Fuck billionaires. Mastodon never had limited sign-ups because you’re not a product on it.
FOSS life!
Uhhhh many servers have had and do have limited sign-ups
Requires a phone number to sign up. No thanks.
Just curious, why is that a deal breaker? It seems like a mild form of anti spam protection, potential 2fa backup, and a way to uniquely identify users.
It requires personally identifying information to login. That’s a hard pass for menu people.
What about non-menu people
They’re just going to order whatever they like anyways.
Hopefully they won’t have to provide a phone number to the restaurant
I’ll skip. Just like how I skipped AOL, MySpace, LiveJournal, 4Chan, Friendster, Hi5, Orkut, Bebo, Tumblr, Facebook, Pinterest, Blogger, Google+, LinkedIn, Snapchat, Twitter, Instagram, Quora, Twitch, YouTube, Vine, Netflix, OkCupid, Tinder, Grindr, Bumble, Discord, TikTok… oh all of the Apple ecosystem, and many other I missed by being oblivious or simply never heard of…
I liked the Slashdot, Digg, Reddit and now the Lemmy format/style. Will continue to move on to whatever I find stupid simple and publicly accessible I guess. I am naturally lazy, advertisement averse and hate having to provide personal info just to use something non-governmental or non-essential.
Now, with the increasing prevalence of LLM based bots, I will probably ineluctably reduce my time spent posting anything (I certainly hope it doesn’t get that bad, only time will tell) on any kind of “social media” and focus on current and new family, friends, coworkers, colleagues and acquaintances.
Cool story bro.
You might like tiktok. It’s the same as reddit.
How?
lol
Full of trash and your life is better off without it? Checks out.
Wow I assumed that anyone could sign up from the beginning, but anything like Twitter couldn’t interest me less so I never looked into it
