As a #company, if you release a new #version of your #product, and it immediately causes the #price of #used examples of the previous product to jump to 50% more than the #new one, then you know you have #failed the #consumer, utterly.

Yes, #Dymo, I'm looking at you.

Remember #Patreon set up new on-by-default sharing of your account information with every other Patreon user (and maybe the world)? Remember people posting how to turn it off, because they were using confusing language/dark patterns to try to #trick you into oversharing?

I got the "welcome to the new Patreon" today, and ... they've turned the "Community Profile" setting back on after I deliberately turned it off.

Go check your settings, and opt out -- again.

You tried.

For what it's worth, I agree with another poster who said that ST:V was by far the worst picture. Star Trek: The Motion Picture does grow on you with every showing.

I get that your experiences behind the scenes make it difficult to enjoy, but for me, it was one of the first few films I saw in a theater. I had to sit in the front row, staring up at this giant bald woman that towered over us from about ten feet away...

@lauren @virtualbri

One of the criticisms of it was that it was so slow-moving; wags called it "Star Trek: The Motionless Picture".

Was this problem, or others noted today, apparent to the cast and crew while working on it?

I don't think she's quite as invisible as she thinks she is.

@feditips Right - thank you. I get the visibility effects.

To confirm, regarding the people who saw the original message (because they followed the author or group or whatever) -- they won't see my reply unless they follow me, they're @-mentioned, or browse the local/federated timelines on an instance that received it because of @-mentions or follows. Correct?

I hoped the in_reply_to_id and in_reply_to_account_id would share it with readers of the original message, but figured not.

@feditips Again, thanks for the posts and the writeups on your website...

I have a question about replies and who sees them. I didn't find anything directly related in your FAQs/FGAs.

If I reply to a random message - not someone I follow - where is my reply distributed to? I'm guessing it's not "my followers plus whoever the original message was distributed to", which would be useful and obvious 😀

Is it just my followers plus whoever's @-mentioned in my post? Thanks!
