I don't know the song, are the "wrong people" shooting kids or holding hands with a person of the same gender?
I have a hunch it's the latter, but I want to have some hope.
Every platform is nice at the start, for mainly the reason you say: people who join early have an interest in the platform, so we actually try to keep it nice.
Then every successful new platform gets its own eternal september. A large influx of people who don't care about the platform at all, they just want to use it to talk to people. And of these, yes many are still nice people, but also many aren't.
You see this in all kinds of communities, not just online. If you're in a new or niche hobby, everybody there will have an interest in improving the hobby and the small community, so it will probably be very nice. When it gets mainstream (I'm looking at MTG here, but other people probably know other examples) then it starts to attract people who do nothing but complain.
This really depends on the bully.
Some want attention - they want your reaction, often your overreaction so they can make themselves look like a victim. In these cases, ignoring them for a while will probably make them move on to the next target.
Some want power - they want you to look weak so they can look strong. They like the feeling that you can't do anything to them. Ignoring these will make them continue. Here you have to fight back.
And yes, usually you don't know what your bully wants.
Sadly, it was destined to fail. In Diaspora and in Google+.
The thing is, while people definitely do have different circles, they don't like to think about these circles in an explicit way.
Facebook has had something like this for a while now, you can set visibility settings on every post, but again almost nobody uses it.
This is all true:
Not everyone with money could build two huge successful companies (and let's face it, while he didn't found Tesla, the company wouldn't be this successful without him).
Someone without money (as in, at least multiple millions) could never do this, no matter how talented.
Elon Musk has repeatedly beaten the odds when everyone was telling him that it's impossible or stupid. He did this at least 3 times. But this breaks a man. He starts to think that every idea of his is a good one, especially when everyone else is telling him it's stupid. A good example is George Lucas, prequels ~~and sequels~~ were the way they were because he didn't have to listen to anyone, so he didn't.
Does anyone remember Google+? When they tried to make everyone with a YouTube account also have a Google+ account.
Spoiler alert: it didn't go well
I've set the registration date on my account back 100 years just to show how easy it is to manipulate Lemmy when you run your own server.
That's exactly what a vampire that was here 100 years ago would say.
Does the value you get of the game change depending on which time of the year you buy it?
Actually, the only change is up, as the game was improving and expanding pretty much constantly from the first early release to version 1.1. And it value is going up, when you buy in early access you're only getting the current (unfinished but playable) state and a "promise" that it will get better in the future. When you buy the finished product you're already certainly getting that better state, so it makes sense that it's more expensive.
The standalone password managers also allow you to enter credentials into apps on your phone or desktop even if login doesn’t happen in a Web view.
This is possible with in-browser password managers too, at least with Firefox on Android, and I would be really surprised if it weren't supported by Chrome as well.
I use the Firefox password manager too. It's easy and convenient and I still haven't seen any reasonable claim about it being insecure, or any other reason to switch.
Am I missing out on something by not using a separate password manager?
They do have a principle: "The cruelty is the point". This is usually used for far-right groups, who use conservatism as an excuse to hurt people, but it applies just as well to those who use anti-US sentiment to hurt people.
