How does one follow a community from another instance. for instance, beehaw's gaming community I would like to follow, but when i am there, it makes be create a separate account.

I hate ads. They are annoying, and waste too much of my time, are irrelevant to me 90% of the time, and often can be malicious.

I would like to watch videos on youtube, but I dont wish to watch videos on youtube if there are ads. Also, ads are not every now and again, they are 2 ads for every video without fail now. 2x 30s ads for a 5 minute video is as bad as cable, I ditched cable and replaced it with youtube.

Honestly, the age of gaming laptops is here IMO. Most gaming laptops come with insanely good specs for $1500-2000 and with the advent of eGPUs you dont sacrifice on AAA game gfx when at home.

I got a lenovo legion 2 years ago for $1750, and have been able to play every AAA game release on it without issues without an eGPU. Some of them I have had to run one step down from Ultra, but I am still able to play an amazing looking game without problems.

I want games like the past, with almost no tutorials at all. Give me pokemon red, yellow where the prof is like, heres a pokemon, a pokedex, and some old guy will teach you to catch a pokemon next door. BOOM, pokemon expert.

More mature, traditional mmorpg style questing, real time battles against NPC's, wild pokemon, and other trainers.

Brave browser has both an option to reject cookies automatically, and to delete all cookies when you close the browser. Along with a number of other built in privacy options, including built in addblocker that (imo) works better than ublock or adblock plugins.

uBlock is terrible, use brave browser. I cant even use the internet with ublock or adblock plugins, the amount that leaks through is annoying AF.
