While I didn’t see anything promising from my quick search, you might be able to try something with Gadgetbridge and a custom entry. I found older posts talking about it, but I didn’t search well enough to see if there’s been progress

Do you have any guides or tips for others that might want to do the same?
‘clean up your PC’ type programs get sketchy, so reliable recommendations would be appreciated

- Comment on ‘Eugenics on steroids’: the toxic and contested legacy of Oxford’s Future of Humanity Institute 4 days ago:
I must have had a very surface level understanding of what it was. The parts I saw previously were about finding which charities to donate to and career development.
I’ve got more to read about for sure

rise to cultish ideas such as effective altruism
I hadn’t heard of any controversies around EA, it always seemed like a positive thing.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Effective_altruism
So what I’m getting is that the philosophies aren’t the problem, but rather it’s members of the community doing unethical things in the name of the movement

Bay Area Misogyny
In a 2023 Time magazine article, seven women reported misconduct and controversy in the effective altruism movement. They accused men within the movement, typically in the Bay Area, of using their power to groom younger women for polyamorous sexual relationships.[147] The accusers argued that the majority male demographic and the polyamorous subculture combined to create an environment where sexual misconduct was tolerated, excused or rationalized away.

I think that’s because it’s filtered to Lemmy software, and sorted from largest to smallest. Once you do that, it looks similar

For what it’s worth, it doesn’t realistically change much since Lemmy (software) doesn’t federate with Threads in any meaningful way. The benefits are there, my understanding is that it’s mostly symbolic. This is also why you might see a lot of Mastodon instances staying federated with Threads, because there are tangible benefits and drawbacks to that decision.
As for WHY an instance is staying Federated, see some discussion from this other thread here: lemmy.ca/post/11771031
It’s not as simple as “that instance is a traitor”, and attacking other users/admins over this without considering the nuance is silly.

www.mozilla.org/en-CA/mission/
Our mission is to ensure the Internet is a global public resource, open and accessible to all. An Internet that truly puts people first, where individuals can shape their own experience and are empowered, safe and independent.
I would say that is a better mission than just promoting “free communication”

A downside to a statement like this would be the ‘crying wolf’ effect. If that message pops up on information they know to be true, where it’s being shared because it is important or relevant, then people are less likely to care.
A neutral message would help prevent that

Could you share more details about the pass, or where you are in the world? It might help figure out which technologies are being used

- Comment on Protocol for purging inactive moderators? 1 week ago:
I would recommend either messaging the accounts, or contacting the admins about it. If there are no replies after a set amount of time (maybe a week?), then remove them. The admins can also confirm that the account hasn’t logged-in in months, which simplifies the decision
Since they’re welcome back once they become active again and want to rejoin, you don’t need to make too much work for yourself in removing them :)
