Looking back on this as an adult has me feeling very differently about how I consumed this as a child. I had no idea of how much damage these guys were doing to themselves.

Damn, they ADDED buttons instead of making the existing top left comment arrows clickable? That… sucks 😕

I tried to come up with a good “Bender’s blackjack and hookers” type TLD name for an instance but couldn’t come up with anything clever

As others have pointed out, by default Memmy is swipe to vote. However I think the developer has a build coming with tap to vote as well!

In addition to deleting history, could you get direct access to the account and watch better/different content to hopefully get that stuff more recommended too?

Agree with this assessment of the PRS SE line, they're great, and usually very versatile, guitars.
If you want to stick more s-style, I've heard a lot of great things about Sire.

I understand why you want that, and I'm glad that decentralization/defederation allow you to keep that.
I have to ask though, why do you want to keep other people from getting that algorithmic, corporate content if they want it? Especially since this will allow them to do it without giving up so much personal info via apps. (While also allowing us to interact/evangelize the FOSS way > corporate systems)

Don't worry, it's tripped me and a lot of other folks up too. Although Apollo supported swiping, I always tapped.

How are you trying to upvote? Tap to upvote isn't in (yet), you have to swipe on comments to vote/comment on them.

I’m in Memmy and if I tap on the image in this post, I get options to both save and share the image itself.

Only reason I’m not on Wefwef anymore is because of the lack of haptics. Getting haptic feedback on votes and swipes is just too good, imo.

Yes! Each instance will have that ability, it’s the beauty of the fediverse

I think a lot of people feel similarly, we’re just exhausted from all the pearl clutching in the fediverse.
I think it’s cool they’re federating. I’m excited to see some of that mainstream content without giving up so much of my personal info/data.
I’m also excited that there will be defederated places to go to if I don’t want to see/interact with the Meta crowd.

The creator has an official app pending in the iOS App Store right now.
In addition, they’re releasing a “log in with Mastsdon” feature within like the next 24 hours.

why do you think they care enough about the comparatively tiny amount here in the fediverse to do the whole embrace-extinguish stuff?

But why do they want to consume the fediverse?
The fedidb.org site says the fediverse has ~10m MAUs (a lot of which are probably already on Meta)
Threads got like 10m users on day 1.
It would be such a small increase in users/content for them to consume and most of the people here block ads anyway, so I feel like we’re their worst demographic.

Only if people voluntarily give up their privacy and switch to a threads account/app, right? I mean ultimately the argument is that Meta will develop features so cool that we’ll all give up our privacy for them?
Idk, it just seems like if that’s the fear, I think it will happen regardless and even defederating won’t really stop that. I feel like people will just make new accounts wherever the cool place to be is.
I’m all for defederating just because you don’t want to see or associate with that content though, that totally make sense.
I posted this as a comment in the wefwef community but thought it might also be relevant here. If anyone is interested in self hosting wefwef this is how I did it on macOS: Start by installing [Docker desktop](https://www.docker.com/products/docker-desktop/) Open Terminal and type in: `docker pull ghcr.io/aeharding/wefwef:latest` Then, you need to use a Docker run command like below to get things started. In this example, I put my local IP in as "192.168.1.2" but you'll need to adjust that value to whatever your machine's IP is. `docker run --rm -d -p 192.168.1.2:5314:5314 -e "CUSTOM_LEMMY_SERVERS=lemmy.world,sh.itjust.works,lemmy.ml" ghcr.io/aeharding/wefwef:latest` At that point, I went to my iPhone, opened Safari and went to 192.168.1.2:5314 and boom, there's wefwef. Install this as PWA and name it (local) or something to differentiate it from the normal wefwef and you're good to go. Disclaimer: I’m brand new to all of this so I’m sure this isn’t the best way. But it got me started, so I wanted to share.
