- Comment on Musk 'Pressured' Reddit CEO to Silence DOGE Critics, Leaving Moderators Outraged: Report. 1 month ago:
Same complaint. Reddit posts with 100s or 1000s of replies were mostly a few good posts drowning in spam.

Tesla Chrome and Android by X incoming.

- Always and forever.
- Comment on How Gamergate foreshadowed the toxic hellscape that the internet has now become. 1 month ago:
That’s the problem with ‘deplatforming.’
The crazies migrate to another platform and then that platform gets bigger and crazier and perhaps eventually competes with the original, more mainstream platforms.

Grindr convention

The crazy conspiracy guy I know uses Brave, so that already put me off.

Ah. I follow now. Sorry I didn’t realise you had linked to google translate in the post.

There’s a DeepL browser extension for that.

Try DeepL. It’s the superior translation app, as far as I’m concerned. Based in the EU, I believe.
- Comment on Bookwyrm.social, BookBrainz, OpenLibrary, etc. 1 month ago:
I was just looking into that and found that, apparently, you should be able to migrate your data quite easily. I already did so from Goodreads to Storygraph, and it was easy enough.
- Comment on Bookwyrm.social, BookBrainz, OpenLibrary, etc. 1 month ago:
I also use Storygraph and like it well enough. Is there a good reason to switch to Bookwyrm?
- Comment on Is 33 cents a small amount of money? 2 months ago:
This is not a US specific issue, tbh. I’ve heard this weird belief repeated by all sorts of people.

- Comment on Amazon Boycot March 7-14th | No Purchases. Its time to disrupt the system. 2 months ago:
Do it! Many have already deleted their accounts, including me, and the only thing that has really changed is that delivery takes a bit longer.

I can’t deny the convenience Amazon provide people in terms of their logistics and the range of products available in one place.
In saying that, it’s really not that difficult to forgo, and there are plenty of alternatives. Don’t buy books: get a library card. Buy your electronics from Canada Computers or other similar stores. Healthy Planet and Well.ca are great for cosmetics and self care. Trade prime for a Plex server. There are plenty of options.
I fully deleted my amazon account at the start of this Trump mess and asked them to delete all of my personal data. Life goes on.
