1 year agoI’m using Mlem, and love its iOS centric design and ease of use. It’s still a little buggy, occasionally the inbox or profile need a refresh to load correctly, but beyond that I think the app works great.

Personally I don’t see much that makes it better then Lemmy, but other people seem to, and that’s why I consider it “viable”. Lemmy is nice and all but everyone I’ve suggested it to seems to be against it. I’ve heard things like it looks “outdated”, it doesn’t look “fully featured”, it’s too hard to use, they don’t trust it, so on.
While I don’t agree with many things others say about Lemmy, it’s up to them to switch in the end, and they won’t for their own reasons. BlueSky, on the other hand, people seem to trust for some reason. Many people I still follow and keep up with on Twitter have said they want to switch to BlueSky when it’s available. Again, variety of reasons other people want to switch to it, but the main thing most are suggesting is they trust the people behind it, like Jack Dorsey.
In the end, I personally just want to keep up with the people I’m following, and that requires them to be on a platform we both use. For just about everyone I follow on Twitter, that seems to be BlueSky for whatever reason. As for now though Lemmy works fine so I still intend to use it though.
I only use Twitter for following artists who don’t post elsewhere. It took me five minutes today to hit the rate limit. I don’t know if it counted the comments as posts too or something but it’s literally unusable at this point unless you pay for a checkmark. Think I might just have to let Twitter go at this point, which is immensely frustrating considering how I won’t be able to support those Twitter only artists anymore.
Hoping BlueSky leaves invite only soon so there’s a viable platform to switch to. I haven’t been able to get an invite yet.
Also DoorDash driver, I did an order for a friend and took that as an opportunity to see if 100% of tips go to drivers, can verify they do.
Also, drivers can see tips, and can technically see before they accept orders too. It won’t say “There’s a $3 tip” directly, but DoorDash pays a flat $2.50 per order, so if an order is higher then that there is usually a tip.
