It’s almost 100% because they were in violation of at least some of the content policies found here

It’s just that the Fediverse now has enough global attention being paid to it that they’re probably actually cracking down on enforcement. Probably something under the “Insults” or “Racism” content policy, since those are the most vague and poorly defined and highly likely to be “obvious” primarily to the country who is operating them, Mali.

As someone who tried to use Tidal for nearly a year because it paid better rates, it’s literally just 2 things: Artist Discovery and Algorithm Degradation towards a mass consumer mean.

Spotify actually feeds me tons of great indie artists I’ve never heard before. Tidal was a constant struggle to purge mass produced giant record label pop from constantly infiltrating every single station and it almost never gave me some little artist who maybe has 5k listens total. I get those literally every single day from Spotify though.

Void is gonna do real well this year, I’d imagine.

It has a pretty severe memory leak issue during the period where Chrome siphoned off most of its users.

Yeah, because the shitheads lied about the job.

“Oh, yeah, you have to go to remote sites, but the average is only about a 20 minute commute.”

And then once they gave me the job, they assigned me nothing but clients that were all 60+ minutes out of town. I interviewed with other companies on the clock and then quit with no notice.

Fucking assholes.

Hey, they’ve been running successfully since 1999. Hard to knock that sort of longevity and relevance since they’re still getting mentioned here 23 years later.

The forum Something Awful has had public ban notices for age, with a page listing banned or suspended users, the post they were banned for and usually a snarky joke from one of the mods. It actually ends up creating a fun atmosphere where people can get essentially “Go touch grass” moments that everyone can giggle about when it’s not that bad and it’s always hilarious watching some cesspit of a human being get absolutely fucking dumpstered in very public fashion.

That said, I don’t think it would work nearly as well without their registration fee creating a barrier to entry.

I’m just gonna bully the shit out of them, like the blue checkers on twitter.

Sign up for a real instance, fucking nerds.

That sounds like coward talk.

It’s easy.

You don’t pay for your games in cash. You pay for your games by being an attack node in a hire4pay DDOS botswarm.

The wonders of living in the future.

Ohhhh, the keyboard thing sounds neat. I know some of my friends really love mechnical keyboards, but I haven’t see a lot of cutstom keycaps.

Got any favorites you’d like to show off?

What’s bouldering? Is it just a different name for rock climbing?
