well, I don’t think people would actually move platforms if that happened. reddit did some stuff that everyone hated and it’s still absolutely massive while the alternative, Lemmy, is small af. that’s not even considering the difficulty of making an alternative to YouTube.

They’re eventually gonna start banning accounts for this and then requiring login to view YouTube.
i have no idea what this comment is. is it ragebait? is it smug? is it genuine? did they anticipate the downvotes because they believe this is an unpopular opinion? did they expect more downvotes? did they mean to say shirts? do they specifically scan for shirts without logos, no matter the price? do they think everyone in public with logos on his clothes is an idiot? does he have a superiority complex?

71·11 days agoEh not really. Instagram filters are hard coded to work on people and mostly work by scanning for facial features and placing a 3d model/effects in relation to it. This actually generated an entirely new image based on everything in the original.

Unpopular Opinion@lemmy.world•Piefed is buggy and slow and Blorp sucks...English
51·24 days agoBlorp absolutely does not “suck” and this user either has a problem or is just generally rude.
throughout my nearly 3 years making Photon I’ve had my fair share of hate comments, including one thread on a post, by someone encouraging people to check photon out, filled with people absolutely dunking on it.
your software is great enough to be noticed and hosted by several Lemmy and piefed instances, and you’ve got nearly 1000 or more users on a client for a super niche platform. you’ve done something right.
speaking from experience, hate comments really do dig into you even amongst a sea of positivity, but I hope you know that the opinion of 1 immature person does not matter in the grand scheme of things.
one more thing: people are much more likely to speak out when they have a problem versus when they enjoy some software. I guarantee you for every person either leaving feedback or complaining, there are 10 more silently enjoying your app.
yo you can just turn a choice into a meme and the crowd will go crazy

even if it was skewed, I knew that it’s what everyone else was seeing. it brings a sense of community (even though it started to get overtaken by frontpage bots)
it’s a weird feeling when a feature to see the same stuff that everyone else sees gets removed in favor of personalized feeds. it’s like my connection with the outside world was severed. this sucks.
