@CozyPuPP This actually made me more mad than anything. People who HAVE been supporting his site had their friends chased away with a broom and now have far lower engagement over there because of it.
@that_groyper@CozyPuPP That's one of the points Ive been drilling over there for three days and they just don't get it. Even the advertisers who are losing a lot of traffic are being ignored.
@Shini_Koroshi@CozyPuPP I really think Torba is focused on new gimmicks with AI and stuff and just sees the social site as dead weight. I feel like this was his way to squeeze money out of nice people that trusted him before the place is folded up entirely.
If he really wanted to save the site with funding, there were 1000 better ways to do it. Better appeals to raise funds, better compromises and rewards, etc. I would have likely stayed there if the ability to post lower res images stayed intact for free users, and I likely would have considered upgrading for the ability to post videos, since that matters to me.
Yet, the site has had bugs and bad functionality now for a couple of years, problems that were never addressed. The way he abruptly announced this and then absolutely SHIT on his users made it pretty clear he just wanted us to leave.
His attitude and deception pissed me off far more than losing my ability to post images. He shit on my friends, some of the nicest and most generous people I've known online, and he basically nuked and shattered entire communities because he's an egotistical faggot.
@that_groyper@Shini_Koroshi@CozyPuPP glad you're still here with us friend. if you see issues bring them up to me, we try to address any bugs we run into
@graf@Shini_Koroshi@CozyPuPP Only issue I noticed was me posting a hi-res video and it having trouble loading, but IDK enough about how your site does video compression to even address it lmao. Really my fault for not compressing it first since I figured there would be a more aggressive compression automatically. Most lower res vids I've seen load fine. Other than that everything seems smooth, thankful and glad to have this site.
@that_groyper@Shini_Koroshi@CozyPuPP we dont. its as its uploaded. nothing like gab that transcodes everything. im working on replacing cloudflare with our own solution this year (started last year but a lot happened) which will remove the restriction of filesize on upload so we can crank out some higher quality shit. but i agree some things should be transcoded and i will look into this
@graf@Shini_Koroshi@CozyPuPP Hmm yeah I'm ignorant of all. For some files, no compression is good (like some of the big Groyper videos I work on that can get up to 60-80 mb in size) so full quality is appreciated, but at the same time, I can see how uncompressed videos on here could quickly lead to issues. Anyway for now, I'll just be sure to compress some of the bigger videos until the new thing is implemented
@graf@that_groyper@Shini_Koroshi@CozyPuPP Brother Graf I checked Gab when people kept poasting links to it the other day and it is so fucking boring not a funny meme of shitpoast and nay not a single anime girl what a desolate shit hole who the fuck would go there instead of Fedi innit
@that_groyper@Dan_Hulson@Shini_Koroshi@CozyPuPP thats good. this and its counter parts (nostr (gay), minds (gay), bluesky (super fucking gay)) are the future and all are federated including bluesky soon using another bridge. gab et al are on a collision course for failure
@graf@Starprophet1@CozyPuPP@Shini_Koroshi@that_groyper@Zergling_man Brother Graf that schizo is still going crazy in that thread I take it you muted him he just causing shit to get banned so he can cry on gab innit. I'm going bed shortly see you later mate have a good en
