I have it on good authority that golf was in fact invented by Bandrobas Took during the Battle of Greenfields.

I definitely ran in to this same issue on my old phone running Android 10 ( i think it was either a Nokia or Moto). It is definitely an Android thing rather than a Xiaomi thing

But unfortunately more usage time = more ads = more profit

That’s the only thing they really care about.

Honest question, could threads federating backfire? If meta federates, suddenly everyone in EU will want a mastodon to be able to view Threads content, and mastodon has lots of much nicer and more mature apps, not to mention privacy concerns. I think it’s possible allowing Threads to federate could be very good for fediverse adoption in the short term at least.

Is there any reason to use this over my existing wise account?

It’s meta. Unfortunately I’m sure their lawyers can come up with dumb bullshit excuses for every one of these.

This title is an absolutely horrific misrepresentation of the linked survey and it’s honestly embarrassing

I have too, but let’s be realistic, and accept the honest fact that in far left spaces, racism, homophobia, transphobia etc us far, far less acceptable than in far right spaces. I’ve hung out with hardcore marxists and despite not necessarily agreeing with their political takes I’ve never had to feel uncomfortable with my race or sexuality in the same way that even mildly right-leaning folks have made me feel.

Yes, I’m sure racism and homophobia exist on the far left, but it’s an extreme minority on that side compared to on the right where it’s a pretty mild take, and treating the two as remotely equivalent is very harmful in itself.
