As always, the paying user has the worst experience. "Purchase" a show, can only watch on a certain console of a certain brand, no transfers, no backups, then it suddenly disappears from the library and nothing can be done.

If media companies insist on draconian DRM, then they should pay for full refunds to their loyal customers when one day they decide to delist that specific show.

I wish u could retweet a lemmy comment. Well said.

[-] cupcakezealot@lemmy.blahaj.zone 44 points 11 months ago

technically you can since lemmy, kbin, and mastodon all use activitypub :P

[-] aldalire@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 11 months ago

How tho. I use the Voyager app for Lemmy (iOS)

[-] cupcakezealot@lemmy.blahaj.zone 13 points 11 months ago

you can technically follow lemmy users in mastodon. in megalodon (or whatever your client is), just search for the lemmy handle. their posts are toots and their comments are replies

Mind = blown, I didn't know Lemmy could talk to mastadon

Not within Lemmy, but if you were on, for example, a federated Mastodon instance it's perfectly possible to boost that comment that would appear like a retweet to Mastodon users.

The Voyager community (I use it too), JUST had a post from the developer that he added a feature to post comments as pictures, but I don't actually know how to do it.

welcome to the fediverse. Boost = retweet ;)

[-] Untitled_Pribor@kbin.social 2 points 11 months ago
