  • It rarely happens. It most often happens when traveling. FYI if you plan to travel you can typically inform your card company or bank ahead of time to avoid this.

    Occasionally I have had it trigger when I’m at an event or convention where there are multiple vendors from out of state. Going from one to the other rapidly seems to trigger automatically.

    I’ve never not been able to reverse it with a three minute phone call. Yes I can be annoying. But I’d rather be annoyed once every other year than have to deal with getting my money back.

    Keep in mind fraud on a credit card is often really easy to deal with. But if someone takes money from your debit card, banks often take much longer to investigate and return the money. Whereas a credit card company will reverse the transaction on your card immediately and then investigate.

















  • How about basic usability considerations? Nobody is going to switch if this is the user experience. And if no users are subscribing and interacting why would content creators spend time posting to it?

    If people want it to be a thriving community then it needs functionality that makes it a community. I shouldn’t have to creat an account on a server I don’t want content from in hopes that I’ll be able to subscribe and interact with a server I do want content from.

    I’m an established fediverse user, I have been rolling my own Linux servers for decades. I’m perfectly capable of dealing with imperfect systems. This is a shit user experience and if nobody says so it will never be fixed and peertube will wither and die.
