I don’t see how something like this would provide a better shopping experience for consumers then just going straight to wallmart.com or amazon.com or any other storefront accessible through a web browser. The only thing different is that its happening on the Roblox client (not a web browser or dedicated app) and you get a virtual item alongside the physical item (not saying the digital accessories are bad but they’re definitely not much of a “perk” of purchasing through the Roblox client.)

Wait… there’s no planet noob… damn 😔

Discord is a good service to engage with communities but what I hate most is when services, platforms and whatnot use Discord as their primary means of official communication like for announcements.

Having to be in a lot of servers purely to get announcements results in an already limited total sever count that one can join to be even more limited.

I’m too young to have experienced RadioShack and Blockbuster Video. Also Toys R Us still exists in my country (Still exists in Canada.) To make a close equivalent I’d say maybe Sears or Target, both whom no longer have a presence in Canada.

Reddit is talking about decentralization and stuff like that like they aren’t a centralized platform themselves. Giving control to the community, but remember if we don’t like what you’re doing with your communities we’ll threaten your moderation team!!!

Threads just needs to add more features. It’s pretty bare bones right now and has a lot of room for improvements especially comparing it to Twitter. Once they do that I think it will be easier for them to retain users.

It’s sitting at 2.8 here in Canada!

I’m using Connect for Lemmy though I am waiting for Sync to release as a Lemmy client. Once that releases I’ll probably switch to that.
