• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Musk 'Pressured' Reddit CEO to Silence DOGE Critics, Leaving Moderators Outraged: Report.⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ 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.

  2. Always and forever.
• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How Gamergate foreshadowed the toxic hellscape that the internet has now become.⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ 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.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨You can only imagine what is going on in there⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Grindr convention

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is it safe to travel with your phone right now?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  No.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why I recommend against Brave.⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

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

  2, please.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Internet forums are disappearing because now everything is Reddit and Discord. And that's worrying.⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

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

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Internet forums are disappearing because now everything is Reddit and Discord. And that's worrying.⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  There’s a DeepL browser extension for that.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Internet forums are disappearing because now everything is Reddit and Discord. And that's worrying.⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  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?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  This is not a US specific issue, tbh. I’ve heard this weird belief repeated by all sorts of people.

  shakes fist THE DANES!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨DOGE Plan to Push AI Across the US Federal Government is Wildly Dangerous⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  They seem that way because they are.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Amazon Boycot March 7-14th | No Purchases. Its time to disrupt the system.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ 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.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Amazon Boycot March 7-14th | No Purchases. Its time to disrupt the system.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  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.
