@Baleine@jlai.lu already mentioned one. And it does not really matter what the can do specifically to you. It matters what they can do and that you have no control. If you want to know what people can do with just your username look at this project: https://github.com/sherlock-project/sherlock. Now imagine what someone with more data can do.

Yes but No. For most people writing this kind of mail should not be a problem. However, for many different reasons it can become difficult to write such things: This mail is some kind of formal letter and alters a contract. Let's imagine someone with a learning disability, they may be able to sign up for a online service, as they have done it many times. Writing a formal letter they may not have done many times and they cannot map past experiences the same way as a neurotypical person.
Depending on the local law this may be a reason why forced arbitration has to be opt-in: Typically the law should protect the weaker party. As the barrier for writing this letter is higher than the sign-up process, there is an argument that the chosen opt-out process of discord is targeted against some of their weakest customers.
Good question, but: Why would Discord ever expect to be in a lawsuit or arbitration with you? Most people, like you, use it to chat with people they barely know and give them no money. Still discord think it is necessary to take away legal rights from all their users.
Small businesses can individually refuse to do business with the big shopping mall -> add threads to the block list ('defederate' them)
The big shopping mall is not allowed to put their building at the public square -> threads is not allowed to use ActivityPub
The first statement is totally ok and a lot of instances do this. However, similar like shopping malls it can pose a challenge for small businesses to stay competitive, while categorically refusing business with the big actor. The second statement would require the towns construction committee to not give the shopping mall a license to build. However, this construction committee is a centralised power and not in the design of ActivityPub.
I do not like threads and see them as a potential threat to what we have here. Exactly because it could become harder to stay competitive while refusing them. But i don't see much that we can actively do.
"We can't federate" is not really an option... Sure, every instance can add threads to the blocked list. But to keep big corporations out of 'our public square' ActivityPub would have to be twisted into a grotesque version of itself.
works pretty well - except on longer travels ;)
Considering that i have a free account registered to a 10 min mail and paying customers don't seem to have that problem... It might be some kind of protection against manipulating the charts aswell.
Agreed that Spotify kinda sucks. That is why i am using it the first time towards the end of a 3W trip :-D
With the modded apk and a 10min mail account it is worth the storage on my phone.
pretty sure those are the noisy minority. afterall more content drives more people. artificial walls wont benefit anyone...
great idea about the card game too!
You do realise this is a pirate community? The way yor comment reads, it seems like you dislike OP wanting free stuff.
I am aware of people doing some mental gymnastics to justify piracy. But IMHO that is about the same difference as a pirate to a privateer. Just acknowledge that you want stuff without paying and hoist that black flag.
looks like itch.io is down too. might be a coincidence or someone trying to show off...
