  • I have a fold 4 which I love. Was thinking about switching to the flip so I went to check one out. All the reasons you listed where the things drawing me to it until I remembered I wear a smart watch and do all that already without taking my phone out. Then it became useless to me. The only benefit would be the small form factor when in my pocket but like I said, I have a fold, big phone in my pocket doesn’t really bother me. And the biggest thing in would miss is being able to set my phone down half folded and watch videos on the vertical half. A feature I didn’t think I would use but I do all the time.





  • Adblocker do great job at filtering out the majority of ads.

    Oh believe me, I’ve been running UBlock Origin for a long time. When I use a computer without it, I’m just amazed at the amount of ads nowadays

    I’d argue that there are better contenders, but this is a discussion for entirely different community. 😜

    Oh of course, little bit of hyperbole in my statement, but I definitely believe the internet has been a gift and a curse for society.

    Yeah, I was born in the early 80s and grew up watching the internet grow, so I know how to navigate for the best experience for me. But I don’t think it can be denied that the vast majority of people don’t and fall right into the toxicity most of the time. And the effect it’s had on sociaty is hard to ignore.



  • I really think despite that we don’t have overall karma, people still get off on getting highly rated posts. I mostly lurked on Reddit, but would occasionally post something and I can’t deny that I enjoyed seeing the post get a lot of upvotes. But here on Lemmy, I became a mod of a couple communities and I post a lot and I’ve noticed I don’t even pay attention to the scores at all. I think one reason is since I post a lot more, I don’t pay attention, and also the scores don’t generally get as high, due to the smaller userbase. But I agree, people need to get out of that mentality of trying to get the highest rated post scores. It really makes it much more enjoyable to get involved in discussions, IMO.
