creeping in with the Tories being in power for so long..?

  • The BBC has a history of being antitrans?

    That's quite a revelation to me, it has more of a reputation of being extremely liberal and indeed any even remotely right winger here usually whinges and moans about how "woke" it is 🤷🏻‍♂️

    Do you know what in particular triggered their stance that they believed the BBC anti-trans?

    Baldur’s Gate 3’s Statement On Microtransactions Warms The Heart
  • I don't disagree it's anything earth shattering but it does make their statement open to being disputed... I guess my other concern would be if it's a slippery slope but there's no evidence of that with Larian (so far).

    Baldur’s Gate 3’s Statement On Microtransactions Warms The Heart
  • "Enjoy the game to its fullest without any additional costs" - I know Larian are one of the good guys in all this but the deluxe DLC does come with in-game stuff that is otherwise unobtainable, so their statement isn't 100% accurate

    Should pubs and restaurants be kid-free zones? (The Guardian)
  • Depends, uk licensing laws are complex... for example a pub with an area set aside for serving a substantive meal may be permitted children in those areas only if they are eating with adults.

    A restaurant with a pub/bar attached, even if completely openly attached so looks exactly the same as the pub example above, will almost certainly be permitted to serve children food without an adult present (at least legally, some may have policies against that).

    And those are the easiest examples.

    Google engineers want to make ad-blocking (near) impossible
  • Aye so people keep telling me, I wish I knew what was causing my issues as would much rather be using it - prefer the UI, the customisation etc but the performance I just had to give up on the end.

    I see the Reddit BS of downvoting stuff people disagree with has moved to Lemmy as well... Won't take long for the morons to ruin open conversations on here as well 🙄🤦🏻‍♂️

  • I absolutely would if I could get it to run decently on my Mac... it just slows to a crawl, especially page scrolling. I'm stuck on Edge for now, but having a look at Orion as an alternative

    What was so special about the Apollo app?
  • He was even better than that - not many people realised he purposely allowed free posting from Apollo to Reddit groups related to depression, suicide, addiction etc.

    Normally you had to pay for Pro sub in Apollo to be able to post, but he didn't want to create any barriers for people seeking help so allowed the free app to post to those subs.
