Ah, fair enough, thanks! // Yeah I looked into Hexbear briefly and it didn't seem like my jam, but I'll check out slrpnk and dbzer0.

No, what would be better is if that guy got a bad case of my backhand across his mouth every time he opens it.

Seems like an opportunity to lose users. The whole instance thing is already kinda confusing for new people (source: just joined yesterday), but making every instance only connect to a select few instances would mean having to make an account on multiple different instances if you wanted to see a disparate selection of content. As much as I enjoy debating politics and religion I wouldn't join a server that only showed those communities because I also like videos of huskies being sassy, battletech memes, etc.

What's hilarious is that my perma-ban got lifted on appeal, I can post and shit now, but the message they sent me said it was denied and would stay in place. They are so goddamnned confused over there.

Thanks, that ought to get me started.

The message about my perma-ban was actually 11 hours older than the message about my temp-ban being lifted, so they perma-banned me and then un-temp-banned me, which is.. kinda fucky.

I haven't used it in a couple years now, so maybe they've gotten better. shrug Also never tried it on my phone, I use duckduckgo's browser.

I'm new myself, thanks for the recommendations. While you're at it, do you happen to know of any good political/religion debate .. subs? what are they called here? I'm going to call them subs for now. Maybe some Anarchist and non-tankie Communist subs?

I just arrived today myself, after being temp-banned for 7 days for some bullshit reasons that the appeal team agreed were bullshit so they unbanned me, but not before someone else perma-banned me for violating the rules on 'my other accounts' -- I've had a single reddit account for the entire 14 years I've been there, I don't even make throwaways, so, even more bullshit. I appealed that one too, but even if it's overturned I'm not sure I'm going back. They've gotten real fucking fashy all of a sudden with the censorship, banning people for upvoting shit and calling it 'inciting violence.' Fuck 'em.

Yeah, it's textbook enshittification.

The main issue I have with Firefox is that some pdfs have this side-by-side layout (especially rpg pdfs) that Firefox respects and I keep having to turn it off every time I load a new one. Chrome doesn't respect it and shows it a page at a time like I want. My eyes don't work too good so side by side the text is just too small.

I used Brave for a while and found I still needed to use ublock to cover some things, especially stuff like Youtube ads.
