Like a lot of things, it was good at first. Then they made it shitty.

I had small ads that I barely noticed, no need for any crypto account, and it gave me 5~10€/month to automatically send to Wikipedia (or any website I felt like paying).

Now that crypto account is mandatory it's just useless...

I still use it on a few devices but mainly because I'm too lazy to replace it by something else.

Completely depends on the country

Yes but this thread is about something happening in France, so I wasn't talking about US laws...

If you get arrested during a protest, they can force you to unlock the phone (it can be a felony to refuse) , so better not to bring it at all.

It was changed recently, now upvote works similar to lemmy/reddit (but also adds things to your favourites)

Boost is more for the microblogging side of kbin, it's like a retweet. (also adds more reputation points but that's not really useful for anything right now)

Nice!

The PWA rotation issue is really annoying, happy to see this will be fixed. :)

Currently :

  • "Boost" adds reputation. It's a kind of retweet.

  • "Downvote" removes reputation

  • "Upvote" does nothing. (edit : for reputation)

This is because previously the upvote was boost, they were switched around to be similar to other fediverse systems.

Dev mentioned in another thread that the reputation system should be changed to have up/down count instead of boost/down. But they have a lot to do right now so it might not be the most pressing issue...
