This rap beef between Drake and Kendrick Lamar has the whole HOOD talking and it's really reminded me of how fucking glad I am that I'm not black and can completely disregard it
attention newfags: if you don't understand this website or the websites its connected to, brother tyler made an introduction video, watch it on PoastTV
@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.
@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.
@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.
@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@n3f_X Carlton was one of my oldest twitter friends. He's actually one of the few mutuals I had from my pre-groyper days when I was a wojak account.
@graf I'm more inclined to donate to this site I just gotta stop being lazy. The main reason I didn't support gab is because it ran like shit, had no engagement, and retard Torba chose to insult his userbase and drive them away (likely on purpose). He basically did the same thing twitter did to us without actually banning us. He said "Get out of here, this is a boomer scam zone. You're not welcome." So, fuck him.
