If you dislike the UI, you can turn on an MS Office-like ribbon design in the settings
What does Netflix even do beyond gatekeeping? I'm sure there are better ways to discover movies and TV shows
Objectively? You're just used to them. I like the extra screen real estate and they're much easier on my hands
They are connected (you can boost/retweet Lemmy posts from Mastodon) but use a different API for apps, so they won't all support it. Kbin supports interacting with both Lemmy and Mastodon, but it's a different platform so you're going to have to create a new account
As always, non-profit open-source software gets branded as "complex" for no reason. Mastodon's maintainer even made mastodon.social a default server so it takes absolutely 0 seconds to get started which was hated by the userbase for the centralization it causes, and it's still "complex"
Try adjusting them on openstreetmap.org/edit, takes a few minutes at most
They were swapped before, and were recently changed to this for Lemmy compatibility, but things like the algorithm and reputation counting haven't been updated yet.
I think boosts have potential to be used for crossposts, and the current implementation are just crossposts to your profile. Though they're likely here right now just because Kbin is a mix between thread and microblog software
Profits don't matter under capitalism, it's only stock money. Trying to profit is a death sentence in the tech space, as we're all seeing right now. This system doesn't work for the 21st century
You don't have to click on ads to give them money, impressions still count. You can use uBlock Origin, but they'll probably still make money from the traffic as they show off their number of visits to advertisers
That's the only possible way to make it opt-in. People using other software deserve privacy too
