Got archived because it's "feature complete" and won't receive more updates, but some package managers removed it.
There is objectively better alternatives like fastfetch.

Reddit Gives Final Warning to Subreddits Using NSFW Protest Tactic

I mean sure posts about Reddit makes us seem like the bitter ex, but they are to be expected, since it's the only thing all Lemmy users have in common: Being ex-Redditors. It will stop naturally with time.

If you're still having issues with apps, try wefwef.app. I have no complaints since I started using it.

Bad post, good post, red post, blue post.

Even if a post is a couple of days old, I feel like I can still comment and be part of the conversation here. On Reddit, if you miss the first few hours, your comment will probably be unseen, so why bother?

Are we on good terms with the mods of r/Lemmy and r/RedditAlternatives?
Yeah I moderate /r/Lemmy. If you need anything, let me know. I'm more likely to read your message quickly if you sent me a message through Reddit (a PM, not chat, as I still use RiF).

Counting Android is just lying. ChromeOS and WSL are a stretch, but you can make an argument for them.

Changing the JWT secret does this. So instead of a button, its a line of code, making it less likely to be done by mistake.

Four apps and counting, how is everyone else doing?

I've tried Jerboa, Connect, Thunder, Liftoff, Lemmotif, and the PWA. Jerboa has the best interface/ux imo, by far. Thunder is the least buggy to use, and the developer is a machine, doing constant updates. These 2 I think have the most potential.

It's been a while since I used Jerboa. Will give it a try. Thanks to all contributers.

Should I use a pseudonym when writing political essays?
If you are still somewhat young, its better to use a pseudonym. I'm not sure how "spicy" we are talking, but you might not be as much of an "extremist" when you grow up, so it's better to not have these ideas permanently linked to your name. It might even affect job prospects, no matter whether you change your ideology or not.

Has anyone else been trying to break their reddit-era habit of downvoting?
HackerNews has an interesting approach: You can't downvote comments unless you reach a certain amount of "Karma", and you can't downvote posts at all, you can "flag" them, meaning you think they don't belong here. Flagging doesn't affect the vote count, but massive flagging does make the post appear lower in the feed, and alerts mods.
This, alongside the tight moderation and zero-tolerance towards flame wars in the comments makes HackerNews one of the best places on the internet imho.

West Bank ‘not occupied’ territory, says Ron DeSantis

He is not denying that they are building settlemens. He just doesn't consider it occupation. Anything for more donors, I suppose.

I'm almost the same as OP, but I wouldn't call it "head in the sand". For the past few years, the media has been exaggerating everything and creating mass hysteria. If you follow the news closely, you'll think the world is about to end: Wars, economical depressions, climate changes, new pandemics, etc..
Stop following the news, and you won't notice a thing. Probably the price increases, but other than that, your life is the same.

Though if Twitter goes under, I'm sure Facebook will have a hard time explaining why they aren't a monopoly. That has been taken seriously before.

Yeah I posted this 2 years ago. The way "Active" sorting works in Lemmy, is you see the posts with recent comments. Someone commented on this, pushing it back to the front page.
