I’m a “buffoon” for disagreeing with you and for you not understanding an analogy?
That seems pretty childish, and you come across as an edgy teenager that wrongfully assumes they’re better than others.
Please consider stepping away from the internet the next time someone upsets you.
Happy about this. Been checking it every few months since it was announced, and the cancellation felt really shitty. It seems like it will be playable by the end of the year!
I can see where you’re coming from. But calling Roblox a “specific game” isn’t entirely accurate because it’s got millions of separate ones.
Sure, the majority of Roblox players are kids. But iirc about half are adults. It’s not literally 99% kids with the remaining 1% being pedophiles like you suggest.
Removing the chat function entirely isn’t the solution; pedos would just move somewhere else. Maybe all online chat should be restricted to those 18 and older?
Word games? Multiplayer competitive games?
It’s not just a roleplaying game.
Despite being pretty important to the gameplay, should the developers of other games primarily played by underaged people be forced to ban chat? Like other bigger multiplayer games like Fortnite, Among Us, Valorant, CSGO, etc.

If this isn’t bait, congrats, you just missed the entire point of the analogy.
While we’re at it, let’s remove commenting and posting from Lemmy for people that aren’t administrators.
This argument is just silly.
>Uses an iOS device
>Wants to be able to install third-party apps
>“Why do you want to be able to allow viruses?”
That would be stupid, many games rely on chat and aren’t exclusively played by children
It doesn’t matter what he does because they’ll say anything bad is fake
Please. Don’t. Eat. Him.
It’s like crack. Apparently someone spread a meme around of one of their banned account’s login info and got a shit load of people banned so reddit unbanned everyone, sounds stupid but maybe I’ll try that
If I were using the Mini, it would be because of the pencil. And if they gave iPhones (especially Pro Max) Apple Pencil support, although the experience would be a bit better on an iPad Mini, would it really be worth it for most people to buy, charge, and bring an extra device everywhere?
But, because Apple won’t do that, it’s a good device for some people. 120hz would make it great.
Well there’s no denying that’s inconvenient even if it’s what you prefer.
But why? I use a Leobog Hi75 which is a very thocky mech board, but I still appreciate the MacBook keyboard for being a decently satisfying keyboard especially considering how thin it is.
Thanks for making Blorp, it’s my favourite Lemmy app I’ve tried! And the lack of post flairs is something I’ve noticed, so I might try PieFed out.
If you want feedback on some more (very minor) things I would love to be fixed, here’s a list of things I’ve noticed:
I posted on the Blorp community yesterday about wanting a “read all” button for notifications (mostly because this post got a lot) so that would be really nice.
Other than that, it’s mostly just tiny things. Apparently Lemmy has a backend way to see user karma, so maybe seeing that would be nice to add as an option?
Maybe a button to copy and paste a post’s body text on mobile like on Reddit, or even a “save image/video” button? This is really minor.
And maybe an easier way to see the upvote/downvote ratio? (like 87% upvoted as an example)
Maybe this isn’t possible for some reason, but would a way to create a community inside of Blorp be possible? I don’t know if Lemmy works like that.
Thanks again for making this app, especially the fact that it’s on iOS. I hope it’s not too much of a time/financial burden because it’s great.
(All of this is from iOS by the way)
This is more of a recent thing.
Since the API changes, everyone’s been pretty much forced to use their first-party app, so they can collect even more data on you. But, even without it, they still collect a comically huge amount of data like how long you hover on a post or how fast you type on your keyboard.
That combined with the seemingly sudden leap in AI within the last 3-4 years has allowed them to employ AI specifically trained to detect evaders.
If you want to keep using Reddit, be careful, because second chances are very hard now!
I’ll admit it, if you don’t need MacOS to run software, iPad Pros are pretty great. But I wish they’d let us run external apps or MacOS apps!
My complaints start when you have to bring both along with you on the go. I think it should be one or the other.
I wouldn’t feel like this if they give us the OPTION for the MacBook to replace the iPad by giving it a 180° touchscreen with Pencil support, or for the iPad to replace the MacBook by allowing us to run external apps or MacOS.
On second thought, this is not about at home. Actually, an iPad synergies pretty amazingly with the other devices when being over-encumbered or away from an outlet isn’t an issue!
It’s just that on the go, ANOTHER device to deal with is annoying. It’s like bringing an external keyboard to use with your laptop because the keyboard is broken. You wouldn’t have to if it worked fine in the first place.
That’s why it doesn’t fit my workflow and I wish they gave us other options.
Thank you, helped a lot.
I don’t even think the evasion detection is that complicated.
Barring fingerprinting and IP shit, let’s say they index every single user that spends more than 25 hours on their site per month to lower computational load relative to if we did every single user.
For each of those users, they might record 10 of their most used “niche subreddits” (those with under 200,000 members, niche because most reddit users are in the non-niche subs so it’s not conclusive enough)
From that data alone, if a user happens to be into, say, Golden Age Minecraft, 3D Printing, Stampylongnose, Namesoundalike memes, Drakethetype memes, and be in a Saskatchewan local sub, ON TOP of the account being relatively new, this is enough evidence for Reddit to be 99.9% confident that you’re the same user as someone else with that data—and if that someone else with that data is banned, you’re gone too!
That’s how I think they do it. So, you have to completely change your usage habits on top of all device fingerprinting and IP stuff. Near impossible unless you’re not just terminally online (like me) but eternally online.
Seems unlikely that they’d do this just to catch ban evaders? They probably were already doing it for targeted ads, so might as well repurpose it for this, too!
Everyone in the comments denying it
