Pakz	Maybe write a last message on twitter. It might get locked behind a paywall at any moment. Anything there might get unreadable too.

Kuron	S-tube is the only youtube alternative I know of, but that's more geared for TV boxes than touch screens. I use the Windows version of FreeTube and could not be happier.

cyangames	Had a quick play with freetube this morning, seems pretty damn good! -=-=- Web / Game Dev, occasionally finishes off coding games also!

Kuron	Anybody here still using twiX?

Pakz	In 2 countries you need to pay a dollar a year to post tweets. This to limit bots. Maybe a quick roll out following? Spam bots have been getting a lot more frequent. I suspect this might be done deliberately to get the 400 million active users to start spending a dollar a year. Btw. A buck might be worth it. I stil use twitter.

Jayenkai	I typically only post to it when I feel the need to get the attention of a particular company. The other day I tweeted to point out an evil advert on NintendoLife. I've also recently nagged Team17 to make that Arcade Pool sequel, and also pointed out to KORG that Gadget is now a decade old. Other than those things, and the odd reply, I've not really been using Twitter at all, any more. Now that typing "twee[enter]" into the address bar no longer leads to Tweetdeck, and instead gets me to a Bing Result page where Bing Chat tries to explain what Twee means.. That's a nice good end to my old habits. -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''

cyangames	Am on there but my username is secret

Pakz	Next thing. A rumor that it is being discussed behind the screens in the X company to block X in Europe. I think the algorithm on Internet starts showing every possible bit of X and Y news. Once you start cliking on these.

Jayenkai	Yeah, but so far, none of it's been untrue. These "crazy" ideas somehow seem to keep happening. -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''

Pakz	Notifications are said to be turned off today. And those hanna 'like' bots are stil active. Edit: just when I opened and started using Facebook. Twitter reported a notification from today. i think they are working on ways to lure more people to their app.

Pakz	Instagram is starting to mute non paying users. They are giving the option to users to only show messages from paying users. No idea yet if interaction like responses from non paying users wil be hidden too. Seems this might turn into something that is going to be used on other media's too.

cyangames	Restarted my twitter account, give a guy a follow if you like, just gamedev content: @RefreshGamesDev What's a good mastodon instance for game dev? -=-=- Web / Game Dev, occasionally finishes off coding games also!

Kuron	I use https://universeodon.com/ simply because George Takei uses it. Good enough for Sulu, good enough for me!
Thu, 26 Oct 2023, 15:52
Jayenkai	I don't think that matters as much as people think it does. I don't think I've used the "Local" thing at all. Once you're following/followed by a number of folk, if they're retooting your content, your toots end up on that person's local instance, too. I think variety is the best option. Try to connect to people on as many different servers as you can, and hope for the best! -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''

cyangames	Cool, I'll have a looksy about
Thu, 26 Oct 2023, 16:24
Kuron	Anything you post is universal from my understanding, its more of a picking which neighborhood you reside in.
Thu, 26 Oct 2023, 16:39
Kuron	I would be interested in Twitter now that people aren't getting censored left and right, but not remotely interested in paying for it, especially when they can't make up their mind what it costs and what it covers.
Sat, 28 Oct 2023, 01:49
Kuron	@cyangames I just followed you on twiX. I am @KuronStevens Followed Jay as well. Give a follow back, guys, if you would please.
Sat, 28 Oct 2023, 01:54
Pakz	Your @kuronstevens does not give any results. Better not follow me I stil seem to be fed lots of social news items and get lost in replying and interacting to those. I do try to train the algorithm to show as much gamedev as possible. But I must be bad at that.

Kuron	KURON @KuronStevens
Sat, 28 Oct 2023, 02:05
Pakz	Ok. It must have been in a different X cache and not updated in this part or something. After a couple of tries it now does show up. edit: It was in the persons tab!
Sat, 28 Oct 2023, 02:09
Kuron	I will pay for twiX. $8 per month I can handle. Nice to have an uncensored place to upload content, including videos. Had YT not banned me, I would not be paying for twiX, or have even joined.
Sat, 28 Oct 2023, 02:13
Pakz	The #pixelart and #gamedev hash search is a nice daily scroll here on X.
Sat, 28 Oct 2023, 02:21
Kuron	I will be sure to check those out. Never used it before so there will be a learning curve.
Sat, 28 Oct 2023, 08:51
Pakz	There was news today about a 3 dollar a month subscription model coming soon. Also a new high tier where you wil be placed on top of view lists and such.
Thu, 14 Dec 2023, 03:17
Pakz	Threads launching in mainland Europe in 45 minutes. I wil test it out. No idea if I wil delete later.
