Should’ve used a debit gift card with only enough money for that one month. That way if they charge again it’ll just get denied.
Thanks added!
Threads is weird, maybe because I’m not used to the Twitter-like format. Posting is fast like Lemmy (not surprising since it shares the Fediverse infrastructure). Replies are harder to read since it’s one level nested. There’s no downvotes.
Anyone can choose to tag any post or comment as any topic, like Twitter but hashtags don’t appear to be needed. Images and gifs are well supported by default, but it doesn’t support alt-text for accessibility.
The default feed is heavily bot-laden worth thirst-traps and AI women. You need to find actual people and follow them for recommendations for other real people to start to show up in the default feed which is a bit annoying. You end up with a social circle like in Facebook but they are complete strangers unless you accept recommendations from any Instagram contacts you know in real life. You need to turn off linking between Threads and Instagram (on both applications) if you want to keep them separate, it’s opt-out.
Political discussions are toxic; this is unsurprising. Lots of MAGA trash, but not Nazi-laden like X (formerly Twitter). Arguments with them are unfruitful.
The meme game is incredibly weak compared to here (thanks PugJesus, The_Picard_Maneuver, cm0002, Stamets, LadyButterfly, Track_Shovel, etc.). Lemmy has an incredible amount of fantastic memes for it’s size.
There are of course ads but they aren’t as obnoxious as Facebook ads. No doubt Meta is data mining the hell out of your content.
Since there’s millions of people (if they aren’t conflating with Instagram users) it’s incredibly active. That part is nice but you also get the stupidity and ignorance from Facebook-like users; this is where curating your follows is important.
Still, investors are shaking off the report, bidding the stock up 5.6% in premarket
How the hell is it rising on this news. This stock is super manipulated.
I appreciate that it is at least mostly organized on the shelves. It adds a level of professionalism.
With that many people, do you all share resources? I’d imagine a six person polycule would be much easier financially if everyone (or at least four of you) have jobs. I’m having a hard time making ends meet with two, and I would imagine the added stability of six would drive down the cost of living. Would be a lot easier to own a large house.
When your walk speed is too slow but your run speed is too fast.
Boo it uses some kind of proprietary power supply cable.
For TMI, yes. You could say that it’s all computer!
In Hell, you pay for a subscription to use your controller.
Chuck Schumer waking anybody up is unusual. Especially when he lowers the eyeglasses on his brow when talking.
No Skibidi Ohio? Has this gone out of fashion?
This is the Way. Doesn’t even really need to be a knot either.
They also took meticulous notes regardless (they’re German after all), which helped the Nuremberg prosecutors.
