Well, you pay with your data so there’s that…

Wow. Revolutionary.

Oh, nice. Did not know that was a thing. Actually based.

Meta: “Oh no, anyway… Here’s Instagram Threads.”

I wouldn’t even download it if they paid me for it.

People expect to switch platforms and immediately have the same experience there is mind-blowing.

We all spent 10ish years (!) tailoring our experience on Reddit. It’s no surprise that you can’t replicate all of that within 2 weeks.

No bullshit official app, no account, no notifications. Easy.

WhatsApps main “killer feature” was being early in the market to quickly reach a critical user mass.

Doesn’t matter which competitor, people will install an alternative, see that only 5-10% of their contacts have it and will immediately uninstall.

I see potential in preinstalled messaging apps. But it needs to be cross-compatible between iOS and Android. Otherwise it won’t fly.

Many have tried, many have failed.

You simply need a killer feature to get people to change.

I actually have issues with wefwef now, gives me a lot of errors.

But I think the next days will be a little rough because of many new signups.

I think everybody checked the own posts for the karma they got for it. So I think it plays a huge role. Of course some people go too far and make it the only thing that matters about it. I won’t miss those people.

Paying a monthly fee and not even being able to see all content? No thank you.

That’s what happens if you try too hard to milk an existing franchise instead of going with your own ideas…

The amount of content is already fine. You are actually able to have meaningful discussions instead of being comment No 1000 that nobody reads.

All yours, I’m good.

So they did something right for the wrong reasons and with the wrong measures?

Which, in this particular case, wouldn’t be a bad thing. Just integrate the community aspects into Google Maps, make them optional.

The problem is: The die-hard CDPR fans pre-ordered the game (me included), then played through it despite the unfinished state and bugs (because we already waited a long time) and then never touched it again. So I read that they improved the game massively but I just never saw a reason to play through it again with so many other great games on my unfinished list…

Maybe a DLC could change that but I kinda made my peace with this game so I’m good.

If you are a member of such a small community, be sure to create it here. Users will usually take a look at Lemmy and first search for their favorite topics. If they don’t find anything, they will go back to Reddit…

Not even fair. The Zuck is a robot he doesn’t even feel any pain.
