Mastodon certainly has a lot of creative, unique apps. You can definitely find a fit just for you.

But I think the #Threadiverse is having it's own golden era right now with a plethora of choices for us finicky #Fediverse users. The best list I could find for #Lemmy is attached, but it's still missing a few newcomers, like @bean

Nothing near as comprehensive for #kbin yet (the API is still getting it's legs) but there is the amazing @ArtemisApp

unplugged,

I used #kbin & #lemmy for a couple days on a measured rate internet connection and it sucked ~2gb of my credit (half my credit for a month). Yikes. I don’t know which one did the damage but I suspect kbin since I had images disabled on the browser I used for lemmy. I guess I’ll have to step away from the #threadiverse until I find a text-based linux app for one of them.

In the end, it was easier to transfer my payments to my other bank and close my account than to get n26 to understand that some Irish addresses have house names, not house numbers.

🤦‍♂️

unplugged,

@aral I’m surprised you would use since they are a FATCA bank (thus they are happy to do a bit of extra info sharing). Anyway, reason for chiming in: couldn’t you have provided a ukpostbox.com address to get around their address incompetence whilst also getting a bit of privacy?

unplugged,

@aral The other thing is, couldn’t you have introduced a bogus house number next to the name, or would that become undeliverable? I had a similar problem with a bank and address incompetence & adding an extra address line worked for me as a strange hack.

unplugged,

@aral @unplugged You need a team of ~20 or so volunteer assistants working on digital rights research alone :) And probably a team of ~50 or so volunteer developers writing code as well.
